Red Tide
05:01
|

Open all the windows and let the cold air in
The infection grows like a child
Send for the messenger to take the first shot
Sharp words cut deeper when the needle is hot
Burning through my system I can feel the heat
The tide of retrogression has taken his seat
You don’t have to bow down
To the monster on a throne
Hoping for a reason to breathe a little deeper
The stain is spreading wild
Wading through the shallow end of life is safe
'Till you get pounded by an angry tidal wave
Fire in the ocean
Fire in the sea
Cold blue water is burning me
To find the antidote you must look within
Look at yourself decompiled
Break down the elements of the carnal mind
Following your instincts will leave you blind
Strapped to a table under halogen lights
The side effects no longer mild
The world is only what it seems to you
As you watch the red flow out into the blue
Fire’s in the ocean rising
Fire’s in the sea comprising
Cold blue water choking down and burns inside of me

Transition
06:38
|

From pain this life has changed me
Forever remembered the ones embraced
Among the silence comes my strength
Away, deceived, chose to displace
Pushing away the negativity
Accepting this life’s a mystery
Changing my future from history
Moving from past to set myself free
Elements have caged my tranquil sky
Shedding all the light that turned to night
Forgotten for the call more so than before
Time for a new transition and to be reborn
Site seen the eyes were blinded
Hands shake the pain was terrorizing
Mouth choked with no words foretold
Mind stuck while my conscience folds
Subconsciously this is my acceptance
Concisely this was not his vengeance
Expressing this life is from descendants
Opened up my life enjoy this ride
Now transcend… from what was a far cry
Now transcend… for what is mine
Now transcend… for my own good side
Transition... transition... of truth

Ricochet

Riding across the desert sand
Not giving up what I crave my sin
Looking back on the rear view mirror
Letting go my family sake for death
Striving for one more kick
Thinking this won't make a stick
Giving in one last sin
Something had to hit the bin
It's okay I chose my life
It's okay they can live and let die
This choice is my fault
Selfish acts for dreaded times
Captured and cuffed against my will
Shamed for deeds that now have no thrill
Friends to choose have come and gone
Sitting in my cell knowing what was wrong
Asking myself is there some hope
Realized life is more than one joke
Leaving behind this shed of guilt
Moving forward with life what a thrill
Every action that is made has put me in this place
Every reaction that was made was my displace

Awakenings
04:53
|

Awaken in the raining night
Thunder sounds
Awaken upon the blinded site
Lighting surrounds and shocks living all around
Awaken in the raining night
Thunder sounds
Awaken upon the blinded site
Lighting surrounds and shocks living all dead now
Light strikes, fire breaks, white flames
Burning all around
Earth Shakes, quiver quakes, sites changed
Tumbling to the ground
Awaken in the raining night
Thunder sounds
Awaken upon the blinded site
Lighting surrounds
Afraid of digging my head in the ground
Break up those thoughts killing inside
Refrained from those shattered dreams
Take up the chance to better embrace
Shine on through this dreaded space
Wake up foretold changing tides
Time to move onto a better place
Wake up foretold into outer space

Common Era
04:38
|

Electric lights and powered life
All is flight for boring minds
Don't break my heart ache
Just give back the past ache
Sarcastic, in blatant lies
You're content to pass life by
There's no glimmer in the eye of the beholder
We're growing dumber even though we're slightly older
Our time is slipping
Away from the markets of glamorous captivity
Your bills own you right out of simplicity
Our time is slipping
Constant pain is numbed by bills
Sleepless nights and cheap half thrills
Don't break my heart ache
Just give back the past ache
Weekend malls and plastic face
You can't hide behind your eyes
This is the age of rage and reason
This is the rage of age and reason
This is the stage of dying seasons
This is an age of love and treason

