No Home 03:11
Relentless My mind Is a crosshair I can See no More enemies The field is run By cowards But there’s no one No one No one No home

The Slave 09:15
Long haired preachers come out every night Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right But when they’re asked about something to eat They will answer with voices so sweet: You will eat, bye You will eat, bye You will eat, bye You will eat, bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye, bye and bye In that glorious land in the sky In that glorious land in the sky In that glorious land in the sky In that glorious land in the sky That glorious land in the sky In the sky Work and pray, live on hay! If you fight hard for children and wife Try to get something good in this life You are a sinner and bad man, they tell When you die you will sure go to hell (they say:) Eat bye, you will eat bye You will eat, bye You will eat, bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye, bye and bye Bye and bye and bye and bye... That glorious land in the sky In that glorious land in the sky In that glorious land in the sky In that glorious land in the sky In the sky Work and pray, live on hay! That glorious land in the sky Work and pray live on hay! That glorious land in the sky Work and pray live on hay! That glorious land in the sky Work and pray live on hay! That glorious land in the sky Work and pray live on hay! That glorious land in the sky Work and pray live on hay!

I see you stand aside and watch while they die You're not dead you're not yet alive You may have learned, may have learned how to survive You may have learned how to thrive You know everything has failed No idea never fell like this Your ideal never was meant to be Well time runs out The ground it waits to wake up Waits to call out: This war is a grave mistake This war is a grave mistake This war is a grave mistake Follow this word how it grows Follow these lies how it falls Listen to these words I told It’s like it’s all like Like it's been before I have been told to stand in line and watch I've been told to stand in line and watch How they march to destroy How they march to destroy I have been told meant to grow old To have kids and a wife somewhere in paradise I've been told to grow old To have one last wish somewhere in paradise Well I've been told to forget What those people feel I can’t feel What those people see I’ve foreseen Well I've been told.

Civilised primates breeding conceit Descending the ladder into the abyss Smothering in smoke no tongue will retort This raging pyre is your final resort Desecrated the fire Set our world ablaze Desecrated the fire Set our world ablaze This fire won’t purge no one It just feeds the flames Consuming this place This fire won’t purge no one It just feeds the flames Consuming this place Consuming this place Here’s to the victim that just keeps alive Just keep on singing sweet lullabies Blindfolded emperors reign over your graves No savior will come this throne has no heir Desecrated the fire Set our world ablaze Desecrated the fire Set our world ablaze The line that we crossed Is where it ends There is no return You just feed the flames It just feeds the flames This fire won’t purge no one Consuming this place This fire won’t purge no one You just feed the flames This fire won’t purge no one It just feeds the flames Consuming this place It just feeds the flames This fire won’t purge no one You just feed the flames Consuming this place Consuming this place

Death! Death! You should long for death! Death is forbidden oh man unto thee Fear not at all, fear neither man Nor fates nor god’s nor anything Death! Death! You should long for death! Death is forbidden oh man unto thee Fear not at all, fear neither man Nor fates nor god’s nor anything We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita: Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says: "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Breath Die Deny Your Life With or without him, You won’t doubt sins As a part of your life, as a part of the thrive With or without him, You won’t doubt sin As a part of your life, as a part of the thrive With or without him, You won’t doubt sin As a part of your life, as a part of the trial I got a deal with the Devil I got to deal with the Devil I got a deal with the Devil I got to deal with the Devil Death, death death! As a part of your life, as a part of the trial I've got a deal with the Devil I gotta deal with the Devil

Chaos is beautiful. Now many times we are afraid because we want order. We can’t deal with the confusion and disorder. We want form, we want rules. Yes, throughout human history there have been people, religious leaders, political leaders, who will give you order. They will give you rules and commandments. But chaos is basically good. Relax. Surf the waves of chaos and learn how to redesign your own realities. Sit back Flow Open your eyes Turn off your minds Unfocus, and let the waves of chaos roll over your brain Float Drift Zoom Design Create new order, your order, your style from chaos.

The Snake 15:37
THE SNAKE, PART I – Ocean of Milk Knowing that the light has fought you Distraught spirits walk right through you Weary ghosts wait for your order Looking back but running forward Visionary blind observer God is gone - the aeon’s over Solemn vow Hollow vow Empty vow Final vow Coming down, the law’s mistaken Disrespect and humiliation And the city left me lone Instead I crawl under my stone Home Home And the silver sun has taken me Want to get away from here All the light has gone nowhere All the wreckage found within Go nowhere Go nowhere I’m full of it Full of it Nowhere I’m full of it All the world will be the heir Down with you in the ground That’s what I have found Down with you THE SNAKE, PART II – The Ghosts that live inside your Head Long way down Long way up Long way down It’s a long way up It’s a long way down It’s a long way up All the ghosts that live inside your head Kill for blurry pictures of a ... long dead man Dollars running through a fingerless hand Hailing pictures of a man long dead People praise a moron in the streets Make a madmen seem like important People summon hymns within the street Make a madmen seem impotent They say freedom must be paid with blood Freedom we will never have enough Selling weapons to innocent kids Protecting culture that will never Persist Persist Persist Persist Persist Persist There’s never been another way! Does this temple grow out of this shit? Reason tells them: Can't you pull the plug? They won’t let escape you from this storm So this is our blame to hold! There is no such thing no man can build! Oh, and I had a space ship Am I on a space trip? Am I Andy Warhole? I want to engross you! THE SNAKE PART III – Pull the Plug All the things that man can do I like to do on the moon with you All the things that flowers never see I like to show you emptiness And when the soaring cannons roar again I will jump to cross the border anyway It doesn’t have to make sense In the end I’m filled with All of us are filled with Emptiness! Emptiness! Emptiness! So pull the plug! Emptiness! So pull the plug! Come pull the plug! Come pull the plug! So pull the plug! So pull the plug! Come pull the plug!

