For Whom The Bell Tolls
02:42
|
|||
|
The bell doth toll for him that thinks it doth; and though it intermit again, yet from that minute that this occasion wrought upon him, he is united to God. Who casts not up his eye to the sun when it rises? but who takes off his eye from a comet when that breaks out? Who bends not his ear to any bell which upon any occasion rings? but who can remove it from that bell which is passing a piece of himself out of this world?
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Why don't you, see me through, and follow me into the fire?
Go my way, we'll go insane; you'll follow me down the road
You can't hold back, you can't go back, you can't seem to follow my way
It's insane
You can't return from the rebirth
Why won't you follow my lead?
You're tired and crazy, your mind is lazy
Your actions, they are so obscene
You can't quit now, you don't know how, you're not even quite sure why
You can't hold back, you can't go back, come on, let's go inside
Why don't you, see me through, and follow me into the garden?
We'll build it high, ninety-seven feet wide, you can use it as your own escape, yeah
An island of size, to pleasure your eyes, we're piercing through the final phase
It's insane
There's no telling where we'll go from here, we're headed to another place
There's no telling why we shouldn't even try to float through hyper-space
You can't quit now, you don't know how, you're not even quite sure why
You can't hold back, you can't go back, come on let's go inside
There is something guiding my hand
But I don't see it, I just, I just don't quite understand
What it is that is happening to me
But it's unprecedented, so I guess, I guess we'll see

Caduceus
02:31
|

|
Forgetting where we're going next, the rest is just a test, you'll see
It's something that began under the Bodhi Tree
Can't consider something else, stop playing with your endless guilt
This Age is not for reckonings from your mind
You will not, you won't find the edge of the line
You cannot, it's not supposed to happen this time
It's starting, then ending, but who could know why?
The Hobbit, yes perhaps, has something to confide
What was that you said to me?
"(There's) death behind the Bodhi Tree",
a voice whispers, and then I can begin to see
It's sitting on the other side, just peer right through those weary eyes
You told me that you wanted to see what you might find
A story from so long ago, could be 14 centuries old
The one without the man who reappeared beyond the sand
A cactus was so very near, don't falter your death of fear
I'll tell you any such things that you may want to hear
Regard, no more, your mind's endless throe
Keep hold, stay on, this mighty horse
The road is hardly able to be seen
But the darkness will only illuminate me
Onward!
But have you discovered the riddle of the myth?
Can you try to see if the puzzle fits?
Are you afraid to lose all of it?
Where is, yes, where is, the Caduceus?
Forgetting about yesterday,
Let's run into the burning grave
I wanted to see just what I might find
Came across, thru the vine, the curse of the times
Something secret and from intelligent design...

Dimensional Eyes
03:46

Dimensions arise, it makes me cry
She came to me at night
But I knew that the time was right
In spite of the fact, she knew where it's at
She sang to me and smiled
I felt just like a child in my mind
A playground of fantasies at last
It's time to cast a spell
I can already tell, where it's going
Suddenly she started showing me that we came here for a reason
It's just that time of season
To triumph above the treason
Spew to me your treasures, please
I need some sort of leisure
I only want to appease her
Dimensional eyes are in my mind
The setting was right, I knew it was time
To request a favor from your type
I cannot recall what it's all been like
You are my own worst enemy
Please don't record your centuries
See why you aren't inside of my mind
You can't turn away, there's no disguise
But no wonder
It's all over
Show to me your blunders
I'm waking up from slumber
And we're going down, down under
Reveal to me your fantasies
I need some sort of secret key
Dimensions arise, it makes me smile
It took me a second, but all the while
You were standing right there, I couldn't see
Now i no longer need your secret key
Please don't try to get outside of my mind
There's nowhere to go, I can see it in your eyes
You are my own worst enemy
But still I've known you for centuries
And so it goes, or I've been told
Your eyes are very old
and Time is just so cold
But here we are, we're in between
A rock and a cosmic screen
Certainly you understand what I mean....?

Oracle

Let me spin to you an oracle, to see where your mind dwells
Perhaps I can already tell
Let me sing to you a tune, to see if you're in tune
So far, so good
Read to me your eyes
Show me what I may find
Welcome here, will you please come over here?
I am the Seer
There's nothing to fear
I want you to go down that hall
But make sure that you aren't gonna fall
How did I know that?
We're moving quick, we're moving faster
This whole dream is one big disaster
But please, let me see your eyes
No need to ask why
Only then will you not pretend, only then
Only then will you not pretend, only...THEN

Eternal Slumber
03:43
|
|||
|
Eternal summer, lay me down
Take me to the grave, I kneel to your sound
Devote my attention, for it's fickle and thin
Remind me of the warm blanket of your skin
Categorize my makeshift dreams
It's hard to succumb to, or so it seems
Recounting a time where we all went mad,
Running away from the fruitless flag
And bathe me, bathe me down under
Drown me, drown me with wonder
Seduce me, into Eternal Slumber
and see me, before it's all over
Conclude a gesture, and show me your name
I'm in pain once again, with nothing to gain
Retire to the study and I will walk
Away from all this noise and all this talk
Retort your conclusions, for it's all an illusion
And you're the star character
So don't manufacture anymore ideas
And don't attempt to be rid of your fears

