SYMBOLIC
SYMBOLIC
I dont mean to dwell
But I can't help myself
When I feel the vibe
And taste a memory
Of a time in life
When years seemed to stand still
I close my eyes
An sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix call innocence
When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold
(chorus)
Symbolic acts.....So vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible
Savor what you feel and what you see
Things may not seem important now
But may be tommorow
Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heros where so real........
There magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight
I close my eyes
An sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix call innocence
When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold
(chorus)
Symbolic acts.....So vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible
ZERO TOLERANCE
In the dark of night
Abusing a portion of light
While others are sleeping
And some are escaping
A serpent spews out fantasy
Unjustified blasphemy
That cannot...be condoned
It must seem strange...to not have lived
So far into...existence
This is not a test of power
This is not a game... to be lost or won
Let justice be done
(chorus)
There will be zero tolerance
For the creator of hallowed intentions
There will be zero tolerance
Fate is your deciding god
Karma comes crashing down
Leaving a very deep scar
Exposing the door to the
Source of a verbal whore
Macines supply the alter
Where virtuous lives are sacrificed
It must seem strange...to not have lived
So far into...existence
This is not a test of power
This is not a game... to be lost or won
Let justice be done
EMPTY WORDS
Ashes and promises share a bond
Through the winds of change
Words are blown away
When visons that should be
Are tattooed in your mind
The power to let go
Is sometimees hard to find
The answer cannot be found
In the writing of others
Or the words of a trained mind
In a preciuos world of memories
We find ourselves confined
Claws so razor sharp
Ripping at the spirit
(chorus)
Promises a potential to hurt
Is anything real?
When forever is to be until
Deep inside, in the world of empty words....
No escaping from those haunting
Empty words.......
Do you ever feel it?
A craving that is so strong
To by thought rewind in order to find
Expectations that shined through the doubt
That soon will turn into the price
Of what a word will be worth
When tommorow comes
To be and we are left
Standing on our own
And seeing what is real
The answer cannot be found
In the writing of others
Or the words of a trained mind
In a preciuos world of memories
We find ourselves confined
Claws so razor sharp
Ripping at the spirit
(chorus)
Promises a potential to hurt
Is anything real?
When forever is to be until
Deep inside, in the world of empty words....
No escaping drom those haunting
Empty words.......
SACRED SERENTIY
Wherever you go, what ever you do
Your shadow is not far behind our steps
And our breath
Protecting and watching all....
Observing spirits on the wall
What are they telling you?
Following all insticts that are pure
Oblivious to time, they may be the cure
(chorus)
Sacred is the gift that they
Have without knowing
Serentiy is knowing its safe
From destruction of time
Maybe we could take a step back
And discover what leads us to attack
Time that is short...Distance unknown
For them, each day life has just begun
Observing spirits on the wall
What are they telling you?
Following all insticts that are pure
Oblivious to time, they may be the cure
(chorus)
Sacred is the gift that they
Have without knowing
Serentiy is knowing its safe
From destruction of time
1,000 Eyes
Crossing the line into the other side
Emerging as prisoners
To the emptiness of time
To the left and to the right
From behind....they're out of sight
Plunging into a new found
Age of advanced observeillence
A worldwide, fool proof cage
Privacy and intimacy as we know it
Will be a memory
Among many to be passed down
To those who never knew
(chorus)
Living in the pupil of 1,000 eyes
Was it overlooked in front of all our faces?
Now all the mistakes and secrets
Cannot be erased
Viewing the blind complexity
By which laws are justified
To erase simplicity
To the left and to the right
From behind....they're out of sight
Plunging into a new found
Age of advanced observeillence
A worldwide, fool proof cage
Privacy and intimacy as we know it
Will be a memory
Among many to be passed down
To those who never knew
(chorus)
Living in the pupil of 1,000 eyes
We are enslaved now.............................................
WITHOUT JUDGEMENT
Guilty until proven innocent
We condemn your soul and fate
Nevermind the possibilities
To busy for logic or to calculate
Take part in a diminishing breed
Where complex turns to....simplicity
When pain is acknowledged
Frivolous calculations will be abolished
(chorus)
Without judgement what would we do?
We would be forced to look
At ourselves emerged in lost time
Assuming what we may be
Without judgement
Perception would increase a million times
Distracted by the imagination
that experiments with ease
If oyu could taste it, it might be addictive
Where life will crush those who defy
Take part in a diminishing breed
Where complex turns to....simplicity
When pain is acknowledged
Frivolous calculations will be abolished
(chorus)
Without judgement what would we do?
We would be forced to look
At ourselves emerged in lost time
Assuming what we may be
Without judgement
Perception would increase a million times
CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN
Built from blind faith
Passed down from self....induced fantasy
Turn the page to justify
Conjuring pwer it opens wide
On your seventh day
Is that how its done?
Twisting your eyes to precive
All that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
Cross-turned dagger
(chorus)
Inside crysal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
All traps are set to confine
All who get in the way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite
A slave to the curse....forever confined
Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On words against
Dreams made of steel
Stronger than any faith
That inflicts pain and fear
Is that how its done?
Twisting your eyes to percieve
All that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting woumd with your
Cross-turned dagger
(chorus)
Inside crysal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
MISATHROPE
From above and around
Observations are collected
Knowledge is taken in by curious life forms
That may bring hope from beyond
Beneath the giver of life...our sun
An examination of another kind is done
A view from those who stood high
And breathed the sky
An opinion from below and from above
Some were decided...Some were not
A few turned away...But none forgot
(chorus)
Misanthrope
Hater of all mankind
There is some hope
For those who own there mind
They came, they saw and acknowledged
Some good, some bad
Opinion dangerous
Stay where you are, don't get consumed
By what they createdfrom sheer neglect
In denial of years and years of
Shattered souls
A view from those who stood high
And breathed the sky
An opinion from below and from above
Some were decided...Some were not
A few turned away...But none forgot
(chorus)
Misanthrope
Hater of all mankind
There is some hope
For those who own there mind
They came, they saw and acknowledged
Some good, some bad
Opinion dangerous
PERENNIAL QUEST
The journey begins with curiosity
And eveolves into soul-felt questions
On the stones that we walk
And choose to make our path
Sometimes never knowing
Other times knowing too much
Filtering out the bad that holds us back
Take hold of what is true to your hunger
A hunger that will not go away
Plans for tommorow they will remain
(chorus)
Won't you join me on the perennial quest
Reaching into the dark, retrieving light
Search for answers on the perennial quest
Where dreams are followed, and time is a test
No time for mental crutches
The maker has moved on
I will take it raw and be on my way
Those that stood beside me
I'm glad you understand
Behind these written words
I share a simple plan
To hang on to the way we feel
From rivers of sorrow
To oceans deep with hope
I have travelled them
Now, there is no turning back
The limit, the sky
I ask my questions why? What Today?
When tommorow?
Filtering out the bad that holds us back
Take hold of what is true to your hunger
A hunger that will not go away
Plans for tommorow they will remain
(chorus)
Won't you join me on the perennial quest
Reaching into the dark, retrieving light
Search for answers on the perennial quest
Where dreams are followed, and time is a test
