Lyrics Sun Wukong - Means End

Sun Wukong

Where I come from is a place
Of simple creatures, of no consequence
For as long as I can remember
I’ve been obsessed with achieving greatness but to what end?
The notion seemed so deep
Brooding disdain all along in me
That a greater purpose
Lay hidden from view
Searching in vain
To leave this domain
Though there have been many
Whom I could call friend
Roads steep and laced with pain
Have forced every one I’ve ever known
To fall behind
They lied down to rest
While I carried on forward
But I felt no satisfaction
Even though I am the
Great sage equal of heaven
Searching in vain
To leave this domain
I was told that the truth is:
«Only those who risk going too far
Can find out how far one can go.»
Now I’ve crossed the earth;
I’ve reached the end
And offered my soul
What can one do to savor life
When everything is rushing so fast
All alone, slave of time
I know there is no turning back
The purple dusk reveals a new road
Reaching out to the stars
To end is to begin anew
The colors have changed to a darker hue
I have now finally awakened to
Emptiness
