Essence of Life Lyrics

Under stars we search the night

Seeking answers in their light

From dust we came to dust return

In nature's flames our spirits burn

Why are we here what is our role?

In this grand and endless scroll?

Creation's tears in every sigh

Echoes of the question: Why?

What's the reason what's the aim

In this fleeting burning flame?

Why the earth the beasts the skies?

In the essence of existence the question lies

Mountains rise and rivers flow

Secrets in their shadows grow

Man and beast in struggle tied

Against nature side by side

Why do we build why do we fall?

In nature's grasp who answers the call?

In joy and pain in every cry

We're haunted by the question: Why?

What's the reason what's the aim

In this fleeting burning flame?

Why the earth the beasts the skies?

In the essence of existence the question lies

In chaos and in stillness found

In the silence in the sound

We seek the answers we scream and fight

In the dark and in the light

We seek the answers we scream and fight

In the dark and in the light

WHY ARE WE HERE? (3x)

In the end we'll never know

Why the tides of time still flow

But in each breath in every scream

We grasp at fragments of the dream

WHY ARE WE HERE? (3x)
