Had I the Courage (Remastered 2015) Songtext
von Primitive Reason

This mission: your volition
This ambition: your volition
This friction: your volition
Your volition
Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Plumed serpent slithers and slides slow
In this slippery mind this kind I know
And in mine eye I have kind of known, kind of known

Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Too much confusion with this here kind; Too much
Illusion
Too much delusion in this here mind. Why, I know
Illusion; this illusion, disillusion.

Somehow the raindrops always fall in rhythm

Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name


I′d not mind the rain, I
I'd not mind the change
Whatever I′d find strange I'd name
Your volition, your volition, your volition.

This mission: your volition
This ambition: your volition
This friction: your volition
Your volition

And I sit in the rain, and I'm wondering...
And I sit in the rain and I′m wondering
Why the birds don′t sing in this night
Why the kids don't play in this night
Why the sun don′t shine

Had I the choice to call you; I'm wondering...
Would I see you? I′m wondering
Would I peel in the thundering sight?
If I'd feel you wandering.

This rock I stand on rolls
Forever I walk but to where I don′t know,
I don't know why the kid don't play in this night
Why the sun don′t shine for me

Under the night I roam, and stroll
Within the light I′ll roam, it's true


This mission: your volition
This ambition: your volition
This friction: your volition
Your volition

Take these two steps on this beach at sunset
At unease with the rest
And my knees at unrest
And my head at unrest
I don′t care about the best
This duress is a test
I could do with a rest now

Let my mind relax
Let my soul come back
Let me know I passed with the courage

This mission: your volition
This ambition: your volition
This friction: your volition
Your volition

Your volition is the faith that drives me on and on...
