Dualism - 2011

-Arms Of The Sea-

Man, born
Locked down by water
Hear the rustle spat out from the corner
As we are thrown
Right into the arms of the sea

Sheer bliss
The dense cold collides
The cliffs loomed up in the distance
As they exhale, inhale

We must be born anew
To paint our portraits like the way we are
We must learn to breathe again
To reach the core of patterns in our souls

Maybe we are something we are not
It gives us a reason to be
The spine of our soulless approach
That gives us a reason to die

Grand your light to the sun
And turn your back on the shells
At the shores, the sea

Sow your seeds into the soil
And recall the ideas that we shared
In the years that we spent to progress

Oversee to be free, mesmerize
And try to embrace the arms that come forth
By the days of resurgence stream

Change me
Drain all blood from the wounds
And sleep your woes, slumbering
Shed your skin and swim
Right into the arms of the sea

The waves lifting, rising from the oceans
The undertow breaths again
As we are thrown
Right into the arms of the sea

The dense cold collides
The cliffs loomed up in the distance
As they exhale, inhale

Maybe we are something we are not
That gives us a reason to be
The spine of our mental approach
That gives us a reason to live

-Black Horses Stampede-

The wind, it unfolds me
It takes me to the fields of no conceit
A thousand piercing voices
Cutting through the white noise as it
Drains me for I am
Merely a cloud that is drifting
By the trail of raindrops
Falling on their frozen faces

Something inside
That stops bleeding from my eyes
My eyes ache from outside
I must resist

My flesh is weak
This spoken word that guides my blood
Sipping through the noise
Approaching like
Black horses stampede

My heart beats with sorrow
It cries and fades away
Find me a way to pull through
To obey my reason

For the times that I came to the point that I couldn't believe
Chasing the waves of decay
I will follow the path to release
There is nothing that is holding me down

I can feel it is time to leave
Voices speak and echo in
Empty beds of a salted sea
Unfolding winds ongoing

As I stare through the windows I have been drawn by the myth of the pure
No fear, it takes me on the winds of unknowing

Like fallout through fire I will dance on the wire
Which will lead me to legends that we all so admire
As we crave for the future I speak my desires
So these tormenting thoughts will commit suicide

-Reaching Home-

The ocean wants me
Never had to look under water
Has it been ruled
The never ending current pulls me through
Waiting, waiting
How is has been flowing since I was a boy
Swimming, lightning
Coming home, I am going home

Wash it all away, end up strong
These eye have grown, these eyes have shown
Watching the horizon, hoping for
The cliffs to rise above the shore

The tide rises far above
The sky fades into the sea
The awareness slowly ebbs away
As light surely will find me

As calm as inside a womb
As the skies are filled
With shades of gloom
The watchers of time have foretold
That this life will find its way back home

Even a man who fights the cold
Fears the depths of his own soul
Under the stars that share his light
Sinking slow and reaching home

-Sanguine Draws The Oath-

Turning away from everything that is near
Trying to fill the void that appears so clear
Could I see it coming - consuming all of me
It is time to decide - this is right where I stand

Could I just read the rhymes until I feel nothing more
Then it tends to be so easily - I will fade

These nerve-stretching seizures - phlegmatic to the physics
A desecration to the intellect
They are preaching their aesthetics

Waiting for this moment to redirect the pain
To make the forecast be compromising for
Parading int his pitch-black vulturous scene I will break
The oath of all restraint

Dream, before the time arrives
The earth will awake - anxious state of mind
Leaving this body motionless

Turning black once more - the eyes are wide open

"The great black yonder
Is pelting icicles upon my nerves
I melt them to rain
The water that flows out of the horizon
A clammy sensation of my persistence"

Casting the hunger for neurotic seizures
Serving the syndrome

Shedding the anger of everlasting darkness
Feeding the illusion

Despair is my own generous gesture to death

Turning away from everything that is near
Trying to fill the void that appears so clear

A seismic shock, unleashing revolution
Shedding skin, down drift exclamations
Hypnagogic state, endless lucid dreaming
Perpetual sleep, as we share the conclusion of

Shedding the anger of everlasting darkness
Feeding the illusion

-Consonant Hemispheres-

The rain has come
He surrenders to his fate
It is hiding him
From he sounds of his mental state

...And the rain falls
...And the rain pours down

It is fair to say
That he drifted
On the salt of the open sea
And the words that bleed in his mouth
Carry him, drag him to the deep

