Liberated - Borknagar

From every human complexity

And nature’s twisted analogy

An urge to explain — to understand

Springs out with the notion to expand

The narrow view of what we are

Could a mathematical formula

Improve our existential stamina

Would explaining our kin universally

Keep up our vital vivacity

Or would it enshroud us in disillusion

The notion of our emancipation

Lies far from any genuine liberation

Seeking a detailed explanation

We think therefore we’re cursed

As questions multiply with every solution

The «why» stands untouchable — no intrusion

A constant flow of total inconstancy

A natural starfelt divinity

Could a mathematical formula

Improve our existential stamina

Would explaining our kin universally

Keep up our vital vivacity

Or would it enshroud us in disillusion

The notion of our emancipation

Lies far from any genuine liberation

Seeking a detailed explanation

We think therefore we’re blessed

A Machiavellian way of thought

In struggle with all that society sought

A full explanation’s the king of our dreams

To know: what’s our role in the scheme of schemes

Where is our place in this order of chaos?

The notion of our emancipation

Lies far from any genuine liberation

Seeking a detailed explanation

We think therefore we are
