Mandatory Pilgrim

Mandatory Pilgrim Lyrics

Study scriptures frantically
Inhaling knowledge like the air your breathe
Forced to reach enlightenment
Beyond the kind that most of us will never see
Starting with a mind as white as snow
Getting stained by the things dictated to know
Get rich or try dying
As we are expected
Do we really have a voice
Do we really have a choice
No
Read about the outside world
Imagine how these stories unfold
I know too much now
So I must go
Put everything in the hands
Of something I don't know
Will it lead me to eternity
Or take me to a new low
Do they really hear our voice
Are we ever left a choice
As I whisper and cast a pitying smile
Sitting on the sideline
And watch these humans for a while
Subjected to reality so bleak
Mindless following
Is only for the weak
Unprecedented arrogance
Oblivious to consequence
I have seen how self-destruction
Has caused numerous kingdoms to fall
Spiritual indifference
Try to find deliverance
I will fight the way
In which you made me
Until the light takes me
Until the light takes me
Put everything in the hands
Of something I don't know
Will it lead me to eternity
Or take me to a new low
A journey through this forceful world
We are the pilgrims, the mandatory pilgrims
