2. Stronghold we read books on how to live and how to ease our mind we learn to meditate to find silence in our hearts.
we climb mountains to find peace lectures for inner truth preachers who all know how to fool our soul
I'm calling out to you to liberate your dreams to break the ties that bind you and to eliminate your fears
how hard as it may seem try never to let go of the visions that we have for they will be our stronghold to which we will return
millennia have gone by and prayers seemed in vain what we couldn't see was constructed in our mind
we seek solutions but no cure questions to our answers dream the highest dream of you and try to realize
3. Salvation I wake up from the noise that haunts me every day it granted me my sleep whispering softly in my ear
the noise is fading out so I can hear more clearly voices from the past and voices from the future
I've been rushing through my life stumbling over me and you forgetting everything I hoped for it seemed that I was motionless it felt like I stood still forever I?ve been rushing through my life crying tears of fear forgetting everything I cared for it seemed that I was motionless it felt like I could live forever
noises in my head speaking of salvation burning kingdoms down in merciless frustration
I?m living with the noise my company for ages hatred in my heart consumes my true nature
4. Circles Now i am here alone With this sadness in my heart No one can reach me here And no one to impart The feeling to come undone Weighs so heavy on my heart But i cannot find the words And i cannot find the strength
I find it hard to breathe Like i am suffocating Within these boundaries of fear I've forced upon myself Unable to find my way When yesterday's forgotten And tomorrow never comes Will i be here tomorrow? I'm slowly reaching ground How can i break these circles By which i feel surrounded? I'll find my way to live today When yesterday's forgotten And tomorrow never comes
My innocence and patience Enclosed by this rage Within my world of reason I am seeing blind I find myself entangled In my own web of thoughts As extension and completion Of what i must become?
5. Insight (Instr.)
6. Blind World Have i really come this far To see everything burn down? No forgiveness here This is what is left of us
I turn my back on all i know I never sought for wisdom here Pain so deep i couldn't say Will we ever stand clear?
I'll blind myself from the world What i don't see i do not crave What i don't hear i do not need What i don't touch will keep me clean
I'll keep myself from the world No word will leave my mouth in vain No regrets will keep me here And i shall never shed a tear
Have i really come this close To witness hell in full effect? Only surrounded by despair No reason to go home
Live my life as i see fit Bound by violence and pain We make our nightmares alive Is this what we are?
This is what we are?
7. Rites Of Passage on this day, this time of passage I need to make my statement now where I'll go is still uncertain to what I've left I can't return
this moment's lost, gone forever I need to listen to this voice whispering from deep inside me telling things I fear to hear:
as a rite of passage you want to turn away from everything you have created in this world when you felt so unknown you blame the sun for all her light that ever fell your way you push everything away and claim that you're alone and now you say you feel alone and now your heart has turned to stone
on this day, this time of passage I?ve forgotten what is true neglecting these feelings of compassion only believing what I see
I want to break these bonds around me stand alone untouched by none still I hear this voice behind me re-defining who I am
8. Karma no fear, no sorrow, no pain, just me I clear my mind and let it be I seek no longer for things to come all I want will soon be gone
the more I see what lies behind the more I feed my consciousness there is no wrong, there is no right there's just me in eternal light
I follow every step with my heart my karma I choose to live in love and light what I give I will receive in life my karma every end will bring a brand new start forever
in hate and sorrow we choose to live give and take or receive and give we can decide to make it real our finest future or our demise
cause and effect create our world what you sow you're destined to reap search for wisdom and you will see eternity unfolds for you and me
9. Experiece (Instr.)
10. Civilzation when the sun turned red when the moon was ours before the machines wiped our souls when our hearts stopped pumping and our minds were dim this is my new hymn
11. Division I look for questions to my answers I scan for faces in the crowd I search for wisdom in a madhouse I seek freedom for an imprisoned mind
all I wanted in my life is now slipping through my fingers standing on the shore I feel the water closing in it seems my sanity is fading to a point of no return I have come to realize the one I fear is me
I want shelter in open field I look for shadow in the sunlight I dig for water in my desert I search for stars in clouded skies
I look for questions to my answers I scan for faces in the crowd I search for wisdom in a madhouse I seek freedom for an imprisoned mind
all I wanted in my life is now slipping through my fingers standing on the shore I feel the water closing in it seems my sanity is fading to a point of no return I have come to realize the one I fear is me
I want shelter in open field I look for shadow in the sunlight I dig for water in my desert I search for stars in clouded skies
all I wanted in my life is now slipping through my fingers standing on the shore I feel the water closing in it seems my sanity is fading to a point of no return I have come to realize the one I fear is me
12. Destination afraid to speak afraid to touch afraid that everything could harm
afraid to cry afraid to laugh afraid that you might see my pain
my heart is not your destination
afraid to live afraid to die afraid that my love will hurt you
afraid to come afraid to part afraid that my fears keep you here.
13. Awakening (Instr.)
14. Restoration after all the pain I've mastered from all the suffering I've seen this seems to be so monumental this feels so indefensible
I can't see beyond, I can't feel me I can't reach me, I can't save me
when there's nothing left to say when there's nothing left to lose and I feel forsaken on my way
I'll remember you in all your grace in all your moves in all your ways I'll honour you in all my days in all my thoughts in all my ways
it feels my inner strength has left me for visions I despise like I'm gradually collapsing until there's no remnant left
it's just a matter of time before I get restored it's just a matter of hope before I save myself
15. Hold Me hold me so I can feel the warmth of your body close to me
hold me so I can smell the scent of life once more
feel this cold body see the decaying of my flesh please hold me for a while and make this moment last before I'll travel to a distant world where we all belong
kiss me so I remember for all eternity and after
touch me so I can sense a loving touch before goodbye
16. Radiance It feels like I am leaving shore bound for new adventures embarking on an endless quest
I'm leaving land behind exiled and afraid I turn my head and realize there is no turning back
I'm not complaining I'm not asking for sympathy for this hole inside my soul I cannot heal it feels like I am awake and dreaming it seems like I am awake and dreaming
it seems that I can't comprehend the lessons I have learned forgetting wisdoms I have preached
these infuriating storms are tearing me apart nothing left for me to save nothing left to salvage
