In Maya's grip
Illusion transforms verity Perceiving thus A delusive world of duality Veil of Maya Balance every joy with a grief Dual scales of Maya Earth's unending law of polarity Ahamkara...Veil of Maya (lead: Jason) Illusion works, impenetrable Weaving webs innumerable Her gay pictures never fail Crowd each other veil on veil Maya subjects you A charmer who will be believed By man who thirsts to be deceived Veil of Maya Chops and divides God's dream thoughts The great divider As we be subject to likes and disgust Ahamkara...Veil of Maya (lead: Paul) Maya subjects you Maya subjects you A charmer who will be believed By man who thirsts to be deceived {Paul is using his voice as an instrument here but no actual words are being sung} Veil of Maya Balance every joy with a grief Dual scales of Maya Earth's unending law of polarity Veil of Maya Chops and divides God's dream thoughts The great divider As we be subject to likes and disgust Ahamkara...Veil of Maya 02. Celestial Voyage Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
As I peeped into my mortal cup of mind
A molten liquid of penance splashed my eyes Unseen truth, a divine surgery Reveals view, windows of faith A breeze to a raft of happiness Guiding cue, calmness in mental lake (lead: Paul) A celestial voyage To reach the shores and bathe In pools of divine nectar (lead: Jason) My raft filled with delusive waste water To reach the shores Shall be drained by holes of wisdom And bathe in pools of divine A celestial voyage To reach the shores and bathe In pools of divine nectar A celestial voyage To feel the bliss of liquid Healing nectar inside 03. The Eagle Nature Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Learning, discerning, how to arrange
Thinking the haze will just not clear Viewing, computing, our minds will stage A vehicle inside we feel... The eagle nature Everchanging river flows high and low Panoramic vision is undefined For unfocused consciousness The eagle nature Precaution for a stream of risk The eagle nature It sees changes clear A crystal goblet, so fragile and dear Needs fill one step at a time... Don't be shallow Noting the fall of a sparrow Attending the slightest scratch of flesh Earthly ambitions weigh their share The vastness of life, it doesn't care A crystal goblet, so fragile and dear Needs fill one step at a time (lead: Paul) Earthly ambitions weigh their share The vastness of life, it does not care 04. Sentiment Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Won't you
Try too Won't you Cosmic mother, awaken us In thine impartial love for all Bless us that we be free from The sway of greed and delusion Inspire us to build a new world - One in which famine, disease and ignorance Will be only memories of a dismal past Creative mother arouse us to know That we be not lost in the sands Open our eyes... Won't you Love you Won't you Creative mother arouse us to know Inspire us to build a new world Since forever we've yearned to Quench what's never fulfilling Lost endeavors found in a stilled Mind if we be willing Creative mother arouse us to know That we be not lost in the sands Open our eyes... 05. I'm But A Wave To... Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
As one I'll meet the mortal memories
Reliving seeking silence And know that I as just a shell outside Have sacred joys inside me No fear, nor fight Comforting silent side So free, through flight Comforting silence So I call on Sri, cosmic sea All is within you As in a dream I'm but a wave to... (lead: Jason) Infinity within thy consciousness An ever expanding sphere Immortal spark ignites Spreads by the air of bliss Embracing warmth that heals No fear, nor fight Comforting silent side So free through flight Comforting silent side (lead: Paul) (chorus) 06. Uroboric Forms Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Self is the universe
Not separate The state before the fall into Self consciousness Nothing is himself Everything is world Primordial egg retains Consciousness unborn Pre-personal perfection Bliss's screen is yet untorn Uroboric forms (lead: Jason) Find itself as a separate entity An ego germ is just beginning to be Wherever there is other There is fear (lead: Paul) Birth, primal paradise No gap, distance or separation Between self and environment Unconditional omnipotence Nothing is himself Everything is world Primordial egg retains Consciousness unborn Pre-personal perfection Bliss's screen is yet untorn Uroboric forms Consciousness unborn Uroboric forms 07.

08. How Could I Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
How could I forget such a revelation
To love without fear and learn without question How could I regret the meant occasions I must begin this day again Freedom and reason shine through Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe How could I? Humility take charge of me Drown me in truth's modest waters Loosen your grip, identity Free me from an ego's falter Freedom and reason shine through How could I? Love too often is only a dream If I am harsh and unkind to myself So I share these attitudes with you Must I try? How could I? (lead: Paul) Freedom and reason shine through Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe Love too often is only a dream How could I? Love too often is only a dream If I am harsh and unkind to myself So I share these attitudes with you For in this spewing cadence of my pride How could I? (lead: Jason) |