Heave your own arms
Caught adrift
Embrace the shade

The drama is torn asunder
Thus I fall inside my fate
Waiting for the fever
And I will sing to my crusade

Between the barren and fruitful
I got lost int he daily grind
There is no way that supports my
Dark conceptions to unwind

I am the art for the people
The apple of their crying eyes
Missioner for the seeking
Chewing their lives with contempt

Like a storm front that he precedes
It is the sound of the dreamer that screams
Bashing clocks he had always wondered
But never spoke of
It is the strength, the weakness
And the perfect in between

Facing everything that he walked upon
The eye had hurried by
Compromising the smallest
Fractions of a particle

-Burning The Midnight Oil-

[Instrumental]

-Singularity-

This world has changed
Before our eyes - we can't control

Waiting to find
Waiting here with nothing more to say
Goodbye to all I have said
Was waiting for decay
Here I am, waving to the waves

Catch the dream before we are
Left inside and everything is gone
Catch the dream before someone else is
Setting forth an illusive state of war

The shimmering flocks of shadows that
Surround the walls we are looking at
Mark of silence

It tells me to hide
It hides the divide
Me versus man
Bear the silence

Tell me, mother: how can I turn back old times
Maybe we are all asleep and die inside to taste
The urge to feel so much more
Closing all my windows to embrace

"Our identities are stories
With holes in their language
Slumbering, at the height of what
Could have been synchronicity or
Parallels in multiple dimensions

Can we find any reference
In this abstract color field
This ambivalence, this dualism
Can we see the details of a bigger entity
What is the antidote
To the triviality of modern life"

Find the words to completion
Take me there, where I belong
Fallen into harsh delusion
Drawing circles to my illusion
To reflect me and my diffusion
Waves keep lashing down on the old shores

Sunlight sails the soothing silence

I am spitting letters
Paraphrased in sand
My words are set on fire

-Minor Earth, Major Skies-

Cursed we are above all contentment
Breaking the evolution
Our history swept away
We are shattered by our prey
Lashing, spoiling
Staring through he eyes of decay

Comfort is losing contrast in this light
Ignorance eradicating
This life draws to an end

We need to find the strength to put the earth in motion
Behold, ignorance is our new messiah
Abundant rays, all light from the sun

Gaze into the fire
And the soothing winds

In our eyes, in our nerves
As our colors are fading out
Just like birds in the storm
So let the squall come, waking us

"As tidal waves hit solid ground
No permanence is ours
We are a wave that flows
To fit whatever form it finds"

Minor Earth, major skies
The summit of the syntax of all life
Is eroding along the path
The great ocean road
And its walls that always change
Are still rising up
The distribution of energy
In dissonant directions
A shift of paradigms
Are these enough answers to our questions

As we dive
We might see a new dawn
This life that carries on
Promenading through the storm

The everlasting chase
The ways that seize the days
Predicted to amaze
Serenity will pave
The inner state of grace

As tidal waves break down
Consciousness collides
No permanence is ours

-Stoic Resignation-

I see the light
So bright, overthrown
The life of a Caesar will end
Again, the mourning in his eyes
Life will not feed on him

Strong asthenia
He trades his mind
The answers he needs
In the eye of the emperor
Relinquish his fate
Burying the beacon in time
See, open my eyes and stare
But who am I to focus them

I see his mind burnt down
The beauty of burden
Do not underestimate the enemy's gaze
The answers are there
Life will not feed on him

It is real
Focus my eyes again
But why should I open them
Only when time collides
Hide and the savior relents

Now that everything is reclaimed
And I don't own a thing
Once, the life that has been led needs to be revised

Every step along the way
Has been a stone to bear
Whether the path will still lead me
Followed it will be

There will be relief
There will be light towards the end
Strolling through the open fields
And nothing will impend

No more time to make amends
The boundary here awaits
Lingering with a head held high
I face to seal my fate

And here I stand alone
For the fire took
What had been revived
Present time is over

Now think, can you take this
When everything is so pitiful
Did you ever know
It all could come down on you
As one struggles to control
Foreclosure ends before you know

I feel the light
I can feel it down on my skin
Got to face the dark
To survive in the light
Let go of this world
Take it down
Bring it all down

-Foreclosure-

Here it falls again
Exile for the damned
Waking the yesterdays
Wading through the mind

Take the foe from the eyes of a god
And fly on the wings of a chariot
Life will take what you gather
Curse you and play dead
Reverse and reset
Again and again

