Imago Mortis - Res Cogitans lyrics

rate me

[I. Meditations]<br />

<br />

How can I be sure about the world my eyes are seeing?<br />

Is this all the truth or just some kind of coherent dream?<br />

What if there's a deceiver god who's playing with my head?<br />

How can I be sure if I'm alive or if I'm dead?<br />

<br />

There must be an evil demon that is pleased to hear my cries<br />

Corrupting and seducing me to believe in all it's lies<br />

I shall no more be deceived by what remains impure<br />

I will fight the doubt and in the doubt I will be sure<br />

<br />

[II. The Four Rules]<br />

<br />

1) Evidence:<br />

Only accept the undeniable proof<br />

2) Analysis:<br />

Dissect the fact to find within the truth<br />

3) Synthesis:<br />

Put the pieces together, side by side<br />

4) Remembrance:<br />

Nothing to omit, nothing to hide<br />

<br />

I walk masked<br />

Through the valleys of ignorance mist<br />

I doubt<br />

And that's the only reason why I exist<br />

I walk masked<br />

And face this nasty urge to believe<br />

I doubt<br />

I think, I am, I meditate, I live<br />

<br />

Cogito ergo sum<br />

Cogito ergo sum<br />

(Sum res cogitans)<br />

Cogito ergo sum<br />

Cogito ergo sum<br />

(Sum res cogitans)<br />

<br />

No evil<br />

Shall hide<br />

The Truth<br />

Free Will<br />

Shall be<br />

The only law<br />

I think, <br />

I am, <br />

I have a choice:<br />

I believe! <br />

<br />

Res cogitans<br />

Res cogitans<br />

Res cogitans</
