Design Your Universe (”A New Age Dawns - Part VI”)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
We're blind and eager
Avarice will set us back to blank
Those who wager all will have to name a reason

If you can't let go, you will end up empty handed
If you can't control, you'll live your life in vain

[Mark Jansen]
Who decides about my time to come?
Who is able to break through the circle of life and doom?

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Jansen]
Don't look back
Keep on track to break the curse
Take the chance
Design your universe

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
We can't undo what we have done
So show us now what we've become
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness

We can't evade our destiny
So show responsibility
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness

[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
To take for taking's sake
Will leave a path of loss and strain
And endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason

If you can't let go, you will end up empty handed
If you can't control, you'll live your life in vain

[Mark Jansen]
Who decides about what's true or false?
Who is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes?

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Jansen]
Don't look back
Keep on track to break the curse
Take the chance
Design your universe

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
We can't undo what we have done
So show us now what we've become
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness

We can't evade our destiny
So show responsibility
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness

[Verse 3: Simone Simons]
The time has come, we have to see
That total wisdom is in reach
The time has come to color in the lines
We must identify the signs

[Bridge: Mark Jansen]
So many people are full of hate
While love and light are in their reach
So many people will harm themselves
But life can be so beautiful

So many people will idolize
While their own success is in their reach
Don't forget you're able to
Design your own universe

Find your balance, sink into rumination

Ipsum te reperies
Potire mundorum
Potire omnis mundi

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
We can't undo what we have done
So show us now what we've become
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness

We can't evade our destiny
So show responsibility
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness

[Outro: Simone Simons]
We can't undo...
Show us now...
Confront us with our weakness...
Can't evade...
Show us how...
We have a sense...