Behold 09:54
BEHOLD, PART I - Do you think that you’re awake? Its not in me its not in you It's not alive it never dies It's not awake it never sleeps It's in our eyes but we can't see It's all around it is nowhere Do you think you understand? There is no word without a sound There is no ocean with no shore You are not wrong, whoever deems That all your days have been a dream Do you believe that you’re awake? Who is „you“ inside that man? Where are those who were before? Do you know where they have gone? I’d like to think they’re still with us In our blood an’ hearts and bones There is no fire without a flame There’s no fear without a name Behold the spectre in your path To lead you till you understand There’s an opening in the void Can you hear this calling noise? An echo of a distant time Starts to climb toward the light. Almost everyday you fall To rise again, but now you’re gone. There’s no action with no cause! Is there a hell still in your head? Do you feel blessed or are you damned? Do you still dream of Promised Land? I would not judge it in the end. BEHOLD, PART II – Great Understanding Great understanding is broad and unhurried; Little understanding is cramped and busy. Great words are clear and limpid; Little words are shrill and quarrelsome. In sleep, men's spirits go visiting; In waking hours, their bodies hustle. With everything they meet they become entangled. Day after day they use their minds in strife, Sometimes grandiose, sometimes sly, sometimes petty. Their little fears are mean and trembly; Their great fears are stunned and overwhelming. They bound off like an arrow or a crossbow pellet, Certain that they are the arbiters of right and wrong. They cling to their position as though they had sworn before the gods, Sure that they are holding on to victory. They fade like fall and winter-- Such is the way they dwindle day by day. They drown in what they do. You cannot make them turn back. They grow dark, as though sealed with seals. Such are the excesses of their old age. And when their minds draw near to death, nothing can restore them to the light. BEHOLD, PART III – Dreaming Awake And now that I’m wake I feel like I’m dead! Live? Die? Live? Die? I don't wanna live! Comatose! I don't wanna die! Comatose! Die! I don't wanna live comatose! I don't wanna die! Comatose! Die! I don't wanna die!

Shesha 05:50
In this second you are dead! Just let me show you what went wrong Did your brain solve anything before your passing? I thought you up! You can’t drive me away again! Recall we shall beat the end now Bold heir you bet on me You woke on a bed of trouble and I said you stay And it still matters we are all part of it All we need is power the greed, the pain, the passion Your heart and your soul I own I am become death The destroyer of worlds All the baggage that you bear Through this valley of despair Cruel wisdom - king of lies Just the same old story Whatever you trust in I will reassure you I will reassure you The pain that you gotta love The Purple Wild on a Still But when the world ends your still a part of it When this aeon ends you are still a part of it All your enemies slowly fade away Resurrect, revolve again But I remain!

I wake from the slumber, here at the sea Want to tell you a Story, now that I see clear We're all made of stardust, chaotic in lines Like a Virus expanding, to spread out again They call themselves mammals, working for nothing Increasing the Power, of someone who's leading They'll follow the leaders, dance into their carcass Repeating not thinking, they'll do this again Must stand tall Side by side We must fight you inside They call themselves mammals Increasing the Power Must stand tall Side by side We must fight You inside Like a Virus expanding dance in their carcass Like a Virus expanding dance in their carcass Must stand tall Side by side We must fight you inside!

From black To grey To gold From black To grey To gold Turn around and live again! Stand up and breathe again! Turn around and live again! Stand up and breathe again! Turn around and live again!

THE ELEPHANT'S DREAM, PART I – Monsters and Gods Listen I’m drowning, I can’t see no ground Feels like theres no place home Silence is colder in skies fading out No longer part of the fold Again Again Monsters and gods try to tear me apart But I am already gone Solace is waiting deep down in this one Inside the cruelest of hearts Fade out another light To create again My aeon came to an end Hollow eyes follow me I was born to die Silver suns taking me Pass before my eyes I have dreamt of Promised Land Can’t you pull the plug? Let me go, set me free To leave this frail disguise Fade out another light To create again My aeon came to an end Fade out another light Set the sail again My aeon came to an end THE ELEPHANT'S DREAM, PART II – Another Life, another Time Bury me down in this earth I’m getting sick and tired of dreaming alive Carry me back to the birth I’m getting sick and tired of dreaming alive So come and wake me Wake me! So come and wake me Wake me! The line that we have crossed This is where it ends There will be no return We are just to feed the flames Hollow eyes follow me I run away, I run away, I run away Silver suns taking me I run away, I run away, I run away Hollow eyes follow me I run away, I run away, I run away Silver suns taking me I run away, I run away, I run away Fade out another light Hollow eyes follow me Fade in another time Silver suns taking me Fade out another light Hollow eyes follow me Fade in another time Light Time Light Hollow eyes follow me Fade out follow me Another time Silver suns taking me Fade out Fade out Fade out Follow me Fade out Another Life Follow me!
