Album: Sojourns Lucid Magic (2002)

Mantis Preying


I come to you
I seek to find
What's the meaning of it all

I've travelled far
Through time, past stars
From eons past I heard you call

Birds of night in full flight, no time to cry out
Flash of light in the sky, see the phoenix fly
In God's name, we kill and maim those who are not the same
Liquid flames, reapers rain, falling from the sky

Tell me why, what's the reason for the sun
It still shines, even if the world is gone
Tell me why, what's the reason for the sun
It still shines, even if the world is gone

You come to me
Expect to see
Answers to all that you ask

It's not so plain
You ask in vain
Existence is its own reward

Birds of night in full flight, no time to cry out
Flash of light in the sky, see the phoenix fly
In God's name, we kill and maim those who are not the same
Liquid flames, reapers rain, falling from the sky

Tell me why, what's the reason for the sun
It still burns bright, even if the world is gone
Tell me why, what's the reason for the sun
It still burns bright, even if the world is gone

Don't ask why, what's the reason for the sun
It still shines bright, even if the world is gone
So don't ask why, what's the reason for the sun
It still burns bright, even if the world is gone
