Seekers

It begins with the breaking of silence The doors of perception are flung open wide From the depths to the farthest horizon All men yearn to be enlightened In the beginning there was the word The breaker of bonds and the shaper of worlds And those who wish to learn The language of god must be willing to burn To burn for their convictions, for what they believe Willing to serve and to suffer for the answers they seek But every answer breeds more questions Such is our nature, the human condition Driven by our need to know Now at last the seal has been broken Open the gates For the hour has come to awaken And embrace the age of reason The time has come to cast off the chains Of blind superstition that keep us enslaved To sever the ties, that shackle our minds Removing the scales that have covered our eyes For knowledge can be power, to the one who understands Power that must be earned with the strength of our own hands Searching for a sense of purpose Something to break, the silence inside us Something that will redefine us We are the seekers, the dreamers, heretics and unbelievers all We are the ones who search for answers, we are the ones who seek the truth Prophets and preachers, scholars and teachers, those who serve and those who suffer In the name of something so much greater, will they be remembered? Only time will tell We are the seekers, the dreamers, heretics and unbelievers all We are the ones who search for answers, we are the ones who seek the truth
