Flight - A Leap Through Matter lyrics



Tracks



02. One With The Sun

Music & lyrics by Christoffer Bråthen
Seeing creation of life unfold in all its forms
Feeling emotions inherited from the first dawn
Earth, sea and tree, I see you see me

Watch the distance and feel the frictions between
Imagination and all that is not what it seems
Sharp memories grow - The vibrations flow

You turn every stone, seek a place to call "Home"
But you're not alone, you are One with the Sun

Alienation brought forth the frustration from the heart
To show us that all is determined right from the start
Aim and ignite, you are the light
You keep on shining

So as time goes on the horizon hides the known
But as a witness of time you are One with the Sun

03. The Pendulum

Music & lyrics by Christoffer Bråthen
Being in Time inside a Space of Mind
Thrown into Being, just to escape the Nothing
Moving along to Authenticity's song

Time is the trace of life, and within lies the Way
So follow the Swing of the Pendulum - Swing of the Pendulum
Infinite Swing of the Pendulum - Swing of the Pendulum

Dwelling in time, watching the world unwind
Nothing exists inside the timeless bliss
The Truth is to seek, and not a goal to reach
Meet the end - start again
May the Struggle be your friend

04. A Leap Through Matter

Music & lyrics by Jonas Bye
Gliding the moonlit dunes, trailing the wind-path
Rhythms of natural order deceives the desert-wrath
Drifting for a crevice to avert the beams of dawn
Through the maze of unmasked silence my subconscious is drawn

I see the dance of subatoms, the quintessensial seeds
A passage revealed - A leap through matter

Inward the cavernous depths to imbibe the makers water
And gain aeonish consciousness - When time becomes space
As the liquid revelation takes hold I'm emancipated of my carnal self
Enlightened by the uknown, my atoms breath of universal truthsense

Vision within vision, to live and explore a thousand deaths
A passage revealed - A leap through matter

05. Ride On

Music & lyrics by Jonas Bye
Ride on - Down the city streets, red lights flicker
Tires burning with red heat, still going faster
Accelerate - A rush, rush of power, downtown cruiser
Burning fury of the midnight hour, gonna let it loose!

Ride on - A storm of adrenaline
Speeding lightning of unstoppable force
Ride on - Revving up the engine
Thundering power of an iron horse

My way - Speeding though the night, blazing gasoline
Highway rider in the city light, leaving the scene
Booze fueled fury, no control, a rush of adrenaline high
Feel it down you body and soul, we're gonna let it loose tonight!

A flash of steel at the speed of sound
On a frenzy, on a run, you know I wont hang around
Like a madman I'll cut you off, you won't get a hold of me
Left in a trail of dust and I ride on, I'm free!

06. The Traveler

Music by Christoffer Bråthen & Jonas Bye
Lyrics by Jonas Bye
He's a wandrer of time and space, as he travels the solar paths
Through astral dust, he holds the quest true, The grip of the universe in hand
Rapid speed, traverse the web, catapulting around neutron stars
He glides through nebulas unknown, fusing star dust in his wake

A transcendent rider from afar - Pulsate matter to form stars
Through black holes new passages emerge - Traveler of the multiverse

Cygnus guides his course, to be absorbed by stellar mass
Beyond the event horizon he goes, to journey the obscure

Riding on waves of steller wind, into the unknown his form trandecend
The cellestial body warping time and space, Eta cygni's long lost friend

07. Reviving Waves

Music & lyrics by Christoffer Bråthen
This is the day just as it was a few years ago, when joy betrayed as company
Luckily our destiny has so much more to share, behold the blooming, young and free

What lies ahead of us in time? The first dawn and beyond
Trails of history gives a sign, long lost in memories to come

The hidden vault inside our hearts must come to show the way
A golden treasure depicts the world
Come now together or be forever lost in the universe, distant in each and every way

08. Leave The Coast

Music & lyrics by Christoffer Bråthen
Waking up to battles beyond your control, thinking this day you won't last
Good and evil tears your head apart, like a strike from the past
Forcing yourself to find a reason for today and every day that is to come
From now on death itself has taken its toll, it's your choice to do it your way

Taking the risk, set out from the shore
Leave the coast
The heart has its will, and peace lies therein
Leave the coast

Into red sunlight when dawn has come, preparation ain't your way
Just leave when you can, follow the waves as the darkness colour the day
On the open sea there are battles too, but not like the ones at home
Out here you can surrender and just be yourself, sailing and be free from time

See the shape of the Earth as a distant field
By the waters touch you know that you feel
Magical rising waves bring you to your knees
By everything blue, you know it is real
