NEW MAN OF THE OLD

My mankind is what kind of man
created creature with the ancients secret seed
true origin is a pool of lies
in which I drown - deep down

I’ve learned to live by those who died
born to Earth bearing no reason why
I ask the truth a thousand times
my only answer is "when I die"
life ends in oblivion

(Chorus)
The beautiful bliss - forgetfulness
when my old eyes shut my new ones open
to a world I've forgotten
no more me than the new me
I cannot remember what I'm taught to forget
newly now I ask that same old question
why?

my voice is an echo of my past me
but now they march the earth
bearing banners of misery
saying you better forget
like we want us to
the sins of the past are our secrets of our blood

(Chorus)
The beautiful bliss - forgetfulness
when my old eyes shut my new ones open
to a world I've forgotten
no more me than the new me
I cannot remember what I'm taught to forget
newly now I ask that same old question
why?

run the path I tread
can't speak where I'm going
they'll turn me into the dead
when it's me they're all avoiding
clutched to my heart
is that which they feel
tear me apart
am I real?

(Chorus)
The beautiful bliss - forgetfulness
when my old eyes shut my new ones open
to a world I've forgotten
no more me than the new me
I cannot remember what I'm taught to forget
newly now I ask that same old question
why?
