Mantra 08:13
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

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
