Samadhi - Prelude

Solve mentem
A molestis
Mentem ad concretum dirige
Unum e jhanas intra

Resign To Surrender - A New Age Dawns - Pt. IV

Can't move an inch
But for the act to
Leave fingerprints

Freedom farewell
Look in the lens
Answer the questions
Are you a threat?
Nec plus ultra
After all the grabbing, it's time to bite the dust
Leave behind the breaches of my trust
Cleaning up the mess is up to us
Non plus ultra
Now that all hands are tied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Demolition, the damaged pride

The price of ambition
Nec plus ultra
The current system leads to profit seeking deeds
Leave behind the traces of our blood
Now the course for change is up to us
Non plus ultra

After all the grabbing
It's time to bite the dust
Leave behind the breaches of my trust
Cleaning up the mess is up to us

Access is now denied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Intuition, forgotten guide
The price of suppression
Terre eos vi
Augearis
Perde eos vi
Nobis imperium
Can't move an inch
But for the act to
Leave fingerprints

Freedom farewell
Look in the lens
Answer the questions
Will you behave as required ?
When we think the end is here
With nearly all faith gone
There is hope along the way
And there a new age dawns

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those
who falsely believe that they are free
[Goethe]

Nobis victoria
Non plus ultra

Now that all hands are tied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Demolition, the damaged pride
The Price of Ambition

Access is now denied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Intuition, forgotten guide
The price of suppression

Can't move an inch
But for the act to
Leave fingerprints
Freedom Farewell
Look in the lens
Answer the questions
Will you behave as required ?

When we think the end is here
With nearly all faith gone
There is hope along the way
And there a new age dawns

Chasing our addictions we're stunting our growth
Once we get rid of this ballast we'll be able to
Restore the balance and distribute our wealth

Unleashed

Keep hiding
All colors fading
Desiring
They're coming for me

Back in the day I can recall that,
My thoughts were unclouded and saint
There was no black state in the walls of my memory
Now there's a haze pushing me side a ways,

And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, lurking me cold in disparity

There was I meant to be
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

[Refrain:]
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Release my soul forever
I have no regret to be free
I'll exists again
No more lost endeavor
Nothing to contain
When I'm free

Call and decline so it defines me
It's falling away far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time
The human eye

Where am I meant to be ?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Again and again only to be myself

[refrain]

Time is a concept and always the first thing to fade
Hiding in a weakness something we can never refain
Years of crewl -- decay and despair
Are we a wrong perception something we can never regain\repair

No one to blame, facing me random
Nothing will ever explain, so it reclines

Where was I meant to be
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

When will I be unleashed
It's not the way it should be
Again and again only to be myself,

[refrain]

Martyr Of The Free Word

Speaking interpretation
A conversation can take a sudden turn
And reaching the point of violence
Because your silence left you without a hand to hold

Your past will lead you on to make...

Making a final judgement
Based on your bias will never bring you forward
Terror should never guide you
For even the fearful can take a beating in the end

Suspicion gets you nowhere

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone
Left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made
Into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech

Requiem aeternam dona eis,
Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis

Missing a simple context
A mental weakness can throw you out of balance
Listen, respect each other
Then you'll discover
It wasn't [...]
It's not too late for mercy

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone
Left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made
Into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech

Our Destiny

So many days we've spent together
Trying to get ahead with our dreams
Now we have come to the goal forgotten
Hurting within left us torn

The road is open
We find out way through ties where broken
So the means to the end
Was the peace that was meant
To be ours since it all began

We fight to win

I won't give up, we'll fight to win
To move along from where we'd been
I'll sing this song for you again
I'm looking up around the bend
We're so much stronger than before
Our fraying edges on the mend

Life as we know would be so different
Had our paths continued the same
Seizing the day with all that's offered
The good and the bad,
The clear and the haze

To move along from where we'd been
I'll sing this song for you again
I'm looking up around the bend
We're so much stronger than before
Our fraying edges on the mend

Don't let go

So hard to face what we've done wrong
We shared a life that can't be
We cannot hide from destiny
So hard to face what had gone wrong
We've got to make this work
And give it our all

Give our all and won't let go
Waiting so long for an answer
We've been waiting oh, so very long and
Now we're ready to accept our fate

Our melodies will be remembered
forever and ever
Our memories will fade away
when the leaves have reached the soil

I won't give up this fight
The sacrifices made
We gave our all
And won't let it go to die in vain

I'll sing this song again
We're stronger than before
We have the chance of lifetime
We'll never close this door

Kingdom Of Heaven - A New Age Dawns - Pt. V

[I. Hold In Derision]

Pioneering, big breakthroughs
Proceeded by the opposition
Hold in derision all that's new
Afraid to lose their own esteem

Scorn shall be directed at the genius
Represses subtle theories of the light
to the questions of life

Quantum physics lead us to
Answers to the great taboos
We create the world around us
God is every living soul

Science, spirituality
Will have to meet along the way and
We need new drifts, another view
Expand our grip on the cryptic soul

Hope is more than a postponed disappointment

Non intellegens nil explicas
Videre nolens nil capies
Non intellegens nil explicas
Incognita non vides

Open your Sahasrara

[II. Children Of The Light]

Light creates us all
Pride will make us fall
Life is meaningful
Life delight us all

Light creates us all
Pride divides us all
Life is meaningful
The soul survives us all

Misled by science
Our wake up call
Conditioning cannot fool us 'till the end

[III. Bardo Thödol]

Guide us safety
through the gates of death

[IV. Paragons Of Perfection]

Nothing here will be the same
I'll see the world through different eyes and
I was given clarity
And the wisdom I can't deny

All that we can never see
Until we leave this frail existence
Is just a shadow of reality
Death is not the final instance

It's not your time
You have to go back... back!
Now!

