lyrics
Lyrics written by Chris Davis.
*Lyrics: You are one who will understand the wonderful secret, frightful things you will master, why things are and why they continue to be, Meditate on the secrets of the way things are and investigate them at all time, only then, then may you know the secret of the way things are, in this world, Present and potent are these marvelous secrets, terrorized is the holder of why things are and why they continue to be, Reflect on all of the secrets of the way things are and investigate them at all times, only then may you know the secret of the way things are, You are one who must impose discipline on your lips, And your tongue is a double door, when years begin and when eras end, Why it was? And what will become of the sound that is soon to be heard, by the ears of those who will know the truth, Of the secret of the way things are, in this world.
*Synopsis: This song makes reference to and even mentions parts of a very small segment of The Dead Sea Scrolls. The Quarmations were a sect that left sacred writings in a cave near the Dead Sea, which were found in the 1960's I think, I cannot recall exactly right now. But, over time they have been pieced together the best that they can. This segment refers to getting to the meaning of life, as they knew it or thought of it, how the tongue can be a double-door. Meaning that one should think before he/she speaks. Meditating on why things are the way they are brings us understanding and in turn helps us be more patient, empathetic and compassionate. At the end of the bridge before the reprise, there is a hint of themes similiar to the book of Revelations.
