Tracks



01. The Stargate

[Tablet I]
Chamber echoing with dust
Drifting through beams of Light
Shadows cast upon the stones
Temple doors reveal the Night

Surging magnitude under the weight of the stars
Suffocating density of gravity's well

All life is suffering that basks in Nothingness
All life is temporary; what lasts is Consciousness

Fallen on Terra's plane, my name forgotten
All life is temporary; what lasts is Consciousness

[Tablet II]
(instrumental)

[Tablet III]
Siphon my flesh through the Stargate - BURN!
Render from Nothing the essence of Form
Fall through the portal, lacerate Time
Collapse the gateway & seal the door

Adrift among lost souls I wander
The expanse extends ever onwards
Alone & disembodied I wait
To search & find myself once more

Through Death, sanctuary
Eternal rest in mists of dead stars
At last, in stellar solitude
The circle can be broken once more

Into the Stargate I try to see...

Above the sands of Time, its shadow is cast again
The monolith returns, demanding passage

Open the Stargate

02. The Message

[Tablet I]
What does it mean to be human?
And the nature of Consciousness?
The mystery has been revealed...
By the dance of Nature's quiet songs of the birds...

Lifetimes ago the first questions arose
After the impetus of Thought:

If I AM everywhere here, what is the ALL out there?

And at once, VOID was birthed...
Echoing through aeons of dust coasleced as Form
Something from Nothing;
Eventually the ALL from NULL

...UNFOLDING PRESCIENCE...

Rising tides of Thought ebb & flow
Like an endless river, winding through our hearts
To animate the deepest resonance of our souls:

TO BE! TO CREATE!
TO KNOW THYSELF! TO GIVE!

[Tablet II]
Can you hear them? Calling your name?
Can't you hear them? The voices calling your name?
Screaming so loud in the dark...
Calling (from) someplace behind the soul of Time...

When your soul hears the call, it is time to awaken...
You must wake up!

[Tablet III]
Hence the burden of flesh becomes resolved,
Open safe passage of LIGHT through the ABYSS:
Through generosity - the highest vibration!

Fight the tide of greed - Open your heart & believe
SOW PEACE THROUGH DEEDS

Recognize one's place within the dance
Know thy beat in time & whence to step
Through silent echoes (KARMA) we begin to grow
And seek the Oneness all beings know

Lost in shadows of Time, buried truths of humankind
QUANTUM IMPULSE
To grow beyond the animal instinct to fight

Could all of this be for Nothing?
Or is your life part of Something?
Could every choice of Thought be an offering?
Could every step lead you further on the Way?
