Creation

We pray for this child
That the Lord has granted what we ask of him
Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them
For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these
Thou dist form my inward parts, Thou dist knit me in my mother's womb
For onto us a child is born, to us a child is given

The Dawn of Realization
09:19
|

A new dawn is breaking
The light is flooding in
Consciousness coming about
I begin to realize where I am
Ideas floating all around
Its the start of something new
The beginning of a scheme
But just now is it perceived
The concept just arrived
Activated is the understanding
Because the realization has begun
Imagination has been turned on
Dreams vividly displayed
Awoken from hibernation
Thoughts don't cease
New life is taking shape
Its the start of something new
The beginning of a scheme
But just now is it perceived
The concept just arrived
Activated is the understanding
Because the realization has begun
The body is under my control
While the system is beating on its own
Life is pouring out of me
Mental stability in check
All tasks at full throttle
Realizing is easy now
This is the first stage
The building block of life
From here, who knows
what will come up ahead
Its a random road
So throw your name in a hat
And get ready to be picked
For the journey has just begun
Its the start of something new
The beginning of a scheme
But just now is it perceived

Lost Years
10:19

wondering, for what is life
pondering the meaning of it all
Finding no purpose at the root
believing to do as you please
the pressure
breaks the body
giving in
to bait
The world watches on
following broken paths
as they eat the fruit
from toxic trees
When a drink comes my way
(I don't fight it off
why should I care)
When the world offers shame
(I don't fight if off
why should I care)
When instinct overpowers
(I don't fight it off
why should I care)
When I see suffering
(I don't fight it off
why should I care)
the only medicine is time
let the wounds grow old
let it fall uncontrolled
soon hope it healed
the pressure
breaks the body
giving in
to bait
The world watches on
following broken paths
as they eat the fruit
from toxic trees
The world watches on
following broken paths
as they eat the fruit
from toxic trees
Why do they fall
when will they learn
are they conscious at all
for change we yearn

Confrontation
11:32

Soaring
Through a veil of clouds
Destination is hidden from view
The mission
To protect the nation's people
Restless thoughts
Race through the mind
The time has come
To enter this land of storm and strife
Take a step
Into a zone
Where one can find peace and safety
But the world outside
Is still ill at ease
The day we will know
What fate will hold
Is slowly, surely drawing nearer
Man is never at peace
Since the dawn of time
Don't they know
That there's another way to go
To put a stop to all this madness
Bring an end to this battle
And forever live in harmony
What is happening here?
Who's misjudgment led us to this place
The peace we're seeking
Is nowhere to be found
Man is never at peace
Since the dawn of time
Don't they know
That there's another way to go
To put a stop to all this madness
Bring an end to this battle
And forever live in harmony
Into the forest
Fog in our eyes
Can't see what's coming
Or what's behind
Out in front of me
Comes a surprise
Reaching consciousness
As the mind begins to free
Free itself from the darkness
Those scary memories
Seeing anxious faces
What does all this mean
Trying to remember
What's been seen
Man is always at war
There are doubts it will ever stop
When will they learn how
To bring peace to this world
The body reaches repair
Nearing leave is the despair
Home is coming nearer
Conceptions getting clearer
The war is over for one
For the rest, it'll be a long run
Because the end is far from sight
Man is always at war
There are doubts it will ever stop
When will they learn how
To bring peace to this world
Man is never at peace
Man is always at war
Since the dawn of time
There are doubts it will ever stop
Don't they know
That there's another way to go
When will they learn how
To put a stop to all this madness
Bring an end to this battle
Bring peace to this world
And forever live in harmony

Change
06:44
|

The paths have been followed
A life has been pursued
Some truths are hard to swallow
The chances were few
Little time remains
To heal all the pain
Yet as the clock roars on
Chances to rectify present themselves
Being is not definite
A dent can be made
A dent can be fixed
Here is the place
And now is the time
Yet as the clock roars on
Chances to rectify present themselves
Following the others
But breaking apart
Following the others
But breaking apart
Turn away from fallacy
Revert to legacy
Its the only way to shine
Turn the water into wine
The feelings may never fade
But only one way to find out
Moving forward
Advance your being
Put the past behind
Yet as the clock roars on
Chances to rectify present themselves
Following the others
But breaking apart
Following the others
But breaking apart
Turn away from fallacy
Revert to legacy
Its the only way to shine
Turn the water into wine
Arrogance will be denied
Never will there be a lie
Death is not the way out
To evil plans give your doubt
Don't be tied to the destructive
To good never be obstructive
Greed will not blind your eyes
Pride will bring you to demise
Break away. change your ways
Turn away from fallacy
Revert to legacy
Its the only way to shine
Turn the water into wine
Turn away from fallacy
Revert to legacy
Its the only way to shine
Turn the water into wine

Regression
09:21

A man, no longer in his prime
His body, rejecting motion
Slowly degrading, running short on time
The end nearing, that's the notion
The destruction, like an endless crime
Result, only commotion
Very rich, but oh so weak
Does that enrich, beyond critique
As all moves forwards,
I move backwards
as life becomes inhospitable,
collapse is visible
If one is to live, must they be living
yet to live, one is not necessarily living
While I may live, my neighbor is not living
But the man who has died was in fact living
but yet his fortune was ended when he was no longer living
If one doesn't live, then is it truly a requirement to live
If one decides not to live, then is their living not an
improvement upon the lives of the others who are living,
or even the lives of those who find themselves not to be living
Will the living decide to take this as a degradation or
will they inspire the will of those not living to live
The only true inspiration to the living is to overcome
all obstacles, notably those of physical state, and
by doing so will truly become living.
Wise man, still youthful in mind
His brain, accepting increment
Always advancing, getting better with time
The horizon is infinite
The construction, on an upward track
Result, only forward motion
Very rich, but oh so weak
Does that enrich, beyond critique
As all moves forwards,
I move backwards
as life becomes inhospitable,
collapse is visible
As all moves forwards,
I move backwards
as life becomes inhospitable,
collapse is visible

I to Realize (Prelude)----------------------
II to Understand-----------------------------
For so long I have seen
But just now have I seen
For the truth comes about
It doesn't care for me
The longest time you believe
That what you see will always be
It takes awhile to believe
That what you see won't always be
The time has truly come
The end in sight
What once was miles away
Is right next to you
The longest time you believe
That what you see will always be
It takes awhile to believe
That what you see won't always be
III to Remember-----------------------------
I can see it clear as day
The times when I used to be
Young and energetic
The body ready for action
They say bliss is ignorance
For it must be true
My best times in the youth
Yet not too soon after ignorance
Flies in the arrogance
And even sooner, off to war
Fighting, what a misery
What was the purpose
What did I gain?
What were the prizes
The death and agony
I was a changed man
I put the times behind me
But it was too unfortunate
No time was ahead to finish the job
Lucky to be alive
The change has made the difference
Only if it were to be sooner
IV to Regret-----------------------------------
Under a heaping stack of regret
I wishes cloud the sky
Can't I go back in time
Pursue the missed opportunity
Rewrite what you can still write
It'd be a different world
If everybody knew
The secrets to life
If they didn't waste every day
If I knew how rude I'd been
If I knew the ruthlessness of war
If I came to a conclusion earlier
If I kept my temple clean
If I lived that way
It'd be a different world
If everybody knew
The secrets to life
If they didn't waste every day
V to Hope--------------------------------------
I been through so much
I achieved so many goals
But to you I say
Don't squander it
VI To End--------------------------------------
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time to begin again
