Mantra

Feel the aura of ajna to live your mantra
Clear your mind from the cluttered wasteland of propaganda and bullshit
Gaze into the mind’s mirrors and rediscover your inner self
In a dream, came the messiah
He told told me to live by my own mantra
Come to peace with the world around you and let go of reality
Learn to live the true human experience and leave behind a real legacy
A wise soul once told me to be the hero of my own story
Now is the time to wake up and use that voice to be heard shouting
Discover your ajna
Feel your aura
Live by your mantra
Discover your ajna
Feel your mantra
Challenge the status quo and everything you think you know
Because there’s only now and maybe there’s no tomorrow
Close your eyes and you’ll see this is so

Incarcerated
04:50
|

Biding the days
Persisting through time
In a shackled craze
Tormenting minds
Every passing moment is yours to own
Fight for your right; venture to the unknown
Escape the enslaved masses of drones
Tear away the veil; reveal you’re alone
Locked up
Thrown away
Get in the lineup
Enjoy your stay
Thrown in a cage
Stripped of our dignity
And now we’re boiling with rage because we, the 99%, want to be free
We will break free from this captivity
Every passing moment is yours to own
Fight for your right; venture to the unknown
Escape the enslaved masses of drones
Tear away the veil; reveal you’re alone
These eternal walls surround me
But I will be set free
Break these chains that bind me
I see now that I’m free
To this world I must flee
To understand my destiny
Like sheep in a herd
Like a moth to an open flame
Oblivious to the fact that we are incarcerated
Incarcerated

Mechanical
04:28
|
|||
The all-seeing eye is watching as mankind dies from suffering
I was manufactured and fabricated from schematics
I was spawned in a factory of obedience
Born into slavery, I reserve the right to consume and obey
The corporate empire that feeds on labour and profit
The army of machines; unstoppable
You made us this way; cold and mechanical
We’re just cogs in the clockwork of their system
Disposable units in the assembly line
On and on, day after day, we slave to build shit we can’t afford for people we hate
Make no mistake, we pump the iron and blood of a world built upon an infrastructure of lies
So why must we devote our enslaved lives to build another man’s dreams while we abandon our own
And pursue a version of ourselves that has been designed and force-fed to us since the day we were born
The all-seeing eye is watching as mankind dies from suffering
Produce, obey, shut up, repeat

Macrocosm
04:18
|
|||
This system is built upon a platform of complexity nearly impossible to see
So step away from the microcosmic lens and notice the full spectrum waiting to amaze you
All in one and one in all despite the inevitable downfall we’re connected to the very core of existence within this cosmic organism
Strip away the notion of perspective and understand the atomic relation of all life
The intertwining structure that envelops everything we are and ever will be
We are the soil
We are the air
We are the skies
We are the stars
We are each other
We are one
All in one and one in all
Strip away perspective
Complex is this system
We’re all connected
To this macrocosmic existence

Ego-Check
03:59
|
|||
Gaze into the mind’s mirror carefully as it may reveal more than you can handle
It’s time for a system reset
Start over with a clean slate and watch that ego strip away

Epiphany
04:02
|
|||
You are the sacred idol
You are my mind’s oracle
Don’t give in to astonishment
This redefines our existence
A real eye opener
Now I awaken the dreamers
Awaken
Lost in a state of zen
I must find myself again
I must find myself again
I’ve been given inspiration to change the tide of these dark times
In this vision came the realization of a new reason to live again

Reincarnation
04:43
|
|||
There’s only one direction and that is moving forward
Perpetual motion
The mind rejuvenation keeps mankind pushing onward
If we want to the world to change we must seek it within ourselves
It’s never too late to start over
The state of mind must be reset
Freedom under attack
We are the cure
This is a comeback
Revival of the pure
Why do we wait so long to take action into our hands
If we want to the world to change we must seek it within ourselves
It’s never too late to start over
The state of mind must be reset
There are those who fear progress
Stagnating in shadows of regrets
Held back due to lack of understanding
But there is one thing that they are forgetting
The master plan has changed
This is metempsychosis
This is reincarnation
If we want to the world to change we must seek it within ourselves
It’s never too late to start over
The state of mind must be reset

Awoken
06:38
|
|||
We’ve slept for far too long
Endured everything that is wrong
This is the connection we cut
Until now, we gazed with eyes wide shut
Awoken from eternal slumber
Truth revealed at every corner
A new era: nothing is forever
Tell the dreamers that the nightmare is over
Rise from the slumber
Now we are awoken
Welcome to the newfound glory
Able to rewrite one’s own story
One filled with secrets untold
Behold the unfiltered vision of the world
I cannot un-see the closing gap
Between our worlds as they collide
You must defend your honour and never look back
The weak and the ignorant will try and take this from you
We’ve slept for far too long
This the connection that we cut
Awoken from eternal slumber
Truth reveals itself at every corner
Tell the dreamers that the nightmare is over
There’s no turning back
Nothing will be the same
I don’t want any more
The time has come
Oblivious to the world
We rise together
From the state of eternal sleep
Just pull the plug
There’s no turning back
The time has come
We rise together
Just pull the plug

Paroxysm
04:45
|
|||
Unite, come my brethren
Tonight, rise to rebellion
Behold the result of your madness
We are the product of the modern condition
We are the product of the modern condition
Unite, come my brethren
Tonight, rise to rebellion
This is not rage; this is passion
This is not hate; this is freedom
We’ve been waiting to relieve you of your wicked ways and corruption
The tide has changed, now we march streets
How does paranoia taste?
How does fear smell?
Can you feel the angry mob erupt?
How does slavery feel?
How does chaos look?
The time has come to rip the crown from your head and leave you high and dry to rot with the dead
Paroxysm has come to claim you
The paroxysm has spread
It won’t stop ‘til you’re dead

Zero Sum
05:13
|
|||
Endless competition for a greedy cut of the pie
As you bathe in fortune and lavish rivers of gold
We are the pawns in your twisted game
One decision away from imminent death
It’s an easy call when you’ve never pulled the trigger or faced the barrel
Did you think this would last forever
We’ve broken your foundation of tyranny and heresy
The more you take the more we lose
This is a game with finite points
The war gods display their might
The few players have the cards in their favour
And there’s nothing left to go around
We’ve broken your foundation of tyranny and heresy
Now we will rise from the ashes
Now we unite from the masses
There is no winner; only aggression
There is no victor; only repression
There’s no controller; only oppression
The game of chess has gone on far too long
Choke on your gold and drown in your riches