-Sketches From A Motionless Statue-

Can a man stop to realize
There is nothing to stand for
Reach out, our minds combined
Bonded by thoughts

Here is a secret world
We are the same way

Waking up and see the dance around
Of a broken harmony
They are feeding off the winters
In our heads
Can't make us wondering
For everything is much the same
We are still being tied by

Shame, like fighting underwater
Motionless, for we all know
We shall burn, heavenless

Blame me for every
Lacerated actions and efforts

Manage the endeavor
I pledge the open source
Conduct the overlapping
Elements of time
Waking the yesterdays
Wading through the mind
Waiting to escape the drifted sands

Breathe the open wounds
That is what it feeds
Statement to the old remorse
Consolate, eat the flesh
I can't take
What will be the link

Breathe, the open source
That is what it greeds
Statement to the old remorse
Contrition, harsh regret
I can't take
What will be the link

Waking the yesterdays
Wading through the mind
Waiting to escape the drifted sands

Break the chain

Elevation of the sewers
The waking of the waters
The heritage from the fathers
To their daughters to renew us

We are disciples
We live our own way
We are persuaders
Defend our own space

Here is the secret world
We are the same way
Keep it in your mind
We are the same way

Phenotype - 2016

-Oceans Collide-

These mystifying thoughts
obstructing the objective
Enclosing on the light trying to flee
From it's opposite

When walls are collapsing earth is convulsing
Skies are falling and oceans collide

Reality, phasing in and out

Foundations that crumble the ground is eroding
Asphyxiating air and oceans collide

Desperately searching for answers to unravel
This tormenting disputed point

Avoiding debris escaping the substance
Nomadically wandering on the boulevard of ruptured chimeras
Stumbling on a crooked paving stone
Resembling the perjury withholding to take measures
In the right direction

While everything upon us is raging before the eyes
We can't acknowledge where it is
Where we should reside

Keep moving stay focused look forward
If push comes to shove we'll be turning the tides

Carrying the weight lifting the shades trying to face
A conscious state, phasing in and out
A fierce but effective approach

Subconsciously grasping

Any shape or form which opens up my universe
While standing in potentially unexplored territory

Stumbling on a crooked pining stone
Resembling the perjury
Withholding m take measures in the right direction

Subconsciously grasping the pieces that will forge into
The universe I'm standing in today

Subconsciously grasping

-New Horizons-

Hold the calm breeze today
The congregation stays
The tired fall asleep

As their time is swept away
Their view starts to fade
As clear minds give in to reason
But we found a way to welcome new times

Asking questions that will change our lives
This is the time to turn the tide

We are going to feel this
We are going to be this
Rise and go against this entity
Rise above the sky

All we can do now is face it
We are done hiding like faceless
Mindless minions
Always driven to malice

Bovini

We're to adjust our behaviour
I can feel there is something, someway, somehow
That can help disestablish this hierarchy

Finding a way to welcome new times
The fear of questions fades

Eyes can save themselves
Just as long as they don't look down
Open minded with both feet on the ground

Maybe guiding life using reason to clear the line of sight
Will be our way to welcome new times

Asking questions that will change our lives
This is the time to turn the tide

We are going to feel this
We are going to be this
Rise and go against this entity
Rise above the sky

Face it
We are done hiding like faceless
Mindless minions
Always driven to malice

Bovini

We're to adjust our behaviour
I can feel there is something, someway, somehow
That can help disestablish this hierarchy

Finding a way to welcome new times
The fear of questions fades

We are standing on the verge of a new horizon
Welcome the new day

-Shaping A Single Grain Of Sand-

Starting with the sound the sound of a drop
Shaping a single grain of sand – seeping through time

Draining the enigma the hunt is on
And as fear dictates the design for the grand escape
And it's slowly breaking down the branches

Breaking through negative energy
Turn the flow forcing this gravity to its knees

A crumbling statue decimates the posture
Leaving but a shadow of the former self
The eyes turning from crystal to blur
Revealing but a fraction of the brightness they once had

Spiraling further into the deep
Losing grip tearing this soul away at the seams

Breaking free from this energy
Turn the flow breaking through

Tearing this soul away at the seams
Forcing this gravity to its knees

Circuits overload flooded with dopamine
Receptors malfunction dendritic trees wither and turn to dust
Washed away by a drop shaping a single grain of sand

The price paid becomes irrelevant
Reflections on actions become impossible
The descent continues
As the ties to the surface grow thinner and thinner
You're disconnected

