An endless path of thorns,
has anyone ever walked it?
Come, as we go,
the road stretches on.
The answer you seek
is far away.
Who has ever found it till now?
Has anyone ever conquered it?
Come, just like
searching for water,
deep into the water,
it goes searching on and on.
"Is this really me?"
I ask my shadow.
In this wind of illusions,
I open a new doorway.
Journeys will bring you to me.
Come flying,
now is the moment.
Searching for thousands
upon thousands of desires,
you will swing like a pendulum
as time slips away on its own.
Wait, I will unveil
the mask.
I will bring to an end
this screenplay.
Seeking the end,
to cast away the darkness,
come face to face...
Come join me,
shrouded in darkness,
to search for the mystery,
so that all illusions fade,
you too, come along.
Come, oh come!
An endless path of thorns,
has anyone ever walked it?
Come, as we go,
the road stretches on.
The answer you seek
is far away.
Who has ever found it till now?
Has anyone ever conquered it?
Come, just like
searching for water,
deep into the water,
it goes searching on and on.
"Is this really me?"
I ask my shadow.
In this wind of illusions,
I open a new doorway.
Where will journeys lead me?
Come flying,
now is the moment.
Searching for thousands
upon thousands of desires,
you will swing like a pendulum
as time slips away on its own.
