[00:05.09] i. Paradoxe de la Lumière Noire
[01:18.06] ii. Live, Die, Kill
[03:56.35] Consider this question
[03:58.02] Look deep inside
[04:00.15] Deliver a true confession
[04:02.05] What are you willing to live for
[04:05.46] Consider this question
[04:06.77] Open your eyes
[04:08.46] Examine your own reflection
[04:10.45] What are you willing to die for
[04:13.16] When your back's against the wall
[04:16.75] And your time's uncertain
[04:20.42] Consider this question
[04:22.32] No standing by
[04:24.26] When flesh and blood are threatened
[04:26.22] What are you willing to kill for
[04:29.35] We seek
[04:32.73] To understand
[04:35.62] We cry
[04:39.19] With head in hand
[04:57.39] The bridges we build to connect
[05:00.97] The distance that makes us forget
[05:05.47] Hate dividing us
[05:07.56] Love reminding us of our shared humanity
[05:12.69] Hope can be a shadow fleeting
[05:16.70] I would rather die believing
[05:20.09] Chancing it all in a final act of faith
[05:29.91] We seek
[05:33.32] To understand
[05:37.85] We cry
[05:41.59] With head in hand
[05:45.88] A story that needs to be told
[05:48.37] An answer that begs to be found
[05:52.69] The beauty we wish to behold
[05:56.83] Is never too far away
[06:01.25] iii. The Embracing Circle
[07:12.48] iv. The Pursuit of Truth
[11:23.76] Mothers for their children
[11:27.31] Husbands for their wives
[11:30.23] Martyrs for the kingdom
[11:33.87] Fighting for your life
[11:37.02] A soldier for his country
[11:41.44] A junkie for the high
[11:44.51] Teachers for their students
[11:47.48] Vengeance for a crime
[11:51.26] Rebels for their freedom
[11:54.57] A tyrant for the praise
[11:58.13] Cowards for salvation
[12:01.64] Money, love and fame
[12:05.72] Noble and brave
[12:07.22] We lay down our lives for the cause
[12:11.93] Death over shame
[12:14.70] Grace before glory
[15:17.85] v. Surrender, Trust & Passion
[15:52.50] To really feel the joy in life
[15:59.07] You must suffer through the pain
[16:07.65] When you surrender to the light
[16:15.54] You can face the darkest days
[16:23.12] If you open up your eyes
[16:30.28] And you put your trust in love
[16:39.38] On thoes cold and endless nights
[16:46.07] You will never be alone
[16:54.25] Passion glows within your heart
[17:01.53] Like a furnace burning bright
[17:09.34] Until you struggle through the dark
[17:16.88] You'll never know that you're alive
[00:05.09] i. Paradoxe de la Lumie re Noire