Sunken in deep slumber this silence soothes my thought
There's no stronger connection to ourselves than to be alone

Dragging water into the sea throwing fire at the sun
Breathing air into the wind digging up earth before the avalanche

I'm breaking through

Washed away by a drop
Shaping a single grain of sand
Seeping through time
Leaving a
Drained enigma

-Illuminate The Trail-

The heat melts my wings
They are not mine
I haven't earned them yet
This fantasy still lives
Virtues come to mind

They are forsaken
The only thing that matters is
Reflection of choices made under stress
Saying sorry only mends a broken pride

Taking actions is the only way
That we can win this fight
Cause and reaction as primary fuel for curiosity
As there is no final question
And no final answer
Doubt but do not fear

And you will find truth
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But it might not be as you've always imagined
Do not be afraid
Always question everything

Empirically revoke impossibilities and embrace

Go find the answers
Let me clarify that
Knowledge comes from questions

Illuminate the trail

For generations to come

Lift the obstructing veil
Create transparent vision

Eliminate the boundaries
Imagine the unimaginable
And broaden the horizon

Always question everything
For these are true revelations
And this is the time for change
Our pathetic excuse for a civilization needs this
Just one enlightening thought
Amongst billions can make a difference
The past is evidence for not this fact alone

Our secluded procreation
Fails to see
What is in front of their magnified eyes
As knowledge floods humanity
While leaving our common sense behind
So let evidence guide you

And feel the weight being lifted
Off your shoulders
Breathe freely
Making it easy to keep
An open mind
One enlightening thought
Is all it takes to move forward
And leave the cloud of unknowing behind

And you will find truth
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But it might not be as you've always imagined
Do not be afraid

-Meander-

[Instrumental]

-Erosion-

Secluding the infant's reliance
Self-indulgence is reigning
As the redundant has been denied

Standing vast since adolescence
Still susceptible like a nursling
Desperately longing for the roots to grow deeper

But they can't be reached as concrete walls
Have been built around them

Solely walking the earth
Searching for affirmation
As the heart knows
Heredity can't flee from its precedent
The benighted progenitor

Vigorous still
Inattentive of what his actions composed

The trees are saving themselves
With branches reaching towards the skies

While the powers of our great mother are trying to smite them down

She's hearing their cries
Vainly pleading to keep the trunks strong and whole
As tribes need the soil to be nourishing

The shepherd reverses rolls
As the wolf becomes the prey

Flames arise from the ashes
Left behind by the conflict

While the convict is wearing its mask like a Proteus
Denying the torment that has been inflicted

Leading his life like a Proteus
As no history lies behind him

-The Fourth Prime-

Seven virtues
And seven sins alike
They represent our own creation
Like seven man made wonders
Glorious in concept

Subjected to our own devastation
We recognize occurrences
And categorize our surroundings
While giving meaning to words

All conceived from the urge to understand
And now used against those who don't

The fourth prime has its story to tell
So much meaning bestowed upon one number
A single word
All because the world has to make sense

Seven fatal flaws
Encouraged by seven continents
Lived by through seven eras of time
All leading to the downfall of man

The question is not how but when?

Signs of adaptation surround us in numbers
Recognized and described by man-made words

Endless theories of mutating evolving revolving spirals

Cannot convince that change should be next in line
Abiding the law of gravity

Hovering into nothingness
Accelerating down the scales of coexistence
Beyond the point where no man lives for himself

Seven fatal flaws
Encouraged by seven continents
Lived by through seven eras of time
All leading to the downfall of man

All conceived from the urge to understand
And now used against those who don't

The question is not how but when?

Seven fatal flaws
Encouraged by seven continents
Lived by through seven eras of time
All leading to the downfall of man

The question is not how but when?

-Zman-

[Instrumental]

-Timeless-

Last time I have discovered
Roads to my loneliness

An ocean divided
Like red seas in fairy tales

We're always running away
Away from our deepest fears

Hiding in shadows
Until the path is clear

Red seas in fairy tales

Our path have crossed many times
Last time I have discovered

We run
Hiding
Until the path is clear

I heard you crawling
Carrying your burden
Down the yearning hills
We set a flame the beacons
Envious whispers

I heard you crawling
Carrying your burden
Down the yearning hills
We set a flame the beacons
Envious whispers
Burning behind me

I'm not keeping pace
Straight forward focused eyes

I'm not keeping pace
A scorching, soothing fire's embra