Mortal Coil
04:20
|
|||
|
We walk this Earth with a chip on our shoulder
Carrying the baggage from the mistakes of our elders
We're mining and chipping for something like diamonds
The elements colliding, to create something Timeless
Our modern day saints are the sinners of old
The fate of the people will never be told
But still we march on to the beat of the drum
To take what we deserve, to take what we've won
The day to day grind that we all must face,
On this Mortal Coil
Has prepared us for our eternal midnight toil
But still, we can't be angry
Oh, but it isn't easy
You tell me all the rules, but still we feel cheated
We walk this Earth not knowing where we're going
All we know is what we have seen before
But we try and try to shake off that pain
But we'll never be able to escape these days
The end is near, but we can't give in to fear
Because there will be, there will be no love
We run and run to escape nature's gun
The war can't be lost, the war can't be won
Roll out of bed, get kicked in the head
I wish I was a baby, I wish I was dead
If it's all a dream, who will comfort me?
Who will wake me up from my endless sleep?

Alien Summer
04:25
|
|||
|
Saturate me inside the skin,
I'm growing akin to your foreign ways
A distaste of mine that I haven't designed
It's not original to my mind
The summer draws near, I can see it in the clear
And the sky is warm and high
It's thick with something, I can smell it all around
A hughe of presence that's touching the ground
And I can't believe my eyes
It's making me want to cry
The beauty of the ships so far in the sky
Raising my skin so incredibly high
The Alien Summer has arrived at last
They're sending DNA rays from the past
A sacred code that I must implore
I can't even begin to fathom what we're in for
Cosmic signals blast through my dreams
A reoccuring life with apocalyptic themes
A riddled passage inscribed into the page
It's time to write the story of the Age

It can be so scary, so uncomfortable
But from now on I've got time
Ready to take my time
And slowly erode my parasite, slowly erode my parasite
It will not defeat, my own defeat
It will not pursuade the ways of yesterday

Serpent Power

Cross thy shame, and spread her legs
Crown royale is here to stay
Sing a song for a secular parade
And hand me down some princess taste
Receive a notion from your yin-yang potion
Your feminine return to the human cry
The moon shines red in the dark of the sky
and Serpent Power has arrived
Bird and snake are hard to fake
The fusion arises from human waste
Kiss your years, and cry your tears
But don't ask why it happened so late
Sorcery deprives the essential faith
Rewires our brains from its own distaste
You can count those years if it pleases your ears
But don't get lost in the eternal game
Shakti returns from 30,000 years of shame
She can't see that we've all gone insane
But she can see the Way that is true
The path that brought me to you
Why must we all wander about?
With silent confirmation this is all that we've got?
Like some kind of chicken, our heads chopped off
We've gone astray, we're lost

I can't believe my eyes these days, it's crazy
The white light is blinding me, but it can't phase me
I can't conceive of what could happen next
The shift is coming quickly into an apex
We will not forget why
We don't even like to try to solve the puzzle
Don't struggle
To solve these intrinsic frequency waves
They vibrate, they migrate
Sending cold chills down through my spine
But ecstasy, is next to me
Pain vs. pleasure, the line is so fine
Extraterrestrial presence is lingering about
Calling our species out from our own disdain
We can't even see them, they don't even know our names
But the wisdom will prevail to reveal the Golden Age
But the kingdom is scary
Biding our time, we run from the sage
Don't fight it, ya might just
Unlock the Dreamspell once and for all
Remember, December
The twenty-first day, the end of an Age
And yet it's just the,
Beginning once again, I can't fully comprehend
And the dark night cometh
Through the storms of the sea
Galiath is set free
And the Stone is once again seen
At last

Peaceful Apocalypse
03:26
|
|||
|
When the sun went down,
And the moon came up
I traded my eyes
One-thousand years, for every step,
Until the fractals rise
In a time capsule, our dimension merged
With a molten-breathing face
Now it's time to leave this twisted tent
In a sudden change of pace
Every step I take, finds a new word for nothing
It's time to cast this torch into the lake
Every step I take finds a new word for nothing
It's time to cast this torch into the lake
Sitting below the blazing sky
We don't seem to mind
It's quite alright if we don't try
To tell the rest, that we had a
Peaceful apocalypse, if only for a moment
Then the Earth is finished and everything upon it
We had a peaceful apocalypse, if only for a moment
Then the Earth is finished and everything upon it

Cosmosaic East Lansing, Michigan
Dec. 21, 2012 was never about the end of the world but rather the end of humanity's momentum towards ego-centric materialism
that has dominated and reached a peak in the 20th century of history. As the new millenium dawned, we took in the last breaths of this obsession
2012 is a marker point, as the wise Mayans knew long ago, as we shift gears and vibrations into a new Era for mankind
