Serpent of light, movement of the soul
Crawling stately along the spine Mighty phoenix, from the ashes arises Firebird cycle, life, regenerate the cell Life burns fierce, reduced to ashes Resurrection from the flame, ageless process Quest for absolution, out of bounds introspect Self-consuming womb, ever-present, meet no end It seems like I always knew this Since I'm a child I can feel it My inner light everlasting Revolving within in a circle Extended wings I'm flying Over the valleys and planes The curve of space I'm leaving Death is just an illusion Oroborus symbol of eternal life Dig a tunnel for light, through ignorant walls I'm counting the days but I'm dying Grow up with impatience I'm falling down On the peaks of radiant mountains This truth is growing before me My attention fixed on this silence Rediscover life while I'm breathing Designing the shape of material Frozen icon distant reminder Mankind has forgotten the gateways By the mouth of the serpent regenerate 02. Toxic Garbage Island
Mysterious form, soul in the dark
Under this heavy sealing concrete waves Followed by servants, funeral cortege This pale ghost is gathering his strength Ghost, pale, the procession is crawling Plastic form dead things it is now so clear How could I fail to understand Cities are burning the trees are dying My heart awake but still Pain is killing me Take this pestilent destruction out of my way The great pacific garbage patch is exhausted And the world is sliding away In a vortex of floating refuse With the sacred one you have lost Plastic bag in the sea It's a plastic bag in the sea 03. A Sight To Behold
Reflecting ourselves in the blood of all the beings we slay
Misunderstand each other, out of control we remain There is a mystery, we're facing the sight to behold This is what we make of the world, we throw everything away The way we all behave is not understandable It is so sad to see the wealth of our planet fade away We all behave like children, taking off the head of our teddy bear To see what's inside, taking, not giving back We drain the oceans and suck the blood out of the soil We spend the time we have left fighting and killing each other Lust for comfort, entertainment becomes obsession And there is so much time to kill The way I see things is so simple The fact I'm walking standing on this land Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying The living creatures on our side The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated I have to stay away from me But I still don't get the point what's worth destroying all the worlds Try not to get it anymore You burn yourself, set fire for good We die eyes closed, dig your own grave now Tossed in the blaze naked on the flame Lost with no pride, drowned in the filth The giant snake is coming down to eat our heads And the flood will kill us, Mantus is rising from under The way I see things is so simple The fact I'm living dying on this land Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying The living creatures on our side The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated Don't have to stay away from me But I still don't get the point what's worth destroying all the worlds Try not to get it anymore 04. Yama's Messengers
I'm scared to death when I see them arrive
Infected eyes, red, staring at me The time has come for retribution Now they're counting my actions The cries and shouts are confusing me Falling in disgrace, I don't want to go now And I'm facing them, it seams they recognize me It's too late for regrets They're growing darker while approaching me, creeping Prowling vultures in the sky Devoured by the ravening beast Raised, fallen from the dead Endure the pain that they're giving me slow Flashes of life blurred by suffering Distant reminder of funeral piles Thousands of people dying I'm taking back all the pain distributed Through ages unconscious My brain scattered, feed habitants of this cage Consuming my heart I've killed so many, I don't want to count I spent a life slaying raping the world Both far and near before you now I come, please help Creator, faultless one! 05. The Silver Cord
[Instrumental]
06. All The Tears
Are we left lone?
Mother has no time but she cares for me And she cries all the tears I am joining now the river flow I am three days old Now the time has come You have to be a man I don't want to destroy The only chance I have to survive down here The wind blows I'm so scared And the waves so big, I'm not prepared I will have to be strong But for now I cry all the tears Now enter the storm and feel electric sword My entire life is about to burn I am struggling, life is illusion But I keep the dream of a better time This secret knowledge I receive from where I am So precious the treasured icons Extended to this point Forget the ones that hurt They all want, they struggle They fight and try to dry their tears We're all left on our own We are bound yet by each others lives Now I'm leaving this world I will never forget the river flow The pains and traps of life I put my scars away and love I have to face the truth of living I left my boat behind I am not taking it Where I go I won't be crying I die 07. Adoration For None
Everyone is doing their best to destroy it
Simplicity's forgotten And we drill the ground I stand free I refuse to be surrounded The stones and dust bite hostile Devours flesh and bones The weakest lost in hatred Consequence is upon your door Responsible for my own life I'm reborn again and again Driven to increase my own power By creation the purest choice Destined to rule my life And go the way of all flesh Nature is my only master I will bow to no one The ground is dry like rock Without any hope left But now I decide to grab my life With my hands Crave for freedom build my own life Adoration for none Reaction is a weakness the strong cannot afford My path is not determined by actions of others They fill themselves with hate Covering their faces blackened The wolves are back and crave to kill Slip on stones and break their legs Try to hide from termination But the time has come You will have to pay the debt of nature And now you are the one To change the face of the world You wield the sword the pain is left aside I have left my tears behind me So I re find the way that I know So bright to me And I only adore the fact that we are creators Of our own lives Lust for power is the master disease of our time This force alone devours the weak And rules the strongest So mired in convolution It chokes the life from your throat Break the chains of complication I breathe the air of freedom There is no room for your judgement My life is mine alone I purge myself of resentment I breathe the air of freedom Breathe... 08. The Art Of Dying
Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat
Losing contact with the living Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain Don't see anything real in the game The tension is building constantly No reason just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork I try to keep my eyes open And I realize I haven't close my eyes in a long time Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence I've been given the gift of so small hope inside I haven't close my eyes in a long time, I am trying I cannot stomach these forms and colours anymore But I'm here to continue, after all I have been through I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing This life and death more precious than anything I won't bring no material in the after life Take no possessions, I would rather travel light I'm of this kind that kills all day But I don't know yet how to die Art of dying, is the way to let all go Within I practice in the secret of my soul My shape in the reflector Has now for ever, a life on it's own 09. Esoteric Surgery
You have the power to heal yourself
All illness can be healed The cells regenerates Disambiguated situation There is a secret code In the structure of the mind You have the power to heal yourself Flesh bodies mute and blinded Roaming uncertain, lost Infected misinformed Releasing a black enormous insect Out from the chest Archaic form disease Esoteric surgery a dissection of the soul Unsuspected precise power On the wounded astral body Projected beam of light All illness can be healed The cells regenerates Disambiguated situation There is a secret code In the structure of the mind You have the power to heal yourself Suspended floating in empty spaces Descending swift like a fire running down Obstruction disintegration life force Overcoming all circumstances Release the pain 10. Vacuity
The sickness of this world is destroying all the dreams
The fools are kings, tearing apart the soul The race for complication communicate reaction The lack of heart of men, I grow distant from the core Borrow this body for a lifetime, earthly material My soul unravelled out of mental The shell returns to dust I focus on the present concentrate on what I find Accelerate the vision high beyond the curse of time Bring light to my attention, the walls of vacuum fall This force increases and tells me where to go Follow, I enter my dimension, awakened heart of life Enforce my senses, I'm understanding, I find the will to live straight I feel the change I see the vicious circle Finally turned into a virtuous one Having the whole world in my hands, filled Timelessness Out of time the frame I feel so vast I'm all around myself Imaginative interaction But I keep struggling inside to hold this always Forever there Is it the fear to fall in space that keeps us from understanding The only way to find the power is to look inside Increase your fall on purpose and let this river flow Now you hold this secret appeared out of the vacuum of space Remain in what you are, the centre of your life You made it to this point no one can tell you how You crawled and bled all the way but you were the only one That was tearing your soul apart, you finally find yourself 11. Wolf Down The Earth
First of all you will eat all the bodies
No matter they prey for freedom they'll kill you Forward you crush those going backwards The wolves are now your lords Voracious flames upon the earth Second step you eat all the creation Swallow the trees the lakes and all the valleys Crush the moon, and drink the rivers flowing Deep rolling ocean blow Burning all that lives They teach you how to conquer and rule the world The towers that you built so strong, so man can touch They tell you how to find and raise the fears And let them grow inside of your heart they need no walls Is there a chance you face the void inside? Winds of doom will blow your pride away Behold the bright lights coming down on time Before these altars black, made for your sacrifice You take for granted what's been there for ages Inside the womb the new blood gets ready to fight The buildings of our fathers Crumbling in dark vibrations Wolf down the one that made us all No hope, you wolf down the earth 12. The Way Of All Flesh
Anything that has a shape will crumble away, disappear
We belong to the circle of life of all creation We crawl and deny ourselves, refuse this evidence That we project our greatest fears for death And forget our power I want to live my life in close touch with the sacred Pacify the disturbances of the mind I face my own death Lower and lower is the pressure, I can feel that parts of me Collapsing one into the other Higher state of consciousness awaken, I can see the light of this next world Leading my soul reborn I find it hard to believe that this picture on the wall is everything I do understand all the prayers, life is so sharp and hurts so bad What does it mean to be dying, what if you take the guts and brain away? Is it blood and heartbeat that you call life Every effort to ignore it is unavailing we all have to die Is it too late to dull the edges of the pain, I have to try This is an other dimension You can scatter the aches to the winds And even buried in the ground I'm still there Do not be afraid you are dying And the four great elements of your body are collapsing one into the other It feels as if you are being crushed by mountains The light of this world has faded completely But the light of the next world have not yet appeared Your breath is now still, no warmth to your skin Do not be afraid, there's no way you can stay here You are leaving this world All lights are fading away now Leave behind the loved ones and all you know Do not be afraid and let yourself go |
