Quid Est Veritas? Lyrics

What is truth

If not but a beast

Roaring and gnashing its fangs

Threatening to escape the prison I built around it

Eyes gleaming with unearthly fire

Red and glazed

A mouth dripping with my doubt and fear

I lock it from the light of day

But it waits

Lurking beneath the surface

Eyes turned upwards in hysteric fugue

And solitude

It is just who I am

So much a part of me as my breath

By only inheriting shadow can I walk in the light

I will not break the cage from the hinges

I'll keep it inside

With determination

And before all nations

A beast I am

Lest a beast I become

My reflection of divine ferocity

Quid est veritas

I choke on the ashes, a fire is inside

I choke on the ashes, a fire is inside

I choke on the ashes, a fire is inside

I choke on the ashes, a fire is inside
