Gaia
02:04
|

Can you tell, what makes a living being
Is it root, core, sense
Is it the words, that come from all around you
Is it the world, you seem to see
Our freedom codependent
Gaia, mother, we are one
Do you exist and do I care
Our roots entangled, intertwined
Our freedom codependent
Gaia, mother, we are one
Our freedom codependent
Gaia
Mother
We are one
Do you exist and do I care
Our roots entangled, intertwined
Our freedom codependent
Gaia, mother, we are one

Leviathan
05:51
|
|||
The condition of man is war
Of everyone against everyone
I build the walls that keep you safe
I toil to see your children grow
Unharmed by existence or you
I am the jailer to your lust
Unharmed by existence
I am the jailer to your exaltation
I
I am she
She that is to govern a whole nation
The condition of man is war
Of everyone against everyone
So, you think I‘m order amid chaos
A little blood makes the grass grow faster
Carve wood and chips will fall, will fall
Until the woods are reduced to splinters
Among the clarity of graves
I
I am he
He that is to govern a whole nation
Must read himself, not this or that
Particular man; but mankind
Think for yourself! Think for yourself
Because it´s up to you to make this world a better place
It´s about empathy, humility, and respect
To seek peace and follow it

My Eyes Closed
02:30
|
|||
A brick wall. A brick wall
My eyes wander. This is my cage
My closed door. This red mirror
Myself, another, other
This is my cage. My eyes closed
All names are there. A world of its own
The sound of horizons
Beyond the wall
Am I the only one to hear
What makes us human is not
Is not too see the brick wall
To give it a name
What makes us human is to hear
Is to hear beyond the wall
To smell the scent of roses unseen
The sound of horizons
Beyond the wall
Am I the only one to see

Drown
03:33
|
|||
There‘s no soul deeper than that
Of the sapling you break
The wail of a single creature
Dying shatters the whole
A single broken link disrupts the machine
What you believe you understand is only…
A faint reflection of truth
The dying, the killing, unacknowledged for centuries
You struck down my children, poisoned the soil
When you struck for the branches, you damaged the roots
When you struck for the limbs, you pierced the heart
Now drown in the tears of the mother
Unlike the leaves my roots have no end
Unlike your beliefs I have no end
I‘m digging through earth, through graves, through dirt
I am digging through you
Should I shrink from your touch
The taint is poison, yet I drink
I am yours
For the taking, I will vanish as you will
I will vanish as will you

Manifold
06:46
|

You are digging for a sense of…
I dreamt I saw myself in a rabbit hole
Digging for a sense of self
I saw myself in shards of glass
Manifold
I saw myself in you
There is truth somewhere
Somewhere
I think I heard creaks
I heard voices from behind
I saw a glow through the skylight
I heard an echo of what was and what is to come
I heard a record of myself
Wailing, screaming, laughing
On the edge of town
A hedge of thorns
We sit on the outside looking out
Feeling the soft sting of thousand pricking needles in our back
And civilize our backs to the roses
Our backs to their thorns
Are we heading out
Into the woods
Into the wilderness

Hysteria
02:44
|
|||
The blink of an eye
It makes you shiver, and freeze, and scream
They wielded their power over you
Broke your body as they would a seal
They wield their power over you
They drag you out and put you on display
To admire your madness
Help comes from a primal scream
But there‘s light from a word
A world where truth is revealed
Where the devastations of their power are exposed
A light that makes them small
Expose their weakness
It was only a dream
It was only a dream, they say
But they can never put it back to rest
They can never make it sleep soundly again
Again, again, again

Freedom Of People
02:04
|

Liberation
A condition of lust
A condition of joy
A constitution that honors
The freedom of all
A condition of fairness
A condition of justice
A state that fosters equality of all
Liberate
Liberate
Liberation
Foundation of our society
Constitution for a modern state
This common good is ours
A condition of fairness
A condition of justice
A state that fosters equality
Liberation

I Am Demon
01:29
|
|||
I am she
Looking from such great heights
I am a thousand eyes
Trapped in glass, drowning in honey
I, the fly
The thousand eyes
I, the fly
I am demon
I am above and below and beyond
As I gaze onto you
You stare back
Will you come at me this last time
Will I flee
Will I flee
I am he
Mocking you from this height
Mocking you from this height
I, the fly

New Approach
03:39
|
|||
Means to an end
Worship the purpose
Limit cognition to what is to be done
Limit experience to what we expect
Limit your gaze to closer stars
The ceiling suffices
A new approach, another set, another set of eyes
Another way to identify, identify the lies
Close the books that tell you otherwise
Don’t divide
Don’t dissent
There is no end to this system
Don’t divide
Don’t dissent
There is no end to this system
No voice for another truth or is there…
A new approach, another set, another set of eyes
Another way to identify, identify the lies
A brand new room to look into
Uncontaminated by dust of old
A new approach
A brand new room

Infinite Nothing
02:28
|
|||
Faster, faster still
Devoid of meaning
Speed in infinite nothingness, faster still
Worlds turn
The mass of men leads lives of quiet desperation
From this chalice each of us drinks
Searching a potion, finding poison
Give me a light and a mirror to see myself as I want to see myself
Break all the dead lights
Humanity forget
And wash yourself in the light of our dying sun
Tear down the walls and wash yourself in the light of our dying sun

Bones Of Utopia
07:43
|
|||
What will you build using my blueprint
A fortress, a crypt for the living
And what will you use
The stones of your father‘s house and the bones of mine
Do you have the mind
To use new stones
Bricks of your own making
Can you shape your bones to fit
And can you draw maps with new colors
Can you make this house a living thing
To use new stones
Bricks of your own making
Can you shape your bones to fit
The mark of these bones hold strength still
To build a home for us and the next ones
