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 yet untorn Uroboric forms Find itself as a separate entity An ego germ is just beginning to be Wherever there is other, there is fear Birth, primal paradise No gap distance or separation Between self and environment Unconditional omnipotence Nothing is himself, everything is world Consciousness unborn Uroboric forms 02. 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 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 Earthly ambitions weigh their share The vastness of life does not care 03. Pleading For Preservation Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
A choice, a chance to grieve
The tides of change Plant a seed for preservation Oils are drilling, whisking earth's insides Persistence, man's resistance, such a burden Childhood luck naivety But she'll get your attention, when you proceed A simple pattern Grants a sale to the old fools Cast a stone The end of circumstance Unconsciously needs time to build Fears inside you Grow in time to Plant a seed Pernicious thoughts just feed Germinating constantly, helplessly Now derived from inside you A fear that reeks a mind misused Charges fail without values What vile you lent interpretation Pernicious thoughts just breed Scattering, helplessly Time remains 04. Lifeless Irony Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Those cries, those lies
That tell the truth Life's intention to open One's eyes and see it end Those tries to attempt To abuse and hinder minds Accusation for a crime That's left only justice to blame World's weak shelter There's no security How can I trust This world that's turned My life into an irony This worthless earth It's infidelity and treachery Unjustifiable way to Prove itself a failure Piece of mind, serenity Turns to insanity I've been created Into a person I Never thought could exist No need for thought It's just plain stupidity It's so unjust They've chosen me to die I ask why me False truth can't be World's proven itself To be nothing but misery My conscience Once clear and so free Has been incarcerated By our laws of inequality Not care, not fair, not free I've been threatened by my own Ability to live To end it all inside my head Is nothing much to give Immortal lies deface My sentence document I plead for understanding Of this life I resent Why... Why... Me... My liberty been taken away Laws lack of respect My trust a revolt or Mishap meant to be My mind corrupts for a lie Left only to infect My life's just a lifeless irony To end it all I've abandoned reality How can I trust This world that's turned My life into an irony 05. Thinking Being Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Coinage of my brain
A bodiless creation ecstacy Madness counterpart visioning things I want to believe Idealistic cure Unneccessary to disclosure A wishing world making me Mad because of what I want To see in reality Time after time I keep Questioning myself but I can't understand why These truths, these lies These answers I can't find in me A constant fantasy This world in which I live in ecstacy An expression to neglection My oppression cause of a dream That's purely meant to be Thinking being Retraction of this thought Is so much pain I can't understand why Mind and body lie to me Why reality, I can't be sane Just supervene and Make this thought come true Naive understanding Precaution pessimistic with fear A weakness creating A fault in your mind That is so clear Morality preserved A creative confidence you Believe your own words Resulting in assumptions from Your thoughts creating a madness in me Time after time I keep Questioning myself But I cant understand Why...do these truths, these lies These answers keep fuckin' with me Using this part of my mind Helps me bring into being A thought that's meant to be It's something I feel Deep inside an inexorable Fate of what's supposed to be Meant to be I let my mind take its Stroll through imagination I think to myself how can I Relate to this world That can't begin to understand Of how my mind is in demand This world it creates is so Truthfully innate It's authentic actuality Is something that's too good to be This thought is purely meant to be Thinking being Thinking being 06. Cruel Gentility Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Feeling something, needing something
Acting something out to this naive Character your far from fear Enveloping your puppet to feel some fire Cruel gentility adheres Manipulation mastermind Your needs kept persevere Routine tendency, you desire Initial treatment, open fire Figure in display A perfect picture mentally Been smeared away A gentile mind approached to be A gentile mind would believe In confidence, credence hope In what you say A cruelty born sadistic Created callous hearted This blinded hidden sight Never should have started But you... Entreating mortals that Deserve honesty With your cruel useless Gentility No one seems to care To know to see The lack of thirst Eyes of acridity Mind of skill used only to decline A motive in which you find Commitments - in which you deceive Feeling spent - only you believe Distrusting - ways in which your kind Contemplation left confined 07. Denaturalizing Leaders Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
What happened to honesty
