"The Walk" lyrics - PERIPHERY

PERIPHERY
"The Walk"
(Chris Barretto / Periphery)

Reach into the void
Touch the heart of darkness
Reach for the light
Feel the hand of God

The uncertainty of my existence
Can be decided by choice of a path I must walk
So, sick monotone culprit
Come on down and we'll talk about it

[Chorus 1:]
Bow down to the gods
Or keep on walking further
On the cusp of our enlightenment we march

With the sun at my back
I take my first steps outside shading my thoughts
And my perceptions
Done from the truth I'll never run
Be it the light or the shadow
I walk in hand with all

Born of nothing
My thoughts are unconditional
And I despise the facade of the original martyr
Deep within the void

Higher
Searching for the light
I leave this world behind

The violent twisting of the fates
The imminent collapse of our current state

Separate the vacant space
From the condensed bodies without trace
These carbon units can't see what is beyond the sense of taste
The fate of souls of those who deserve the higher being
Ready the way for the day of a golden age

Born of nothing
My thoughts are unconditional
And I despise the facade of the original martyr
Deep within the void

Higher
Searching for the light
I leave this world behind

[Chorus:]
Bow down to the gods
Or keep on walking further
On the cusp of our enlightenment we march
