Portrait Of An Attempted Escape Lyrics

A cold caress awakens me

An omen of nightmares to come

Illumination and darkening amalgamate

Blinded, I resign

Imprisoned behind imperceptible bars

I am in a daze

I reach out for the outside world

But it escapes my embrace

We are all caught in a web of meanings

A web that we have spun ourselves

Humanity walled up in this prison of it's own

We strive to read the book of nature

But it's our own story that we tell

Oh, please let this nightmare stop!

I shiver as I suddenly comprehend

The nature of my beliefs

Illusions invoked by tradition

Deception descended on mankind

Imprisoned behind invisible walls

This I cannot face

I reach out for the outside world

But it escapes my embrace
