Lyrics Act Of Despair - Kayak

Act Of Despair

Confusing the past with the future
Inspired by some magical force
Misusing the words of a stranger
Pretending they’re yours
The Monk
In search of a different treasure
Misguided by places and time
By riddles that ne one can answer
Not knowing they’re mine
With a secret that I couldn’t share
And an army that’s no longer there
Thes writings in code
All the poems I wrote
Were simple an act of despair
These book is a trap of ilussions
Meant to mislead and reveal
Weaving a web of delusion
Round a truth so unreal
Set in an alternate order
Four thousand s in rhyme
Will take you from border to border
On a journey divine
With a sercret that I couldn’t share
And a world that would no longer care
The task I fulfilled
Obeying God’s will
Was simply an act of despair
The work I created will show him the way
The traps that I laid won’t lead him astray
I’ll rest assured when the deed is done
And the mystery’s solved
Yes the mystery’s solved by the chosen one
With a secret that I couldn’t share
And a world that would no longer care
The task I fullfilled
Obeying God’s will
Was simply an act of despair
