(Tenno, focus. Find the power within yourself.)
[Verse 1: nostraightanswer]
I'm waking up
The chaos is reality
And sure enough
I'm unsure if I believe it
I have found
That since the silent second dream faded away
I can't make heads or tails of what you say
[Bridge]
Can you see it?
In my eyes
All the sadness
That you despise
Does it break your heart to think I'm gonna cry?
Does it break your heart to think that I regret to be alive?
[Chorus]
This devotion's
The notion
That sets things in motion
For greatness
For power
For peace in the vast open space
But I feel out of place
Like time is out of phase
All because the void has taken my life away
Centuries ago
My past, can't let go
I have a need to know
So won't you tell me?
[Verse 2]
I'm waking up
And I just can't believe
Everything 'til now
That used to define me
It's all gone
Like history has been erased
Everything I'm fighting for
I'm finding in it's place
[Bridge 2]
You're doing much for me
Giving me the chance to live
I know you don't need
For me to tell you all of this
But something's gone
Something's wrong
I'd give anything to return to then
To a time that's too long gone
[Chorus]
This devotion's
The notion
That sets things in motion
For greatness
For power
For peace in the vast open space
But I feel out of place
Like time is out of phase
All because the void has taken my life away
Centuries ago
My past, can't let go
I have a need to know
So can't you tell me
[Outro]
Anything?
Anything at all?
Anything I was, if you recall?
