Within Lyrics


Turn inward and you shall find

The nature of man, enemy of every man

Competition, diffidence and glory

Cause our natural state of conflict

A state of civil war

Which leads us to fear

Fear because of desire

Desire because of fear

Born equal and free

We are equally prone to violent death

And freely capable of infliction

To live devoid of law or scripture

Is to experience the human condition

In no way should we attempt to escape

This natural state, we must embrace it

Learn from below, you will ascend

The return, though unwanted at first

Offers rewards to those who descend

Resist the sword, resist the sacred staff

Give up liberty

For security

Discards essence

Neither good nor evil, but absolute

So turn inward, find your nature, and live a life free

Cultivate the freedom and master its essence

Cultivate and master the essence within

Within we dream of flying

Within we dream of....

Falling

We self inflict our limitations

Raving, in pacifism

Prior to seeking beyond

We must look within
