Many Speaking In Dreams Lyrics

brought down the flame upon the earth for mortals
this they desired in vain
they strove to reach the highest honor
they rendered the course of their steps full of trouble

they gather knowledge only from the mouths of others
and pursue things rather from their own judgment
it has already prevailed in the past times
the fear of punishment poisons
and injury involves everyone
security they desired in vain

on which shoulders would you lay the authority?
and who of us here shall claim perfection?
many speaking in dreams
and who of us here shall claim perfection?
many speaking in dreams

they're said to have revealed secrets
to have published to the world
long concealed atrocities
and for them who sought the revisionist past
was it not revised?
the past they thought they knew
the past they thought they knew
what caused the scatter in the first place?
the split of the tongues
the split of the tongues
what caused all the clamour within?
and why aren't you screaming?
why aren't you screaming?
