Testo All in vain Polaris

All in vain

My heart is testing me
Taking the best of me
Too weak to go on
So take the time you need
Nothing is guaranteed
Even idols may drown

Take back all you've said before
Our lives are not much more than a metaphor

There is a price to pay
All we desire can be taken away
Here we lay down our resolve

A heavy moon surrenders its glow
Illuminating the blood on new-fallen snow
I watched them wait in line
Blank faces frozen in time
Never to thaw, yet they beg for more

I have opened up the veins of the earth
I have drunk from the sky and the sea

Is this all worth dying for?
Our lives are not much more than a metaphor
A fool's pursuit
Burn the roots before the fruit is rotten

Burn the roots

Let us germinate and start anew
If indeed there is more to see
Then let the truth reveal itself to me

I have opened up the veins of the earth
I have drunk from the sky and sea
I have opened up the veins of the earth
And there is nothing there for me

Ever pessimistic
Nihilistic state of mind
Fatally hedonistic
Watch as we slip into decline

Frozen in time
My heart is testing me
Taking the best of me
Too weak to go on
So take the time you need
Nothing is guaranteed
Even idols may drown

We all deserve to be
Held like a memory
But some will never know

Is this all worth dying for?
Our lives are not much more than a metaphor
A fool's pursuit
Burn the roots before the fruit is rotten

Take back all you've said before
Our lives are not much more than a metaphor
A fool's pursuit
Burn the roots before the fruit is rotten

Burn the roots, the fruit is rotten
