Lyrics
[Cosmic Journey]
[Intro]
Of all the sins I could afford
I chose self-indulgence, so bold !
The only one I could easily accomplish
On a daily basis until I would perish.
For there is no way I could beg to differ
If anything meddle in my singular affair
[Verse 1]
To be myself not anybody else
Is a constrain I can’t explain
Whenever It’ll cause much pain
Working against me nonetheless
[Chorus]
Diligency, indulgency, meritocracy, idiocy
Won’t make a difference in Cosmic story
There is no way in this will, just a flare
About me Infinity doesn’t care
There is no way in any will, just flares
About us Sempiternity will inflict scars
[Verse 2]
But I know what doesn’t matter
My life, a drop of oil, does matter
In a dry gear, as much as yours !
Not a big show of superpower,
A modest involuntary participation
In the infinite Cosmos, as a contribution
[Chorus]
Diligency, indulgency, meritocracy, idiocy
Won’t make a difference in Cosmic story
There is no way in this will, just a flare
About me Infinity really doesn’t care
There is no way in any will, just flares
About us Sempiternity will inflict scars
[Bridge]
I am a stardust bearth-born on earth
What is it in me that chose my birth?
I am a guest to the Cosmical Banquet
Pocket, wallet, mallet, stinging hornet
Whatever I’ve got now, surely for the best
Seems, I have a soul, but always forget
[repeat from Intro]
Of all the sins I could afford
I chose self-indulgence, so bold !
The only one I could easily accomplish
On a daily basis until I would perish.
For there is no way I could beg to differ
If anything meddle in my singular affair
[Final chorus]
Incarnated with the bliss of ignoring how,
As long as it’ll take I’ve no choice to allow !
Wont complain about light and joy,
Though I like being a life passenger,
Reckless wanderer, drifter or freebooter,
Changing my reality over one singularity,
But I can’t do it alive, nor than anybody.
In the fabric of time and space,
Weaving my nest on my pace,
Experiencing treackery and vain illusions,
My soul has to be in my body, in fusion.
I long for a full illumination and salvation.
Why me amongst all, when I can’t accept it,
To be ascended without all humanity, not fit !
What’s the point of such great unfairness,
Carrying the eternal burden of selfishness
What I don’t know I will learn in life
For my soul draws its experience in it
It c’an’t do it without a body
I can’t do it without a soul
[Outro]
To be myself with eveybody else
Is a chance I can’t explain
Whenever It’ll cause gain
Working with me nonetheless
