The Endless Knot

We dream of places we can't get to
 We crawl, we swim, it's never ending
 The crests of tidal waves are raging
 The bitter lake is ever changing
 A conscious ocean covered planet
 Of memories flooding back to drown me
 Uncertain lost in deep confusion
 Is this the past that's passing through me?
 Close your eyes, stand your ground
 Face the wind, never looking back
 The ancient proficy unfolded
 Distracted minds ignored the warnings
 Confronting facts to prove the fiction
 Right to the point of mass extinction
 We flirted with the edge of darkness
 Offered ourselves unto the harvest
 The shepherd led, we blindly followed
 Into the world of no tomorrow
 Break me down to pieces
 And strip me of my freedom
 I fall back on my instincts
 But never know the reason why
 All hope disappearing
 Gives the power of healing
 I'll walk among the breathing
 But never understand what it means
 We need a story to believe in
 We need a hero to prevail
 Our design shifted frame by frame
 Across the line our cycle starts to fail
 Our design shifted frame by frame
 Across the line we die to live again
 ♪
 We need a story to believe in
 We need a hero to prevail
 We need a challenge we can overcome
 It takes a tragedy to make us one
