A Party to the Unsound Method Songtext
The blind leads the blind to the edge
I don′t know if I'm animal or a god
But we are both
And in our world of codes
We choose what values we will unhold
We draw the lines between the judge and the judged
When in fact we are both
In a world of degrees where lies vanity?
How ironic it is, this privilege
The blind leading the blind through a field of mines
"In this world there are those who will take your heart
In this world there are those who will take
All that you′ve got
They are the predators
And they must be dealt with on our terms"
"In this world are two:
The quick and the dead"
"We will not lie down
We will not be silent
We will not be party to understanding
We will execute justice with precision"
Perfect
Genuine
Complete
Crystalline
Pure
(Oh so pure)
After so much time, are we any closer?
Can we begin to understand?
Do weeven ask, are we alone in this world?
Don't tell me that we're alone
Don′t tell me we have to figure this out on our own
If we are all guilty of something
We among us is guilty of anything?
To judge is to be god
But to forgot judgement
To accept the unacceptable
No, we carry out our own justice everyday
Free from the opinions of others and even from ourselves
We each act alone in this world, to find the light
Without judgment, without judgment
There are two of you, don′t you see
One that loves and one that kills
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed
By the compassion I feel inside
And sometimes I cannot hide the contempt I feel inside
And so it goes...
And you will find these words meaningless
When you get back to the world
You will burn everything
I don′t know if I'm animal or a god
But we are both
And in our world of codes
We choose what values we will unhold
We draw the lines between the judge and the judged
When in fact we are both
In a world of degrees where lies vanity?
How ironic it is, this privilege
The blind leading the blind through a field of mines
"In this world there are those who will take your heart
In this world there are those who will take
All that you′ve got
They are the predators
And they must be dealt with on our terms"
"In this world are two:
The quick and the dead"
"We will not lie down
We will not be silent
We will not be party to understanding
We will execute justice with precision"
Perfect
Genuine
Complete
Crystalline
Pure
(Oh so pure)
After so much time, are we any closer?

Do weeven ask, are we alone in this world?
Don't tell me that we're alone

And sometimes I cannot hide the contempt I feel inside
And so it goes...
And you will find these words meaningless
When you get back to the world
You will burn everything
