What

What is the meaning behind these words
What is the lesson that we must learn
What flame was burning that ancient land
What force was driving the writer's hand

[chorus:]
As he drained his heart of fluid and he poured it on the page
Covering the paper with the symbols of his age
Analyzing secrets he'd kept hidden since his youth
Trying to decipher what he felt to be the truth

What is the reason that we must live
If what's been written belongs to him
What binds the body can't find the soul
What are the chances we'll ever know

[chorus]
