lyrics

Despite the things that he foretold
The seer of fortune could not
Forsee his own demise
A victim of the forces he invited

To take up in himself
That would reveal the secret
Workings of the world
Of which we only sense with Five

From his window day and night
Watching closely as the Sun
Runs from the stars
Outnumbered trillions to one

Out of seven billion
Only he believed the
Prophecies he saw, the rest
Perceived as nothing but a fraud


With each prediction he called right
Every vision proved his sight
More and more, the clueless flocked to
Ask him for advice

He at first obliged
But slowly he began to find
Time and time again
Answering the same old questions

Gathering his strength
He gazed as far as he had
Ever gone before
Piercing through the wall he saw

Nothing at all
All paths converged to naught
Darkness consumed his thoughts
Overcome by knowledge that he sought


Realizing the human insignificance
He couldn't justify his own existence
Burdened by the gift and curse of clairvoyance
Reluctant to accept
He cried out!

Take me!
Take me to a place
I can be free
Free from abusurdity

Raise me!
Raise me to a state
Where I can leave behind the lies
The belief that there's more to life


Finally he found his peace
Enlightened lifted to his feet
No longer did he need to see
The future to be sure

Just as though he were reborn
No more disturbed by what he saw
He failed to notice there a rock
On which he tripped and all went dark
