Patterns
Iommi feat. Serj Tankian Lyrics

Life is a story
Life can be seen as a narrative with a beginning, middle and end.

Go ahead and find your sight
Take control of your life by finding your own way forward.

Life is your glory
Life is a valuable and cherished thing to be proud of.

Go ahead and live the night
Take advantage of the time given and make the most of the day.

But to live means to be here
To truly live life means to be present and mindful in the current moment.

In the present now
To exist and be aware in the current moment, without dwelling on the past or anticipating the future.

Do try to bow for the gift of your day
Express gratitude for the gift of time and life that has been given to you.

Then you cede to the morning sun
Acknowledging the passage of time and the start of a new day.

Pretending that we live doesn´t make us alive
Merely existing or going through the motions of life isn't enough; one must truly live to feel alive.

Pretending that we see doesn´t give us the sight
Merely seeing without truly observing, understanding and internalizing what one has seen is inadequate to gain insight or enlightenment.

What is it that makes us lose sight
What causes us to lose insight or perspective on our own experiences or surroundings?

True sight, of what is real and essential
Gaining true insight or enlightenment about what is important and essential in life.

I´ll take organized patterns of chaos
Finding beauty or sense in the seemingly chaotic or difficult patterns that surround us.

Over the chaotic organizations of man, any day
Preferring the natural order of things over the often-chaotic systems and organizations created by humans.
