[Verse 1] You must have chaos within you... to give birth to a dancing star. I looked... and I looked... until my vision swam. The abyss... it gazes also into you. And in the silence... I heard the hum... The dreadful... glorious... hum. [Chorus] **And the noise collapsed into a single line!** **A terrible and perfect design!** **"Man is condemned to be free."** **Condemned... to be...** **I saw the crack in everything divine...** **And for a second... it was mine!** [Verse 2] There are no stars above. Only the traps... God has set for us. Existence precedes essence. There is no blueprint, no design. We are alone, with no excuse. No one else to blame for this... this awful, empty light. [Chorus] **And the noise collapsed into a single line!** **A terrible and perfect design!** **"Man is condemned to be free."** **Condemned... to be...** **I saw the crack in everything divine...** **And for a second... it was mine!** [Bridge] I thought I wanted truth. I thought I wanted sight. I didn't know it would be this... this endless, weightless night. This freedom... that feels like a fall. With no ground... to catch me at all. [Guitar Solo / Outro] ...it was mine.
