Echoes (of Meaning)
03:42
|
|||
|
Enchanted minds
The dreamer kind
Those inspired by wisdom
Will never find
Unfettered youth
That lucky suite
With mere chance as companion
Defying truth
Echoes of life
Echoes of meaning for you
That same old theme
Makes me scream
Then back to my senses
I control the scene
The lucky ones
The funny ones
Never near comprehend
The chosen ones
Echoes of life
Echoes of meaning for you

Good Life
03:42
|

Happy, happy, what makes you happy, makes you strong
Goodness, goodness is key to happy says Cicero
Nature, nature, we must comply with in harmony
Desire, desire is what we need to shed to be free
The good life is confusing to the best of us
The good life is a mystery to most of us
But, the good life is simple when it speaks to us
The good life
Noble, noble, really noble is what we must be
Virtues, virtues are the purpose we should seek
Morals, morals bring the happy within our reach
Stoics, stoics, being stoic's the lifestyle we should preach
Listen to these lessons from Tusculum
Ancient, ancient, not foreign, derived from ambition
Happy, happy, what makes you happy makes you strong
Goodness, goodness is key to happy says Cicero
Building moral fiber on one's own
Happy doesn't come from what you own
As Epicurus would have held
Selfishness is rather why Rome fell

Tower of Destruction
03:47
|
|||
|
You walk on like your head will explode
Its how you feel from life's heavy load
You're in a trap with no way to get out
All you can do is sit there and pout
You can find peace at the end of the day
Once you've adopted an ironist way
Look deep within and you will see
Relax and enjoy what will be
You're locked inside a tower of destruction
You fool yourself to live
You're locked inside a tower of destruction
And, something's gotta give
You can break out from your iron cage
Once you stop following the latest rage
Forgive them for they do not understand
Walk on and give your friend a hand

Re-Ified
02:36
|
|||
|
It used to be abstract
Now it's futile
We've confused our facts
With pure symbols
Cancel all objectives
Replace them with signs
Bound for the subjective
And sinister designs
Nothing matters nothing counts except what's re-ified
Quality meets quantity supplanted by the re-ified
Nothing matters nothing counts except what's re-ified
Quality meets quantity supplanted by the re-ified
It all comes down to money
The only thing tangible
It's as sweet as honey
Deliciously deplorable
Manifest destiny
Thoughts made of steele
Simulated fantasy
More real than real
Will we ever see beyond the invisible?
Do we still have hopes or is it impossible?

The Stream
03:24
|
|||
|
It makes our souls
Fills in the hollow
Enabling spirit
Without and within it
Our minds our lives our breath our souls
Our beat our sense our eyes our whole
My mind my life my breath my soul
Bring me as well as all into the stream
From the black Sun
We all come from
Creating place
In time and space
Current flows by
Beyond you and I
Carrying a beckoning call
Transcending all

Obeline

|

She's Obeline
Coolest cat I've ever seen
Obeline
She's a fighter, she's extreme
A straight line to the heaven's far and wide
Ever present, incandescent, to the divine we must find
She's Obeline
And she came to my door
Obeline
And I melted to the floor
She's Obeline
No she ain't no jelly bean
Obeline
She's the coolest on the scene
She's Obeline

Balance
03:43
|
|||
|
Being Far or Near
Living there or here
Whether left or right, seeing what's not in sight
Turning darkness to light
Getting in or out
Whispering or shout
Whether false or true, being red or blue
Let's admit it all starts with you
'Cause balance is the key
Balance sets me free
On this we can might agree
Balance can help us see
Flying over or under
With a silence or thunder
Feeling up or down, with a smile or frown
Power is enlightening with sound
On the ground or in the air
Showing that we care
Thinking as global, Acting as local
These things ignite in us what's noble

Inner Sense
05:23
|
|||
|
Imagine
No compassion
Just robots
In slumber
Simply
No reaction
To others
In plunder
Deep inside we know its wrong
So when its time to be strong
Listen to the voice within
Embrace the song, take it in
There is wisdom in innocence
Listen to your inner sense
Don't be fooled
By false myths,
Misguided
Egocentrics
Do what's right
And you'll feel
Integrity
Is what's real

Take A Chance
03:39
|

|
You're in a trance don't want to dance You sit in silence glued to your TV
Your morbid stare can cut the air Like mutant ninja turtle blades to me
Apathy lobotomy in mutual synonymy Personified by your by you and your stare
You symbolize my other self It makes me sick it mars my health Such energy it takes to take a chance
You're in a rut you've turned to dust You'll drag me in if only you can reach me
It's in my power to resist It don't require any fist My own free will is strong enough to set me free
Robotized sterilized is what I see in your eyes Keep away from me with your non-ideas
You'd cut me down until I drown and sacrifice ideals for MTV
The hidden masses are just that They've no respect for individuality
They sit and gaze at the latest rave A radioactive screen controls their psyche
Mass media mass hypnosis is the corporate diagnosis
You can make a better life abolishing your every strife Just walk away from it and take a chance

How Am I Not Myself?
03:36
|
|||
|
Paddling a boat on Lake Betrayal
Consumed by a deluge of rhetoric
Washing over all that's mystic
And forcing a personal Holy Grail
Inner wisdom drowns in the current
History drowns in the past
Deceptions spring forth all too fast as
Inner visions came and went
How am I not myself?
By forgetting my purpose and place
How am I not myself?
By giving in and losing grace
Beaten down from external will, and
Mandates trapping the spirit
Pushing their way deep within it
Subsumed by norms twisted yet shrill
Yet one can rise from the carnage
To calm the mighty thunder from
Archetypal sages under
Each attempt to come of age
