ANATA lyrics : "The Temple / Erratic"

Left by dawn
Determined mind
The final way out

My bridges were burned
One last path to justify life...
To follow this crazy dream


Heading for the woods
To places I had been before

But in my dreams
They were altered
I just had to see

But the deeper I walked
Confusion emerged
Paths unknown?

I was astray

And though it was day

The sun shone no more
But as I despaired
Certain to be lost

I suddenly stood
By a temple


The temple in my dreams
With a thousand steps
My journey was complete

The source of essence
Of which I had been foretold
Climbing up the stairs

Hewn in stone
Stained with generations blood
Thorn, like poison snakes

Entangles me, severs my skin

Helped by the wind

At last at the top
A mysterious sight reaches my eyes
For on the very highest step

A gigantic mirror was placed
Unseen in my dream
I was dismayed


With fear I faced the mirror
And to my great surprise

My reflection...
The image of the devil
And behind...

At the very foot of the stairs
I could see clouds
And heaven from above


Through the mirror
I could see heaven's gate

Forever closed for me
All of a sudden
A stormwind came

And put the mirror in spin

Got hold of the thorn

Of the highest step
I see the mirror stop
Yet the wind blows

My image... I am Messiah
Hanging down the stairs
In the reflection a chasm

And the gate in front of me
Was the back of the gate to hell


I was sure to fall
A question of seconds
But once again

The wind came to my help
And saved me from the flames
But trapped in the grasp of the wind

I was violently thrown
Towards the spinning mirror
And I got caught in the spin
New dimensions I saw
But I never say the mirror again


My last way to redemption
Turned out to be a fatal delusion
I'm condemned
To eternal emptiness

Condemned to play roles
In a thousand worlds
I'm never to be myself again
