A New Dawn

We are men of a thousand faces
 Of the motionless mask
 Underneath which a battle is raging
 And danger lies in losing grasp
 We must burn our boats; to leave behind
 The shores of our damnable past
 As we take a deep breath; through the fog
 That used to suffocate
 What's done is done; the dice were cast
 And the only path before us lies
 Striding towards the riches of a new dawn
 But before we can relinquish
 The strangleholds of the past
 We must one last time revisit
 Those depths, where we hardly dare go
 Enter the mind!
 A bottomless pit of inspiration
 A bottomless pit of sorrow as well
 One must watch his steps
 Not to fall in self-deception
 (Where) we once gave in
 To endless waves of melancholy
 The weight of the world
 And the torment of troubled souls
 There is no turning back now; to what once was
 As hardship transformed; the path has been forged
 Pain led to knowledge and insight
 So revel while you can; in the dusk of the past
 As a new dawn; grand; rejuvenous
 Emerges through our hands
 Revel ye pity humans; in the dusk of the past
 As a new dawn emerges; emerges
 Through our hands
 Therein lies hope; therein lies strength
 Built on the ashes of the old world
 Therein lies life; therein lies meaning; therein lies strength
 As the sun of a new dawn engulfs the skies
