Trapped inside a dream,

or in a dream within a dream,

In the gloom we divine a gleam,

whoever strives with mind we can redeem.

Who strives ... with mind ... we can redeem!

It’s undemanding to behold a light in darkness,

It’s so much brighter when you‘ve never seen the light.

A single blaze can torch the edge of your awareness

when your perception‘s only shadows on the wall.

It‘s more apparent when there is time to move on

If you‘ve been captive behind your eyes for too long.

Apathetic pain,

resistant to that hostile strain!

To break the silence of this cold disdain,

whoever strives with mind we shall unchain.

Who strives ... with mind... we shall unchain!

It’s undemanding to behold a light in darkness,

It’s so much brighter when you‘ve never seen the light.

A single blaze can torch the edge of your awareness

when your perception’s only shadows on the wall.

It‘s more apparent when there is time to move on

If you‘ve been captive behind your eyes for too long.

Shimmering reflecting lights

strain the sinews of resistance

Conceive the fire in the skies

that is flaring in the distance

Take the chance to burn your eyes;

as they are turned towards existence.

Who strives ... with mind ... will rise again!

It’s undemanding to behold a light in darkness,

It’s so much brighter when you‘ve never seen the light.

A single blaze can torch the edge of your awareness

when your perception’s only echo from the wall.

It‘s more apparent when there is time to move on

If you‘ve been captive behind your eyes for too long.
