The human condition is an illusion, heap of bullshit
A ghost, and we all see through it
We calm our hearts, imperfect parts of us
Our bodies with empty minds are so stupid

Unfairly high expectations of our lives
Weak, and ambitious, opportunistic
Without a personality, my memories
Are all that I have with no place to be

Try not to cry in between the dreaming
I'll don the mask that I’m supposed to show
Because I know just when to hide it
So can you tell me the truth?

So banish the darkness, so banish the darkness
The fall of the veil of night is the cue for us
Facе to face along the path we tracе over and over again
Like some kind of joke

I cannot give up yet, I cannot give up yet
I’ve traveled so far from my home town
And surrounded by all the people making me think I was clever
But I can only wonder, now that I have been cursed, what lies ahead?

I ran fast 'til I fell
Guarding all the wounds I’ve been dealt
The world has lied in wait for a time like now
Ah, soon we’ll be reclaiming the future
They punish the imperfect ways which we follow the rules
I’ve got to find a way to get them hearing me shouting out

Ah, watch the devil puppetry parading at night
Ah, even if they’re in hell without the magic to fight
Heaven, death is beckoned, life is threatened

Don’t you ever give up on living
Keep your weakened voice ever shining
What’s the mask I’m supposed to show? ‘Cause I don’t know
But just for now, can you tell me the truth?

Present 5 virtues, and bear 5 virtues
A let your voices be woven together soon
Changing pace, along the path we trace, that’s always turning around
I’m reaching out with my hand

Continue to pursue, continue to pursue
I wanna be stronger than anyone, run along whatever path it is my destiny will follow
I’m sinking down into the dark of the night
Like I just might drown

Do I look all bent out of shape?
‘Cause it’s all I am within this shroud
A corpse with nothing left that cannot be tamed
You can go ahead and laugh now
Now that I’ve stopped running away
From everything lying before me
Repeating all of these images in my mind
And going beyond my dreams!
So banish the darkness, so banish the darkness
The fall of the veil of night is the cue for us
Face to face along the path we trace over and over again
Like some kind of joke

I cannot give up yet, I cannot give up yet
I’ve traveled so far from my home town
And surrounded by all the people making me think I was clever
But I can only wonder, now that I have been cursed, what lies ahead?

I ran fast 'til I fell
Guarding all the wounds I’ve been dealt
The world has lied in wait for a time like now
