Of Vile and Bliss Songtext
von Enigma

Here′s something to keep you awake
Something to ponder
I present this question to you
To think about carefully

Without acknowledgement of the vile
Under what basis does one have to
Compare to bliss?
The same goes the other way

It is inevitable
That you will be wrong in the eyes of others

Forever it seems that
Humanity gets caught up in
Trying to distinguish
Deeds from sin
Yet they fail to realize
That the only thing they have to justify
Their judgment is their biases


For one person, it may be preferable
To spare the lives of others
For their own self-preservation
For another, it may bring satisfaction
To drag others
Down into despair

I'm sorry to break this to you
Horrific and obscene it may seem
I can tell you this
It doesn′t matter anyway

The reality is that we can't truly say
One person or another has the moral compass
Yet the only thing we really have left to guide us is
Our perception synchronized to our flesh and mind

The strive for transcendental meaning breaks
Down when metaphysical ideas conflict
The nonexistence of the metaphysical
Is the reason why it doesn't matter in the end
The universe will still revolve without you
No matter the degree to which you can
Deny this truth