Eclipse
07:37
|
|||
Bright and blinding
Opening new eyes
The first glaring rays
Are a surprise
Born in the raising of the night
Follow me up in front of light
Shadow passing shadow fall
As a blanket over all
Who gives you to walk
To the outer reaches
Where the halo's edge finally breaches
Who gives you to walk
To the other view
Where the halo's edge
Grows into something new
Eclipse of life
Eclipse of night
Who gives you to run
From the blinding light
Where the halo's edge
Starts to ignite
Who gives you to run
To the darkened shelter
Where the halo's edge
Pulls and surrenders
Eclipse of life
Eclipse of sight
Eclipse of dawn
Eclipse of night
It’s just one more passing by
One more passing by
A beginning dark
And ending light

Nocturne
04:40
|

The hermit walks
The shadows saw
The journeys pause
The nocturne dream
Shades of grey have turned to black
Nocturne finds the hermit is back
Blacked pools sucked the light back
The hermit finds his life has sacked
Blinded night for those of chills
The hermit has chose one surreal
Shades of grey have turned to black
Nocturne finds the hermit is back
The pools of black have all stood back
The nightshade of grey has foretold the fact
The hermits death not cherished hacked
The nightshade of grey has foretold the fact
The surrounding silence shows with truth
The nightshade of grey has foretold the fact
The surrendering light shows with truth
The hermits lantern with guilty patterns heart attack

Deception
07:31
|
|||
When I take a glance
Amongst the haze I see
Those laughing as again
A scowl of shame to see
And so I look within
There is no compromise
This must be how I
Intend to falsify
Another version of you
Take a look at me
Now walk away from me
Face to face
Its all the same to me
Take a look at me
Its your memory
Walk with me
Courageous and free
When I look beyond
The visions haunting gaze
Your face appears again
Your scowl of shame to see
And when we go away
Will there be much surprise
This must be how I
Intend to fortify
Another version of you
Taken - Apart - This life
Uncover the truth - The doubt
The vice - That’s why forbidden
Let up - Break down
Stand up and be true

Turning Leaf
10:11

At this place I feel so grounded
The base of my spine fatigue has now set in
Redness of four has compounded
The elephant of Prithvi has now set in
Walking on the crescent moon
Orange petals sensuality has now set in
White lotus for six has depended
The crocodile of Varuna has now set in
Entering the jewel city ten petals yellow
Lakini as Shakti islets of Langerhans set in
Feeling the fire burn internally
Letting the flame explode externally
Letting my light expose for eternity
Yellows - Moving - Turning - Living
Compassion - Balance - Self loving
Cleansing to bring the balance of my energy
The petals are twelve with doves, hearted kind
Making time to bring the balance of my synergy
The hearted green with Anahotta, turning leaf
Un hurt - Un stuck - Un beat - In sync
Calming - Mourning - Green flame - In sync
Blue flame
Communicating the spirit of truth
Blue flame
Speaking the fountain of youth
Blue flame
Connecting the visuals of proof
Blue flame
Lighting the way for you now
Moving upward the indigo ride
Moving onward the sixth chakra line
Ajna upon the temporal shrine
Ajna seeing upon the ordinary sign
Revealing my desire subconsciously
Flying across the white moon intentionally
Setting up my soul of destiny
Outside - Yourself - Inner - Turning
Balanced - Blooming - Lotus - Burning

Aurora
09:09

This mirror shows no reflection of me
I drop it to the floor
There’s broken glass at my feet
You tear my heart by leaving
Life is more than blood that is flowing on
If I could undo one thing
I wouldn’t have said anything more
Now this dream is over
And I’m losing color
It’s shifting into the night sky
My world is getting dimmer
But a place still holds my glimmer
Set to show the world what I had inside
Follow me down the well lit path
Follow me down to the pits of wrath
When I get to the end I’ll explode in array of color
Follow me out through the broken past
Follow me out of the pits of wrath
When I get to the end, I’ll open my eyes and start all over
You’re on a path that splits and twists and turns
You’re in a life that kicks and bites and burns
And when you choose to stop, go left, or right
The unworn path will make it worth the fight
Reborn this night I
First step into the unknown
Reborn this night I
First step into the unknown
