Rituals and Magic
02:24
|
|||
|
There are rituals and magic
Which are symptomatic of a counterfeit philosophy
Which forms inside a sterile opportunism
Never to be had by those who toil and suffer
Obtaining riches while the rest of us surrender to them
Rituals and Magic
There are rituals and magic
Which have a boundless path and impractical to follow
Which reveals the face of the constant devolution
Prevailing distrust darkens the lives of those
Whose voice cannot reach the ears of the guilty ones
Rituals and Magic
There are rituals and magic
Which offer hope and health and peace to the prisoners
Which starts the dance and frees the mind to think
Rituals and Magic

And questions and questions and questions …

We fold our hands before going farther
We fold our hands before going farther
We fold our hands before going farther
We fold our hands before going farther

Moon In The Water
04:13
|

|
Empty - in a single drop of water
Ability - to reflect the entire sky
The thoughts of ourselves apart from ourselves
Empty – the light does not divide you
Ability – the moon does not break water
The thoughts of ourselves apart from ourselves
Empty – endless moonlight in the sky
Ability – to not want to see the end
The thoughts of ourselves apart from ourselves
Empty – to know how deep of a drop
Ability – is then the height of the moon
The thoughts of ourselves apart from ourselves
Empty – cannot hinder illumination
Ability – to know where is the light
The thoughts of ourselves apart from ourselves
Empty – letting go of all the reasons
Ability – to then release your firm grip
The thoughts of ourselves apart from ourselves

Final Act

All this wild unending chatter.
Is enough to drive me wild.
All the clashing and the crashing.
And the smashing and the bashing.
With a din to wake the dead.
Everyone has lost their head.
Rolling lurching pitching tossing.
On a rough and stormy crossing.
Staggering stumbling toppling falling.
In all directions calling.
With a din to wake the dead.
Everyone has lost their head.
And repeating and repeating.
Like a thousand hammers beating.
To a din of horrid orgies.
In a fiend’s infernal forges.
With a din to wake the dead.
Everyone has lost their head.

The state exists in order to make it possible
for religion to take hold of morality.
This is embedded in nature
and completely thought conceived.
The family exists to bring about a security
in its form as a tribe.
This is embedded in nature and
without a thought to conceive
The religion
The state
The family
The tribe

Through the years they tried to synchronize
Man and machine; machine and man
Using fear they tried to dull our eyes
Man and machine; machine and man
Despite the leers they tried to weave their lies
Man and machine; machine and man
Through the cheers they tried to harmonize
Man and machine; machine and man
And careers they tried to oversize
Man and machine; machine and man
Using smears they tried to win the prize
Man and machine; machine and man
Through the years they finally synchronized
Man and machine; machine and man
Now with tears we’ve had to close our eyes
Man and machine; machine and man
With their peers they now control our lives
Man and machine; machine and man

Bring back the toxin which once was the king
Completely repugnant and unable to swing
Spread all the toxin throughout the hillside
This is the only way to be satisfied
To hell with your toxin I will not obey
You can teach me no reason
By night or by day
Your imputed pomposity betrays your preserve
In maintaining an order that we all deserve
Bring back the toxin to which all must submit
A breach of the order one will never commit
Enjoy this here toxin as it steals from you time
You've entered on our count the end paradigm
You can say what you will about the toxin you boast
I will never give in - I will stay by my post
Your toxin is deadly - your thoughts are maligned
The world I imagine is not in your mind

On the line the whole rank stops.
Given to explain
Its military judgment.
On the line standing in the rank.
Under the equipment
Seeming to take root.
On the line back into the action
The orders and the threatening
Are the rumbles of approval.
On the line cold hearted smile.
Snapping to attention
To the voice of command.
Weak and ignorant

To see the self which is the self
Despite the self not be the self
Outside the self inside the self
To know the self as in the self
Project the self unto the self
Without the self unite the self
Knowing the self to be the self
To see the self which is the self

Land Of Joy

One word settles the flame
One sword levels the earth
One look restores the sight
Reject the lie; embrace the fear
Fine sport this chase of brute creation
Prepare your body for cremation
And don't be caught up in your own frustration
Sallow is the face of all mutation
You consider your life for their employ
Leaving behind a broken toy
Say hello to the girl and boy
And welcome them to the land of joy
Land of joy where to now Land of joy where to now
Land of joy where to now Land of joy where to now
Take a breath now for your one big day
Do not consider what the clerics say
They never really do much anyway
Except sit and demand that you must pray
But I tell you that you should deploy
With all your power to annoy
The ones who see you as their whipping boy
And enter into the land of joy
Land of joy where to now Land of joy where to now
Land of joy where to now Land of joy where to now

