[Intro]
Dm Bb F C A Dm F
[Verse]
The sDmcientist purported that there aFin't no purpose
And tDmhe theologian told me that it's Fall been designed
And Im tCrying to maintain objeDmctivity
The woDmrld wont illuminate what Freally matters
And IDmm an imperfect moral meanFing extractor
PCrocessing the coDmmplexity
[Chorus]
Born of the eaDmrth (are we blind?)
We weren't given a Bmchoice (there's no way)
What about free wFill? (what we have)
Do we have a voCice? (is shattered faith)
See them run in Dmplace (here and now)
In the human rat Bmrace (no reward)
So much dead weiFght (no debate) to our disgrCace (accept your fate)
LAife begins when you accept your fate
( Dm   F   Dm  F) 
[Verse]
PaDmralysis from forces raging oFut of control until
My Dmconfidence and will are at an aFll-time low
JCust directionless wandering
EtDmernal life, eternal truth, eteFrnal secrets
IsDmolated hopes and hypFotheses just
LCeave me feeling so hungry
[Chorus]
Born of the eaDmrth (are we blind?)
We weren't given a Bmchoice (there's no way)
What about free wFill? (what we have)
Do we have a voCice? (is shattered faith)
See them run in Dmplace (here and now)
In the human rat Bmrace (no reward)
So much dead weiFght (no debate) to our disgrCace (accept your fate)
LAife begins when you accept your fate
Dm
[Verse]
DmRight or wrong,
The main crFiterion is what you Dmdo and not what you sFay
The rDmoads you take, the frFiends you make and Dmthose you throw aFway
The mDmethod is a simple syntFhesis of the pDmast and present sFtate
You nDmever lose if the paFth you choose is oDmne you can eaFsily navAigate
[Chorus]
I had a dDmream, light and caBbrefree
But now there's doFubt and graCvity
But I wont run in pDmlace (are we blind? )
In the human rat raBbce (there's no way)
I can set the pFace (what we have) 
And accept my fCate (is shattered faith)
Shattered fDmaith (here and now)
Shattered fBbaith (no reward)
The part of Fme (no debate)
I can't erCase (accept your fate)
[Outro]
Dm Bb F C

[Intro]

Dm Bb F C A Dm F

[Verse]

Dm F

The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose

Dm F

And the theologian told me that it's all been designed

C Dm

And Im trying to maintain objectivity

Dm F

The world wont illuminate what really matters

Dm F

And Im an imperfect moral meaning extractor

C Dm

Processing the complexity

[Chorus]

Born of the earth (are we blind?)

We weren't given a choice (there's no way)

What about free will? (what we have)

Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)

See them run in place (here and now)

In the human rat race (no reward)

F C

So much dead weight (no debate) to our disgrace (accept your fate)

Life begins when you accept your fate

Dm F Dm F

( )

[Verse]

Dm F

Paralysis from forces raging out of control until

Dm F

My confidence and will are at an all-time low

Just directionless wandering

Dm F

Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets

Dm F

Isolated hopes and hypotheses just

Leave me feeling so hungry

[Chorus]

Born of the earth (are we blind?)

We weren't given a choice (there's no way)

What about free will? (what we have)

Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)

See them run in place (here and now)

In the human rat race (no reward)

F C

So much dead weight (no debate) to our disgrace (accept your fate)

Life begins when you accept your fate

[Verse]

Right or wrong,

F Dm F

The main criterion is what you do and not what you say

Dm F Dm F

The roads you take, the friends you make and those you throw away

Dm F Dm F

The method is a simple synthesis of the past and present state

Dm F Dm F A

You never lose if the path you choose is one you can easily navigate

[Chorus]

Dm Bb

I had a dream, light and carefree

F C

But now there's doubt and gravity

But I wont run in place (are we blind? )

In the human rat race (there's no way)

I can set the pace (what we have)

And accept my fate (is shattered faith)

Shattered faith (here and now)

Shattered faith (no reward)

The part of me (no debate)

I can't erase (accept your fate)

[Outro]

Dm Bb F C
