Far As Far Run Thoughts
05:55

All around is dark
Hide into the womb
Close the door and fly
Far as far run thoughts
Lost, but safe
Faint glimpse leads above
Enter the realm of I
By ruling over your dream
Paint the maze
Inspect among the grass
Open the gate
And dissipate the clouds
All around is dark
Hide into the womb
Close the door and fly
Far as far run thoughts

Wait for the Tide
08:30

See the time
That you saved along your lives
Trapped and cold
Down in this place where it cannot thrive
Lay down gold
Get back coal
What you own
Now’s yours no more
«People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to
admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most
keenly were the children, because no one had time for them anymore. But time is life itself, and life resides
in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had.»
Their lies sound like the cure
But Pied Pipers lead these mice
Grey shades steal what is pure
And fade with nothing more than ice
So every moment you have lost
Every day you have not witnessed
Is now lying beyond a curtain
No glimpse can see through
Only patience and placidity
Will lead you across the smoke of burning time
While years have passed this fog will last forever
Unless you learn to wait for the tide

As Water
05:56
|

Is our way to perceive
The world we mold
Straight and clean as the water
When it sleeps in the well?
Or is water the lens
Through which light changes its course?
A thousand rays spread around
Truth can never be seen as a whole
We trust our sight
And cherish what we know
But do we ever see?
Is there real experience here in this flow?

Float with us in serenity
And accomplish our motionless journey
Behold the darkness defeated by communion
And the blazing light that flares from our might
I've walked by golden roads
And countless eyes have heard my steps
When the nights were bright
We wandered searching for slumber
When the nights were bright
Dreams were forgotten delight
In the city of light
Dreams were forbidden delight
Now floating in solitude
Pushed back by your will
Here in gloom I rest
Embraced by sleep

No Time for an End
05:59
|

Slither through the tunnel
Slither through its tears
Slip inside the mouth
Whose teeth look like spears
Open wide your eyes
For here exist no years
Do never close the door
Or freeze beneath your fears
Trapped in the bowels of the earth
Frantically waiting
And covered in centuries of ice
The dog now sees you’re terrified
And stares at your eyes
While you understand there’s no time for an end

Palace of the Living

I
Out of Paralysis
Quickly we must move
Crawl back, crawl!
To those beds we now refuse
II
The Earth is struggling
The light erupts, appalling
The suns are bowing
Forever she will sleep
Sweet grey clouds
Embrace her weeping mouth
We leave at once
To run fast through the south
Gather those who are still free
From the ants of wisdom
We shall blast the gates
Of the palace of the living
III
Night, can’t you hear this scream?
Moon, we’re going to kill your light
A boy forever ceased to dream
But yet he won his final fight
Behold this never-ending flight
This rail runs till the end of time
Through mountains and cliffs it rides
The sky now better fear our might
IV
Freed be our blood
To paint this daybreak
Sun, above this peak
You hide from your last days

Mater Mundi
05:39

For years I’ve been roaming
Trying to engrave your face
Mother
I’ve kissed the soil, and breathed its smell
I fought for life, and killed a man
I walked alone, and survived the world
Just to unveil the mystery you guarded
Mother
In the cellar I sat tied but
You, my friend, came down on steps of light
For long I’ve wandered
Along the streets of sin
So host me, my friend
Please host me, my friend
My hands are tired now
And still your picture lies in me
I feel you nearer
I feel your embrace
Without a mother, one cannot love.
Without a mother, one cannot die.

When the eyelids hug each other
And the board turns black
Perception fades out warmly
Welcomed by the sweet embrace
Of the fall
Subconscious takes over
While vibrations change
Memories stick to the brain
And gracefully the soul
Flies away
Migrating from body to body
Spirits collect knowledge
To be shared with the whole
Joining the dance of the archangels
Wake up, quietly feel your body
While the light turns on
Nothing’s changed since your last dawn has
Come
Now, the sun is high
Nothing different strikes your mind
You can’t know your essence slipped
In all you’ll ever see
