lyrics

Follow me close on paths forgotten
Shadow my steps on trails long-trodden
Where are we going?

Deep in the psyche of rational thought
Let it remind me of what it has wrought
Why wont you free me?

What is it worth? (Enlighten me)
What is the cost? (Diminish Me)
Where are we going?

When does it end? (a harbinger sent)
My sanity rend (a harbinger lost)
We are back at the start



At the beginning, it was all so clear, every piece seamlessly fell into place
Now that I draw close to the end, my breath is weary, I am tired

What have I to reflect on, what have I to leave behind,
What wisdom shall I adorn my kin with aside from the truth
There is no room in this world for empathy, there is no time in this realm for peace

Defy this, my friend and you'll die alone

Follow me close on paths forgotten
Shadow my steps on trails long-trodden
Where are we going?

Deep in the psyche of rational thought
Let it remind me of what it has wrought
Why wont you free me?

What is it worth? (Enlighten me)
What is the cost? (Diminish Me)
Where are we going?

When does it end? (a harbinger sent)
My sanity rend (a harbinger lost)
We are back at the start

Lead us there, send us back, where have we gone, lost our way home
Venom you drink, sever the link, before all burns our diminishing returns

In pursuit of diminishing returns
Forever chasing that what holds us back

In pursuit of diminishing returns
Forever chasing that what holds us back