No, no, I don't want to return,
please let me stay here, don't make me go back

Go back, you've got work to do

We're not alone, we are all one.

Nothing here will be the same
The smallest bit is as big as nature
Our limited capacities
Gives us trouble to comprehend

We are linked in every way
And we're strong as our weakest fragment
Every word that we convey
Is an act with consequences

[V. The Harsh Return]

Light creates us all
Pride will make us fall
Life is meaningful
Life delight us all

Light creates us all
Pride divides us all
Life is meaningful
The soul survives us all

Greed will make us fall
Light will bind us all

The Price Of Freedom - Interlude



Burn To A Cinder

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh-oh!
Oh-oh!

Deep in the night,
Coming the violence
Sweet with the danger

I have realice
Another law in
Another contender

In their right rising
To burn to a cinder

Their coming times
Awaiting the answers

I never let them strike you dawn
I find to fly in the way

Is very away to turn the mind
Of a very stranger

Until the days is waiting to use
To were my offender

A primal faith no convinced
To burn to a cinder

I need to laid warning and beauty

I never let them strike you dawn
I find to fly in the way
I felt in my behind
I never let them brake you now
Keep all the moments

[Refrain:]
Give me answers to my prays
I never I could face to glow
Your the light I see to
Face the faith and bless the fire,
Give me answers to my prays
I'll carry on the way to back
Give me sign to see you,
Never wait, you stand to keep the flame

I never let them stake you dawn,
I felt to find the way I back
And lost behind
I never let them brake you now,
Keep all the one men

[Refrain]

Why can't time live with you ?
For heaven I will be pray
To the words I faith the
[...] true

Tides Of Time

You were always there to hold my hand
When times were hard to understand
But now the tides of time have turned
They keep changing

Seasons range, but you remain the same
A steady heart, a sun to reign
You'll be the light that's shining bright
High above me

Autumn cold, losing heart

We're leaves meant to fall
There's a meaning to all
That fades

Freezing winds were stained by warming words
That touch your healing to the heart
That treasure every lesson learned
'til they immerse

Fight her face
Wash his pain

We will answer the call
There's a meaning to all

Sing forth Malachi
To sow along earth dreams
Filling needs that can be as perfect alone

Frail is our beauty in the end
But all we count is sentiment
A memory stays to guide the way and whisper
Don't lose sight, don't deny

We're leaves meant to fall
There's a meaning to all

Sing forth Malachi
To sow along earth dreams
Filling needs that can be as perfect alone
A symphony resulting in our minds
Guides us through what we knew
Uncovered in life

Sometimes I feel like I don't have the words
Sometimes I feel like I'm not being her
And then I fear I'm feeling nothing more

Sometimes I feel I don't want to change
And think we all have to rearrange
And now I feel there's no more losing me

Sing forth Malachi
To sow along earth dreams
Filling needs that can be as perfect alone
A symphony resulting in our minds
Guides through - Cause you hear me
As you do - As you lead me
Making sure once we all uncover it all

Deconstruct

If we could see ourselves, the mirror would reflect insanity
Instead we camouflage the flaws that lie within
Condone the suffering we witness as we mingle casually
We need to right ourselves, or else we will derail

Aiming too high
You are bound to fail
Patience is a vital virtue
That you'll never have

Don't force me to believe
We're caught up in the greed
'cause I just care for me
To break it, we'll need everyone
Think it through: unite is the only way

A raging tragedy ignored will have its justice, finally
Distress and poverty is everyone's disease
We'll come to realise for all we've done
there is a price to pay
Yet hope is never lost, there always is a way

Trumping the game
Is no easy way
Enterprise and discipline
Will pay off in the end

If we ever could look into fate's mirror
We would never have ended up here
We're distracted by every sin committed
It should always be ever so clear

If we ever look
We would never be here

Don't force me to believe
I'm never needing anyone
I only care for me
I'm thinking through
And mine's the only way

We are caught up
In our failure
Now our union
Is our savior
It's the only way

If we ever
We would never
If we're clever
We're together

Semblance Of Liberty



White Waters

I see a silhouette, liquid that moves
Skin like a pearl in the sea
I cannot resist this, her voice in the wind
But is it my eyes are deceived ?
Is it you I see ?

Lie down in my arms
Trust what you see
Smooth your brow, you will be with me
To find your relief

Gazing at whitecaps, coming so close
Everything's suddenly clear
Numb with the aching, and still I am waiting
The water is pulling me near
Would you welcome me ?

Lie down in my arms
Try not to breathe
Quiet love, you are now with me
You need no words to speak

For my mistakes, I am to blame
Never believed that it was all meant to fall
I'd give my life, to have you near once again
Take me away, would you forgive me ?

Design Your Universe - A New Age Dawns - Pt. VI

We're blind and eager
Avarice will set us back to blank
Those who wager all will have to name a reason
If you can't let go, you will end up empty handed
If you can't control, you'll live your life in vain
Who decides about my time to come?
Who is able to break through the circle of life and doom?
Don't look back
Keep on track to break the curse
Take the chance
Design your universe
We can't undo what we have done
So show us now what we've become
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness
We can't evade our destiny
So show responsibility
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness
To take for taking's sake
Will leave a path of loss and strain
And endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason
If you can't let go, you will end up empty handed
If you can't control, you'll live your life in vain
Who decides about what's true or false?
Who is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes?
The time has come, we have to see
That total wisdom is in reach
The time has come to colour in the lines
We must identify the signs
So many people are full of hate
While love and light are in their reach
So many people will harm themselves
But life can be so beautiful
So many people will idolize
While their own success is in their reach
Don't forget you're able to
Design your own universe
Find your balance, sink into rumination
Ipsum te reperies
Potire mundorum
Potire omnis mundi
