and not by what they see

and not by what they see a song by Owl's Head Mountain on Soniditos

the five colors blind the eye by Owl's Head Mountain ,
the five tones deafen the ear by Owl's Head Mountain ,
the five flavors dull the taste by Owl's Head Mountain ,
racing and hunting madden the mind by Owl's Head Mountain ,
precious things lead one astray by Owl's Head Mountain ,
therefore the sage is guided by Owl's Head Mountain ,
by what they feel by Owl's Head Mountain ,
and not by what they see by Owl's Head Mountain ,
they let go of that by Owl's Head Mountain ,
and choose this by Owl's Head Mountain ,
