[Instrumental]

This is how, when and why you've become a static minion.
Shredded man.

Always bowing down.
Staying still.
Voiceless sound.
So hollow you are.

Now you've held the mirror close enough to hide your halo
And ask:

Have you wondered why
Few assert
Dominance
Over many and the One?

Tied, I am the cage.
I am the star born, enchained.
One, one with the Nine.
Barely lucid, confined still.

Nothing more than a name. Disposable, sleeping warrior.
Reveille. This is you waking up.

Helpless son.
Shine now as you once did before.

Tied, I am the cage.
I am the star born, enchained.
One, one with the Nine.
Barely lucid, confined still.

Survive, endure.
Patience, I'm near

So long in the obscure, wading through giant deities. Choosing sides.
Intuition buried by 'Gods' - the silent rulers. They are the mad ones.
Oh what a mock-up.
I am here.

I am the first origin, shattering the veil.
To be immersed in the All is such a virtue.
Neither one, neither man nor God.

Seven angels on my back whispered secrets of the
Six-tusked white beast in the shrine where I
Manifest the true state of no mind.

I am the last sovereign brother of Dhyana.
This is my calm. I renounce pleasures of the material.
So you are as I, oh so surely shapeless warrior.
Messiah of the Still.

May all my light devour this mirage.
I'm nothing but the All.

Yearn.
Learn.

Creator, I'm no more.
The giant descends.
Reversing my I
To conjure the Whole.

I sink into You
And separate the One.

You're stealing my sight
To shape the Sun.
Surrounded by shadows,
I dive into the All.

Desolation covering my I.
Severing the serpent - for Now.
I know that you're around.
Spectating my voyage
Into the ground.

Slowly swerving.
Shredding skies.
Fold my interstellar sight.

And every second it shuts
My third, silent eye.
The cycle is now.

Can't bear the revising of my eye.
Tears pouring down my edges - they drown somehow.
I know that you're around.
Spectating my voyage
Into the ground.
Why?

Slowly sinking.
Shredding skies
Into finite state of mind.

This is where I grant you purpose.
Know that you are eternal,
But this is where I release you into the Fall.

You, I've noticed you around.
Still spectating my voyage
Into the ground.

I've reached the Sun, I have now.
I've stood on the water, briefly still.
Suddenly awake, I felt the eyesight.
Welcomed the serpent. So good to see you again.

Let go now, adopt this shining of light.
Surrender all fears and doubts.
Walk into the temple, it's time.

My kingdom for the waterfall.
I'm humbled as I transcend all that surrounds me.
Shivering in the sun, freezing in the fire.
Son of the Creator, one with the sky.

My kingdom for the avalanche.
Call me Sananda.

To be mindless. I'm only the first. You're next.
Shroud your senses.
This is your time.

Swim in silent waterfalls of Manna.
Call me Sananda, Sananda.
Sananda, you're all as I.

Once more I turn outside.
Delude my conscience again.
To be good without a god
Is no way to honour his voice.

Fetch me now the godless
And drag him towards my church.
And I will carve my name into his eyes
To show that I'm everything.
Murder the first one of his kin.

Tyrant, you.
Divine, I.

Why I won't serve you, Tsar?
I'm my own emperor.
You don't exist.
So long

Enter, sunrise.
Latch my shackles, clutches.
Write my fortune, lord of the Cycles.
Out of the Fall I emerge.

I occur.

Helix, open, divide.
Shatter the iris so I can see all I contain inside.
I occur.

The desert meets the sea and merges my journey.
Ascending to the Halls.

Disconnect all that once was and redirect.

Not of this world, yet akin to it.
I arise in silence.

Ascension, why?
Perpetually, I define the giants of the Nine.

Om. Unite. Om.
Ever-present spirit and mind.
Emerge, wisdom for infinite altruistic light.

Night sky, soothe. Onto obscure.
These are my final shadows.

Remind me how my interstellar origin
Shapes me, holds my form, designs my I.
The only ever-present I.

Join my angelic tribe.
Effervescent, ever-present I.

Return. I'm so homesick.

Now I've mastered the intangible enigma.
Now I see into invisible, I thrive.
This is All.

Before, behind?
The burden of time has loosened its grip,
Merged with the light.

I (yearn to) live (control) I (dictate) am - my design
I (recall) now (every)thing (I am) One - I am All.

Live beyond thought.
Be here now.
Dream, march, shine.

Always knew I'd somehow
finalize these cycles.

What does it mean to be awake?
Enter my sleeping, giant friend.

I'm the Son, I am everyone.
As I sing, become everything.
Shamballah, brahma-vihara, I.
The world is mine, time to unfold the I.