Each picture has a special colour
Each picture has own splash
Each picture has its artists’ stake
Each picture has its own effect
Each picture is an understanding
To him the man on common ground
Each picture has its own story
Each picture cries out to be touched
Each picture steers a silent face
Each picture lives in higher esteem
Each picture is a living being
To him the man on common ground
Each picture is its own number
Each picture has a single breath
Each picture has a soul in motion
Each picture has a thought possessed
Each picture is a work of art
To him the man on common ground

Kindled in
The hearts of men
Break down the walls
Move right in
We fight for peace
So mightily spread
Taking hold
You move right in
Counselling
Those who sin
Pray for your enemies
Move right in
Time has seen
Your weapon drawn
Into this world
You move right in
Trading in
Wages of men
For social good
You move right in
Weighing in
The rules of men
Dividing the wealth
You move right in

Welcome Land

On the way back home
Fantasy seduces you
Into a trance you roam
Leave behind the fears that hold you
Back to where you’re born
The Welcome Land of joy surrounds you
Underneath the dome
You spend your life forgetting that you’re free
Through the firestorm
Compelled by nature to relax
Into a world we’re thrown
Far behind the dreams that led us there
Before we’re shown
The Welcome Land of joy provides
A life you’ve never known
And spend that life forgetting that you’re free
Listen to me if you can - Listen to me if you know
Listen to me with your mind - Listen to me with your soul
Splish splash - Splish splash - Splish splash - Splish splash
Unfolded and now grown
This fantasy will not seduce you
Deep in the danger zone
And leave behind those fears that haunt you
Go back to where you’re born
The Welcome Land of joy enchants you
Roll away the stone
Remembering the fact that you are free
Splish splash - Splish splash - Splish splash - Splish splash
Splish splash - Splish splash - Splish splash - Splish splash

Excerpts from "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau.
A man laid out alive and standing.
Already buried under arms.
Not a drum was heard. Not a funeral note.
Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot.
A mass of men to serve the state.
But not as men but as machines.
With their bodies they are standing.
Free from any moral judgment.
Marching in admirable order.
Does this keep a country free?
Be judged by effects of your action.

Shallow

Deep in the shallow - they place us underground
Stand on the gallows - where then you will be crowned
Stir up the hollow - you will be ever bound
Choose who to follow - and don't make a sound
Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages
Deep in the shallow - where you work for life
Until tomorrow - your only way is strife
It's a fiasco - but put away your knife
The better way then - is to realize
Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages
Deep in the shallow - you find a sordid pile
Each breath you borrow - each grave that you revile
Don't sit and wallow - don't learn the ways of guile
Even Apollo - obtained a better style
Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages
Deep in the shallow - they place us underground
Stand on the gallows - where then you will be crowned
Stir up the hollow - you will be ever bound
Choose who to follow - and don't make a sound
Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages

See the sun in the midst of the rain.
Take clear water from the heart of the fire
Hear the thunder in the midst of the shine
Endure the pain of the loss … of the way
People of the earth living with the land.
Respecting its limits always giving back.
People of the earth honouring the spirit.
The secrets of their riches held tight inside their souls.
People of the earth standing tall for freedom.
The wisdom of the ages passed down to the youth.
People of the earth harmonious with nature.
Not imposing their will but letting her has her way.
People of the earth defend against intruders.
Who do nothing but destroy and rob them of their rights.
People of the earth innocent and peaceful.
While those of the world are jaded and uneasy.
People of the earth you cannot be forgotten.
People of the earth your heritage lives.
People of the earth united in spirit.
People of the earth you pay the price for progress.
People of the earth
People of the earth
People of the earth

Still asleep – your face on the rocks

Still asleep – you’re still asleep
Still asleep – chasing a dog
Still asleep – your hand in the mud
Still asleep – slow to recover
Still asleep – your arms to the sky
Still asleep – you’re still asleep
Still asleep – you're never awake
Still asleep – your body in chains
Still asleep – you're still asleep
Still asleep – you're still asleep
Still asleep – you're still asleep
Still asleep – you're still asleep
