Pugna E Eterna
01:46
|

From the start we built a hole
To trap our mind and kill our soul
Gave our self a place to hide
Infinite space and measurable time
What once was lost can now be found
Irrational thought, immovable sound
Transcendent solarplex align
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind
Come with me and find a home
In light, in dark, in water and stone
As the world begins to come undone
There is no you, there is only one

Going Nowhere

Is everybody in?
Because no one is speaking
Perpetual bliss
Through the mouth of the martyr
How do you know that you're alive?
Without a voice?
Without questions?
(They compromise their faith without a need for reason)
Will love find us as lonely men
(They find a flaw in every crevice, every inch of the soul)
Knowing what we can't obtain
You were my savior
You gave me the gift
Gave me the children
My purpose
To retrace the lines
And find out how it all came to be
Do you believe the afterlife is eternal?
What are you looking for?
If death is an escape, then why are you waiting?
Life is too perfect for words
(They compromise their faith without a need for reason)
Will truth find us in the end
(They find a flaw in every crevice, every inch of the soul)
Never to know of our bliss
You were my savior
You were my savior
You gave me the gift
Gave me the children
My purpose
To retrace the lines
And find out how it all came to be
(((((We move in circles)))))
This is evidence
Of men who never existed
Never to have walked the earth
But forever bathed in sin
With nothing to lose
And everything to gain
We're going nowhere faster than we planned

I was the river's smile
Coursing through your mind
Keeping your speech in tune
While I wrestled the fire
We were golden (I hear you're coming 'round again)
Drinking nights away (I feel you sleeping in my bones)
Singing for the ages (You're here to bring me back to earth)
We've been singing lives away for years
There's nothing here There's nothing here
But your sex and drugs
You're always selling me out But your sex and drugs
Keeping me down
You mountebank You know I can't resist the world
We've been on the streets (You know I'm coming 'round again)
Waking up for the first time
Getting closer (You'll feel me sleeping in your mind)
Ever closer
To the end of our demise (I'm here to bring you back to God)
There's nothing here There's nothing here
But your sex and drugs
You're always selling me out But your sex and drugs
Keeping me down
You mountebank You know I can't resist the world
So I shake off the need to be sober
Show them that they can mean something
We are supplement to everything in sequence
Shake off the need for mutuality
There's no real love in this business
Bypass the need for a come-down
It's all what you believe

So take this you're bound to feel something
There's no point in talking yourself out
Of common ground
Please don't forget to step sideways
Intentions lead to malfunctions
Through the eyes, no surprises
Higher and higher
Burn this city, burn this city
Higher and higher
We always do our best to stop and forget
Higher and higher
Burn this city, burn this city
Higher and higher
Caught in the same mistake, to always disagree
Always monitoring pulses and attempting
To keep your head on tight, at least for the night
Did you forget to wear clothing?
Or did you leave your morals back at home,
Where we all belong?
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh yeah
The night's still young
We're never going home
We've got everything you need

We're constantly trembling men
Lives invested in glass houses
Reflections abroad, but narrowed and drawn
Just to watch as I drift between dreams
Do you recall the roads we paved
Along the way
Complete us
We're doing our best to get by
Is it absolute
To die and be forgotten
We complete us
When we know ourselves so well
Will you wait by the river,
To see if we make it home safe?
Are we safe?
Are you safe?
We remember you
As a child in the arms of the infinite
We remember
As you pass through the wombs of the earth
The smell of cigarettes seeps through the door
As if I wasn't enough, you keep asking for more
Begging and borrowed, you call out my name
But you're far too young to not be in the game
We can't leave here
Until we open the door
Sarcophagus bliss or intangible copies
We work to free ourselves from what's free
You can't breathe here or find a lost cause
With my ash in the urn, who's counting what's gone
We remember you
As a child in the arms of the infinite
We remember
As you pass through the wombs of the earth

Bastard's Fire
06:15
|
|||
I was caught stagnant in the house of the holy
Riddled with riddles and a jaded mind
I rattled in rhyme, with no sense of time
When I heard her divine voice speak slowly
"You're gonna need a bastard's fire,
If you're gonna stand up for us.
You can't be givin your light away
For that misplaced sense of lust."
As the years aged my weary eyes
My vagrant journey led me to the riverbed
I drank from the well and felt the light of man
Incandescent children singing, "Praise us once again"
"So you've got your bastard's fire,
But you ain't got no one to lead."
And I said, "Naive sister,
We'll lead each other, just you wait and see."
Come with me and open your mind
We'll take a trip through space and time
Where one is all, all is one
Come together under the sun
Everybody, I and I

Redundancy in the form of explanation
To hide behind a subtle flaw and bring about the end
Consistency is comfortable, but prerogatives inclined
We speak to know, and know to speak
In learning we have slept through the winter
Only to learn what it means to become
(And awake with you again)
When we welcome complications
We're selling our worth by the day
We remain
Locked in a room
We built without knowing
Constructing ideas too heavy to carry
Constructing ideas too heavy to care
I slept through the winter
Only to learn what it means to become
(And awake with you again)
When we welcome complications
We're selling our worth by the day
Leave the dead space between the walls
We'll find a way to compromise integrity
House into a home
Give us a God that we can believe in

One million eyes set in motion by a man of pride, a heretic
If there's a way out tell me now
While we're all still here
We're still waiting for you to take us away
And make us whole again
But you never came
And we never thought to ask why
We just lost belief by the day
Gained perspective by the hour
We found a way in
And it seems we're here to stay
We're still waiting for you to take us away
And make us whole again
But you never came
And we never thought to ask why
And you taught us not to question
Taught us not to ask why
Why?!
We're still learning
With patience
With time
With understanding
Take us away
And make us all forget
That you'll never come,
And we'll never care

Mercury into gold
Manifest yourself a place to hold
Compromise the dream, suffocate the dreamer
You'll never know
We are the perfect balance of imbalance and subterfuge
We don't have the answer
She will coalesce into existence
Omnipotent, immaculate
Our mother's hands are perfect
They will teach all of us how to let go
I am imperial
(The son of the son)
I am collected
(Into the only one)
The burden of the throne
Panegyrized in stone
Exiled from
The temple of the weak
Transmutation
The Magnum Opus dignified
Amalgamate the soul
Detach yourself from reason
And then you'll know
We are the perfect semblance of God and her intransigence
Vindicated from antiquity
I need light
I need oxygen

I've been gone for so long
I can barely recall
The day I departed
Or the day you arrived
The incubus of divergence
Turned convalescent
In the invariably broadening
conspectus of time and place
But I couldn't stay there
In a place where spatial identity was irrelevant
In all I could do. . .
In all I've ever wanted. . .
I'll pack my bags
(As full as I could)
And take it all with me
I'll pack my bags
(As full as I could)
Go back to the start
Then I lose myself
In the smoke filled room
In the throne of the omnipotent
Preternatural impulses
To think that we can go it alone
But there is nothing to gain
Nothing to sacrifice
And all we have is everything we share
To help each other along

Our ascension to providence
Will echo throughout history
And all will know
God lies beneath the mountains
