The Art Of Life - Queensrÿche

When I asked him

He described a thousand lifetimes

At each turn, a hint of what one still must learn

Now I’ve read the thoughts of philosophers

The words of liars, who say that underneath I’m worthless

Incomplete?

Some one said we live our lives in between the extremes

Is the art of life discipline?

Is that the sweet mystery?

The art of life is …

Without rushing, without faltering we push it as far as we can

Observe with patience

Free your mind

Efficiency, control

To develop the form starts with acceptance

Then submission to the goal

Some one said somewhere we live our lives in between the extremes

Is the art of life discipline?

Is that the sweetest mystery?

The art of life is …

Without rushing, without faltering, unraveling the secrets of knowledge

We must challenge and defeat our four natural enemies;

Fear

Clarity of mind

Power and the desire to rest
