Beyond

Have you let your old emotions go?
Are you as pure and clear as the sky?
Do you realize you won’t recognize
The peace you find when you stop the clash

We are only glances
That’s been blinded
By the glow of bliss

We’re only cries
And desperate lies
And vanity

Do you go beyond
The mere meaning of the words?
Do you see your face
In the reflection of the water?

Do you feel the pain
The growing rage
Do you sense the agony

Of those
Who are in hell with you
So could you die
Breathe one last time

Would you cross the great divide
With the starving ghosts beside
Do you share the misery?

Contradicting stillness
Of those who are in heaven
Do you feel the pain?

We are only glances
That’s been blinded
By the glow of bliss

We’re only cries
And desperate lies
And vanity

Do you go beyond
The mere meaning of the words?
Do you see your face
In the reflection of the water?
Do you have a thousand hands
To hold all existence in your arms?
