Talisman
06:24
|
|||
In the rays of astral light, divine mind did align
In a moment out of time, Talisman came alive and was born
In precious stone it found its home, upon an elemental throne
Holding keys to the unknown, a worthy pendant for mortal bones
In a symbol of eternal jest, I carved its outer flesh
To find a place upon my neck, to lay its grace upon my breast
I've been hurting for so long, I've been losing my faith
This cold, hard reality is feeling mighty profane
I've been starving for meaning - a heart in nature's embrace
And at times I wish that lightning would take me out of this place
And the toil nearly broke me, that blank staring abyss
But an ignite in my soul of light, began a magical shift
Then my heart tore wide open, emblazed in spiritual bliss
Then it beamed pure willpower into this stone in my fist
Astral light - divine mind -out of time - came alive
Precious stone - found its home - the unknown - mortal bones
Astral light - divine mind - did align - out of time
Talisman
Came alive

Golden Rule
07:21
|

Golden sunrise, vanish the night... golden sunrise, vanish the night...
He forged the golden rule, a light to guide the fool - its gold was cast astray
A molten soul of lead, a stone upon your head - purify till red
Weave the golden thread, you'll never be misled - your light will guide all men
Corporeal, from gold spun on the wheel
Sunset, sunrise, the rhythms of the one mind
Mean and extreme, between the seen and unseen
How to survive, when all the world's made of light, and all the light's made of mind? On a never-ending ride! How many times have I died, with the golden rule by my side?
The middle path is the one that lasts, when all the world's in you, and you in then
It's almost like you will know where the wind will blow, cause it follows where your music goes
Some live for material things, think themselves fine material beings
Some think others are living in sin, but do they judge others as their savior did?
And I do everything with love in my heart, you can do no wrong when love is your art
The golden rule will take care of you - always balanced, always true
And I live by the golden rule - the pillar of virtue, the light of truth
I live by the golden rule - the scales of justice, the light of truth

Nothing to Fear
07:57
|

There is nothing to fear, it is all so clear
Life is but a song, won't you sing along?
Even the devil knows, he's but a tone of om
A complimentary mind, we get along just fine
There is nothing to fear, we have all been here before
In and out of death's door, we've seen this light before
And my love you are
You are my favorite part
Cause my love you are the best melody by far
There is nothing to fear, all that exists is right here and now
There is nothing to fear, the end of illusion is here and now
The devil can't get ahold of me
It's just the shadow at my feet
There is nothing to fear
You'll lose it all, you'll feel such pain
Yet it's all the mind's lone game
There is nothing to fear
An endless ladder a karmic chain
The endless song called every name
There is nothing to fear
There is nothing to fear...

In this circle of life
The pendulum reached its height
Resists with all its might... falls back into sunrise
Be the arrow of time
Embrace and then unwind
Be the pulse of light
The gift unto the night
I've been here before my friend, I see it coming around again
I've felt this pain before, I nearly thought it was at an end
But every breath and every step takes a right and then a left
And every peak you're born to reach drops into a cliff
I've been here before my friend, I see it coming around again
I've reached this peak before, I nearly thought it was the world's end!
But ever beyond in the world's song, you'll find no greatest height
The power of the souls great love can endure eternal spirals
In this circle of life
The pendulum reached its height
Resists with all its might... falls back into sunrise
Be the arrow of time
Embrace and then unwind
Be the pulse of light
The gift unto the night

Follow the Money
05:57
|
|||
Run around, grind your wheels, don't settle down
Sweat it out, work for it, go hand to mouth
Round the clock, keep chopping and stack the blocks
Smile wide, say thank you and count your toys
Follow the money
Go follow the money
I follow the money
It leads the way
A house of cards, and well-manicured yards
All in on a dream, we play monopoly
A sordid soiree, less it all be cast astray
Clamor for the glamour, impress your friends to jealousy
Afford it, award it, raise the trophy to the air
The plastic is fantastic, watch the others clap and cheer
A crisis, despair, watch it vanish to thin air
The system never glistened, these gods were never there!
Woe, it is no mystery
Study the history
Follow the money
Its interests are swelling beyond the great red line
Too big to fail can't sustain with the times
We toil for pennies, we battle for black gold
Serving machines of perpetual growth
The system had failed when bombs fell on homes
The people were always the pawns in the throe
Love thy neighbor
Spread your favor
Plant your seeds deep
Your life will be sweet

Stone Throne
06:26
|
|||
Upon it rests the sky, whose breath filled pools on high
From there the waters flowed into the cups below
Ye whose soul is dry, seek to reach my sight
The mountain is my home, my stone throne... it's where I rest my bones
Follow my thunder cry echo off stone and ice
Beyond the storms of life from the peak where I reside
Hang from cliffs you climb, your purpose within sight
The mountain is my home, my stone throne... it's where I rest my bones
The Earth quakes
The bones shake
The stones break
The throne caves in again
Stars spin around, all around me
Blend into circular streams
Orbits of change speed around me, pulsing in dizzying dreams
All mountains crumble into the sea
All paths divide in infinity
Arising from sleep, I crawled from the sea onto the mud of centuries
Crawling towards light, in the deserts of mind... I found the Earth did incline
Built upon bone ground into stone, I beheld the almighty throne
After such plight, my soul felt quite dry, so I lift my cup high
All mountains rise up from the sea
All paths align in infinity
The earth quakes
The bones shake
The stones break
The throne caves in again

Unholy Fulcrum
09:46
|
|||
The lord of sorrow, loss and pain
Is he who guards the holy gates
Offer up self-sacrifice
To gain access to the light
There you'll find the triune mind
Three aspects of the one spacetime
Focus thy will inside, may the universe oblige
The lord of sorry, loss and pain
Is he who guards the holy gates
Master builders and capstone kings
Yield holy fulcrums to float upstream
But beware of unjust means
Or slip down the spiral of suffering
I've read the words of god, written by mortal men
I've studied the maths of reason, mapping divine threads
Moved by great works of art, that inspired my heart from chest
Uplifted by the sweetest sounds, plucked from the souls of friends
In awe like baby's wonder, with profound and novel sense
And I've loved so deeply, that my life's forever pledged
But nothing truly compares, when I open my heart and all draws near
We're connected
And nothing truly compares, when I close my eyes and all appears
We're reflected
Yet we're never truly prepared, when our soul reaches beyond Earth's air
We're rejected
And as I claw back towards the light
As I reach for that peace of mind
I'm slipping back down the spiral
I awaken on cold hard tile
The lord of sorrow, loss and pain
Is he who guards the pearly gates
Offer up self-sacrifice, to gain access to the light
There you'll find the triune mind, three aspects of the one spacetime
Focus thy will inside, may the universe oblige
The path is too long for most to tread
Either you walk forever, or you take a death to rest
The choice is too deep for most to dwell
Either you attract your heaven, or you will your hell
The truth is too pure for most to see
It chooses you to see it, or it chooses only me
My friend, I wish you god speed, we are all in this together - unholy fulcrum

In the neutral sands of time, where hands stand still and waves align
A god was born, a sphere of light, a sol exchanging all starmind
And here we live beneath the sky, sustained by waves all shapes and size
And I've found my calling in this realm of mine
To transform this world via the speed of light
We rise, we fall in waves of time, while orbiting our source of life
Immortal coils, we are as one, born to the grave beneath the sun
Our souls are prisms, we bend the light into our hues, our soul's delight
And I've found my calling in this realm of mine
To transform this world via the speed of light
We balance our hearts on feather, we absorb and we shine together
We count hands of time together, we're benders of light, together!
