Portrait of an Attempted Escape |
| 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 its own |
| Portrait of an attempted escape |
| 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 |
