Cynic - Re-Traced lyrics



Tracks



01. Space

Music & lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Soft omens
Traced in air
Phantom warnings
Disassembling the captain's chair

Can I be the space for this
Will I be the space for this

Breathe out breathe in

Out of ruins
We've haunted like owls
The future druids
Drop the crystal goblet forming spells

Can I be the space for this
Will I be the space for this

Breathe in breathe out
Must I bend the sky to realize

A bundle of thoughts
On a dirty cloth perfumed
To tell you who you are
A bundle of thoughts
On a lonely ghost pursuit
Lost inside the space for this

Raise my arms
Space, wake my eyes
Space, grace my heart

Can I be the space for this
Will I be the space for this
Breathe in breathe out
Must I bend the sky to realize

Can I be the space for this
Will I be the space for this
Must I bend the sky to recognize

I can be the space for this
I will be the space for this

I am now The Space For This
I am now The Space For This
I just bent the sky and realize

02. Evolutionary

Music & lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Here's my hand you painted on
A circle fades inside a heart
Are you expected here
You whisper in my ear

So I wash my hands till the water burns
A circle sits outside a door
Are you expected here
I whisper in your ear

I'm whole, open
I'm starved, broken
I'm lost and found

I'm an Evolutionary Sleeper

If letting go means letting be
and the truth beyond the mind is what I need

If letting go means letting be
and the truth beyond the mind is what I see

I'm an Evolutionary Sleeper

03. King

Music & lyrics by Paul Masvidal
From the mountain top
He looks upon the crowds
Mindful among The mindless
unbound

King Of Those Who Know
I'm sheltering the fears
The loneliness exposed
An ocean born of tears
for the world

The churchyard bells
Ring mine for just today
Save me from hope
That I'll be saved

King Of Those Who Know
My thirsts unquenchable
The rain could become gold
And share my box of bones
in the ground

We raise the vibratory level so high
That all untruth will fall
Of its own dead weight

King Of Those Who Know
I've taken off my clothes
The diamond crushed the stone
And gave the world a heart

Our karma's all been burned
The molecules emerge
In a world beyond this world
We dare, speak the word

King Of Those Who Know
Into the pure abodes

04. Integral

Music & lyrics by Paul Masvidal
I touch the string though the harp may not sing
Still I dig the sky for sun sparks to guide
Down below there's a land with an ominous hole
Dug deep in the sand of belief

A million doves
Orbit round the earth with tears of blood
Dare the virgin take Integral Birth

From the void I am born into wave and particle
In the uncreated light emerged an oracle

A million doves
Orbit round the earth with tears of blood
Slay the dragon take Integral Birth

Weep no more
Noble silence usher my way home

A million doves
Orbit round the earth with tears that flood
Line in sand erased we are but one
Cosmic cavalcade we are but one
Time has come I take Integral Birth

05. Wheels Within Wheels

Music & lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Sleep away these dreams
I'm burning angels under my feet
And I can't explain why love
Has to stamp the ground
Is it so that our broken hearts
Will never make another sound

So we cry while the baby screams smile
We hide while the tyrants breathe light
And the wheels within wheels roll by

Silence me again
Keep me at bay from words
That I've said these are the days
When mars is closer than the sun

So we cry while the baby screams smile
We hide while the tyrants breathe light
And the wheels within wheels roll by

Bye, bye

I'll paint the sand
