First strike of the creation
Shakes the earth at its very core Pangea shattered, humanity is scattered Separation for evermore Eternal conflict, waged since the dawn of time A delicate balance waits. This evil seems to be undermined As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies. Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary Flee the lies The Godhead has been split, exiled by mankind Although we're out of reach, His message transcending time As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies. Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary how can we free this world, it soon will melt away As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed how can we save this world, it soon will melt away As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial Alone I am feeling caught within it's wind When I noticed all hope is lost and blwon away Never knowing what may come never showing what's been done Realized potential so long in denial Cast off this shadow, escaping Belial Redemption of the forgotten Redemption of the forgotten how can we free this world, it soon will melt away As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed how can we save this world, it soon will melt away As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial 03. Of One Blood
Abandon this search for an ultimate reality
Your words only used to conceal the true meaning Never speaking from the heart As you've built a wall of lies, silence falls Awakened all that you despise These lies, our chosen roles force-fed your values and your goals Why? You won't see Truth : unity Bound eternally Reincarnation of the eternal soul This struggle forever in our blood boils Withstanding these attacks Lay waste to all your claims Kept chained no longer Finding strength in all your shames These lies our chosen roles Force-fed your values and your goals Why? You wont see Truth: unity Bound eternally Forgiveness for those who stray Protection through unity Forgiveness for those who stray Protection through unity These lies, our chosen roles Force-fed your values and your goals Why? You won't see Truth : unity Bound eternally Forgiveness for those who stray Protection through unity Forgiveness for those who stray Protection through unity 04. The First Noble Truth
As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape Realization of my mind's own deceit Perception Slips away Lulled into a fools paradise Words mislead again the agony of imaginary sins and fears truth of suffering Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me) Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul) Disintegration of the ego with this mind creates False idea of self The cessation of continuity and becoming True enlightenment Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me) Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul) Someone free me from heaven torn asunder full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering) Will not remain enslaved This world's transparency I see right through I walk alone As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight This is my escape Realization of my mind's own deceit Perception Slips away Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me) Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul) Someone free me from heaven torn asunder full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering) Extinction of thirst Extinction of desire Extinction of hatred Extinction of illusion This is absolute. 05. Fleshold
Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why Why you bothered to take this time too concerned with yours I should think of mine Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) My pain is all inside Until razor and arm collide From my heart upon the floor Take my blood but you take more Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) Take my life, you take more Of my life, take some more Just let me die Dying over and over in my mind As you twist the knife I wonder why Why you bothered to take this time too concerned with yours I should think of mine Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) Of my life, take some more. 06. Root Bound Apollo
Stagnation, motionless air
A shroud cast over understanding Gasping to inhale the manna of life But still you decay So wake up and strengthen what you have Before it dies completely I am the first, I am the last I am the living one fury of a God encaged in Human self doubt Power to create burns within all All Jah children I am the first until this day unseen And I search for this light within me As you turn toward the sky Script of thousand lies, and in judgement you, Burn, Fir burn them. Burn, Fire burn them. Stagnation, motionless air A shroud cast over understanding Gasping to inhale the manna of life But still you decay So wake up and strengthen what you have Before it dies completely I am the first, I am the last I am the living one fury of a God encaged in Human self doubt Power to create burns within all All Jah children Burn, Fir burn them. Burn, Fire burn them. The comfort for which you yearn I find within myself, I and I Now summon forth this hailstorm Of blood and ash In judgement this fire forever will burn In judgement shall fire burn. 07. Revel In My Loss
Can I prevent this loss and pain to hasten my release
Or am I damned to existence alone Sear me child, let this pain set me free again With broken promise, never know what this life could bring And the time spent alone sorting through emotions Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay With only words I can't express my deep regret Of time gone by and of feelings that I'll never know Pain believed but never shared has left me damaged here My wounds will bleed anew, I am now exposed Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Holds me tight in crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Hold me tight is crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear Revel in my loss Sear me child, let this pain set me free again With broken promise, never know what this life could bring And the time spent alone sorting alone through emotions Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay Revel in my loss Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Holds me tight in crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Holds me tight in crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear 08. Montauk
Toppling building blocks
At the base of all mankind Redirection of evolution Electromagnetic control of the mind Arising from technology Creation, new entity Mankind, forever be Bound, and gagged A new breed of control Manipulation of space and time Warped perception dictating action Sick delusion they're divine Arising from technology Creation, a new entity Mankind, forever be Bound, and gagged Mechanically possessed, placed under control They keep us marching Mechanically possessed, placed under control They keep us marching A conspiracy unwinds As the government denies Lost children pays the price Suffocated by their lies Arising from technology Creation, a new entity Mankind forever be Bound, and gagged Toppling the building blocks At the base of all mankind Redirection of evolution Electromagnetic control of the mind Arising from technology Creation, a new entity Mankind, Forever be Bound, and gagged Mechanically possessed, placed under control They keep us marching on What did they hope to find What did they hope to gain What did they hope to find And what has become They kept us bound and gagged 09. To Ashes
Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp
Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water You speak to me in ways that I don't understand deep inside I hear every word every way And after all is lost there is nothing left inside of me I long for your touch How I need to breathe your breath again Deep inside me I know I'm alone how I cherish your persuasive warmth This is not what I want life to be (there is no way I can stop this now) And there's nothing left inside of me I long for your touch How I need to breathe your breath again Deep inside me I know I'm alone how I cherish your persuasive warmth This is not what I want life to be (there is no way I can stop this now) And there's nothing left inside of me Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Endlessly unfallen words I cannot replace don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again But I long to be your servant once more By the morning light I'll have breathed my last I implore you, don't forget my love Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again But I long to be your servant once more By the morning light I'll have breathed my last I implore you, don't forget. 10. Serenity
Anticipation of a reward so pleasing
Inhibitions ensnaring me like shackles Unrelenting urge to quench, to grtify All consuming senses of the primitive And I remain, drenched in the excess of every movement Serenity in this repetition Within the peace of this meditation Convergence of spirit and the physical Achievement of pure integration No longer distort the true expression of the soul And I remain, drenched in the excess of every movement Serenity of this repetition Forever be searching foward Nothing remains left behind Forever be clawing foward Continuance of my line Writhing with virility Instinct to perpetuate Divert mortality Extend my soul beyond Anticipation of a reward so pleasing Inhibitions ensnaring me like shackles Unrelenting urge to quench, to gratify All consuming senses of the primitive And I remain, drenched in the excess of every movement Serenity of this repetition Forever be searchign foward Nothing remains left behind Forever clawing foward Continuance of my life |
