A new age of reason
Brain treason to trick the mind
What good is searching
If nothing's there to find
We arrive at this place
Of no return my brothers
Only to discover that our minds have led us away
So far from the painful truth
Of who we are
What's right is wrong
What's come has gone
What's clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie
All that's benign corrupts in time
The fallacy
Of Epiphany
Come forth bear witness
See the profit from your loss
Beg for forgiveness
Only after you tally the cost
We arrive at this place
Of no return my sisters
Only to discover that our values ran us aground
On the shoal in the sea of what
We could be
What's right is wrong
What's come has gone
What's clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie
All that's benign corrupts in time
The fallacy
Of Epiphany
If it's real for me do I have to prove it to you
Why do revelations fade to cold blue untruths
It's oh so relative
Subservient in total to one's perspective
What's right is wrong
What's come has gone
What's clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie
All that's benign corrupts in time
The fallacy

As time goes by I have changed my mind about the meaning of this song.
I think the lyric line to remember is "The Fallacy of Epiphany" That'll be our guideline. He talks about how we human beings have often guided ourselves along the lines of epiphanies or as soowt put it "the sudden supposed realization or understanding of something, often religious," which in turn have lead us astray from "the painful truth of who we are". Now how does Mr. Graffin comes to this realization? Through an epiphany. This lyric line "It came to me" illuminates his own epiphany. So in other words he saw the fallacy of epiphanies through an epiphany. So according to his logic his epiphany will "fade to cold blue untruths" just like the others that came before his. Haha, leaves the listener in quite a mental quagmire. I guess the absolute truth is that there is no absolute truth.