What the hell's happened to truth? An adverse turn in leadership's ways A negative procession delaying our truce What's happening to the people Or the body of politics? All for the crown, just for an addiction Money, power, they need a fix Life's drastically changing with time There were times when our worlds looked brighter When we had thrived on the quotes "No false propositions, no need for liars" Polished specimens to rule us all An image to portray that fools majority Ancient atmosphere, do we recall In which was worth trustworthy custody Why ask what they are for? Attempts to tell us about their gimmick is so damn absurd Let's insurrect their rulership - eliminate their goals Put their claims of confidence into segregated rows Facing their false selves Denaturalizing leaders!!! 08. Extremes Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Society's selfish meaning to confine
Disabled by the need to cure an insecurity Masses strive to keep themselves in line While the radical seek attention all the time Say they're sick - just hypochondriacs Cry some more, I know it's all an act Lies...taken to extremes Despised...because of what they need A selfish thought to please themselves They strive to succeed in what they're looking for Defying, lying, rebelling for attention A disability taken from one extreme to another Abusing rights, defying given laws Excessive whining, they desire sympathy Rebel, they prove their lives are just a flaw Immoderate acts plagued by the disease I proved them wrong but they're the ones to blame Defeated fair and square at their own game 09. A Life Astray Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
A cult or crew that know not of what to do
Indecisive life, but who's to say? A life that's left them nowhere but to decay In a never ending search for affairs to waste a day A continental lifestyle thought to be Has turned its back on society A life astray... Extensions of their thoughts to find their goals Procrastinating life they can obey No sense of direction but they're just people A life that's left them nowhere but to decay Deteriorated life, swallowed whole While choking on their own self esteem In their quest for a dream Searching for something - something to do Their lives wasting away and passed them by Before they know it, their life's gone They've met their fate, a wasted life to die Extensions of their thoughts to find their goals Procrastinating life they can obey No sense of direction but they're just people A life that's left them nowhere but to decay In a never ending search for affairs to waste a day A continental lifestyle thought to be Has turned its back on society A life astray... 10. Agitating Affliction Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
A prevalent personality
Susceptible to understand Pressured with an easy procedure Returned with a demand You impatient wayward one Can't deal with reality's harsh truth You've been agitated by a supposed young fool You just can't lose Because you've been agitated You turn to affliction in distress A most important virtue you don't have Living life only to regress With all your arrogance You ask for a favor and I refuse You've been defamated by a young fool With haughty views toward you Unnecessary attitude Agitating moods Pressured with decisions Applying affliction so profuse Vain glory within yourself A life that's meant to be an empty folio Agitating affliction Is the problem that you have And you don't even know You're minus one virtue The virtue is patience can't you see? Useless retaliation is your fault Administering affliction is how you feed A prevalent personality Susceptible to understand Pressured with an easy procedure Returned with a demand You impatient wayward one Can't deal with reality's harsh truth You've been agitated by a supposed young fool You just can't lose... You just can't lose! 11. Once Misguided Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Inculcate perfection from the very day of birth
Don't understand just what it means Discourse destroyed Don't know what it's worth Sow you up into a seam Impregnable parents who can't accept the truth Selfishness to earn their keep Your life's been set destined to be ruined Living a misguided dream Once misguided Tyrannical parents Persecute and depress A bewildered young mess A personal attack You just realized their vindictive fueled lies Your parents grow weaker Trepidation is stronger They own you no longer Their idea of holding will never hold true Once disrespected your parents now lose A human being when misguided Should be aware to defy it Don't be a victim of a misguided life 12. Weak Reasoning Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Animal's the answer to all forms of innocence
Mankind destroys with weak intentions and weaker reasons Torturing animals for an excuse so dense An inhuman science with no feeling and no sense Shoving down your feelings, puking out your world You justify your acts by thinking you might find a cure What the hell is with you all? Can't you see the light? It seems to be you'd rather harm than what's fucking right What discoveries have they made? Will they find a cure? Using a dog or cat's no way to be sure Don't you know what's going on? Don't you have a mind? They're helpless creatures What do you ever find? Senseless killings just to make yourself pure Why can't we understand that nothing's ever sure? Do you feel responsible for the future of mankind? A human body a human mind Maybe that's where you should conduct your fucking finds 13. Dwellers Of The Threshold Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Archetypal dwellers of the end
Sacrifice control and dissent Nothing's ever wasted to be good Let's face it life is what you choose See the violence Leave it or consent Something in us Must cry out and repent Sideshow politics make no fucking sense Dwellers of the threshold Their rules their laws their life Ostentation as a beautiful strife The hypocrites blame with a mind deranged They're the ones we should fucking hate 14.
