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
