| Perennial Quest The journey begins with curiosity And envolves into soul-felt questions On the stones that we walk And choose to make our path Sometimes never knowing Other times knowing too much Filtering out the bad that holds us back... Take hold of what is true to your hunger A hunger that will not go away Plans for tomorrow, they will remain [Chorus:] Won't you join me on the perennial quest Reaching into the dark, retrieving light Search for answers on the perennial quest Where dreams are followed, and time is a test No time for mental crutches The maker has moved on I will take it raw and be on my way Those that stood beside me I'm glad you understand Behind these written words I share the simple plan To hang on to the way that we feel [Solo: Koelble / Solo: Schuldiner] From rivers of sorrow To oceans deep with hope I have travelled them Now, there is no turning back The limit, the sky I ask my questions Why? What today? When tomorrow? Filtering out the bad that holds us back... Take hold of what is true to your hunger A hunger that will not go away Plans for tomorrow, they will remain [Repeat chorus] |
| Symbolic I don't mean to dwell But I can't help myself When I feel the vibe And taste a memory Of a time in life When years seemed to stand still I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories In need of a fix called innocence When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable The open wounds expose the importance of Our innocence A high that can never be bought or sold [Chorus:] Symbolic acts - so vivid Yet at the same time Were invisible [Solo: Schuldiner / Solo: Koelble] Savor what you feel and what you see Things that may not seem important now But may be tomorrow Do you remember when Things seemed so eternal? Heroes were so real... Their magic frozen in time The only way to learn Is be aware and hold on tight I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories In need of a fix called innocence When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable The open wounds expose the importance of Our innocence A high that can never be bought or sold [Repeat chorus] |
