Dead Dialectics
06:11
|
|||
Discord in thought
Contention and discussions
Are struck down to nurse
The feeble disdain and virtue
The antithesis is an imperative
For in contrast sense is revealed
The synthesis is impossible if speech is sanctioned
Causing the death of dialectics
What rings as dissonance in your head
May be the melody of rectitude
Cacophonous or not, every voice must resonate
So we may
Expose poor thoughts for what they truly are
The very freedoms permitting bigotry
Are the same that render it obsolete, A mere aberration
In liberation of deliberation morality blossoms
And the best ideas will prevail
Your frailties are no grounds for censure of voices
Polemic thoughts and strife are crucial for progress
In silence your own views may fester and spoil
Polemic thoughts and strife are crucial for progress
Unchecked your own thoughts may fester and spoil
Into the very views you oppose
All voices resound

Mitral Genesis
04:50
|
|||
From the ground
They all rise
Veins glow of red
Green - gold
Iron Marshall force
Propelled
By this earthly source
I drive
Onward more
Each push
To an open door
Alleviating
This dis-ease
Releasing tensions
Set free
Generate vitality
Elevate efficiency
Motivate
The obstacles you've overcome have always been surmountable
The power to transcend is in determination
The obstacles you'll overcome will always be surmountable
When you find your catalyst
My Own Genesis

We Who Wander
04:49
|
|||
One does not need a concrete destination
To tread this path
(Purposefully)
Meandering’s worth more than destitution
Of
(Our sanity)
To some this path is wayward and repulsive
Nothing but
(Futility)
But callow judgment doesn’t mar this path of ours
It ensures it’s true
Cultivation of imagination
Exploration of Creation
So servile are your tastes you preach us conformity
In petty languish and advice you don’t see the irony
One mustn’t merely exist in derelict verve
A slave to a compass
Inspire expression. Eccentric, eclectic
..And so we wander
What we feel is reality
As we reciprocate energy
In absence of leisure
Meaning is meaningless
Despisers of the arts are despisers of life

Cornerstones
05:11
|
|||
1-2-3-4 Go
You mean so much to this team
Stoking our desires, doubts recede
Walls of doubt recede
Building it up
Wind in our sails
Holding it down
Cornerstones, you make us strong
Explore the obscene
Pursue the extremes
How we feel the unseen
Guiding us to follow dreams
Cornerstones, You are
Expose your spectres
Let go of ties that are severed
The kindred spirit
That carry us along
Anchored love
We grow strong

Paragon
05:57
|
|||
Discord, division and strife
Will happen in due time
I get stuck in my head
And I want to be right more than kind.
Treasuring the mistakes
Staring truth in the face
On the other side of fear
I can blossom with grace
When all things fray
And I'm bereaved of peace
To keep serpents at bay
I tear myself down
The weight in my chest
The pain and the stress
Giving nothing more than my best
The haze of mystery
Enchantment and pursuit
The connections that were made
How we relate in the fade
A paragon
A mirror for me
To heal and feel
And set myself free

Mechanical Gods
05:46
|
|||
It’s time we recognize the gravity of the…
Paradox of progress induced regression of
Hope and optimism
Caused by unprecedented accumulations
Of intellectual
Aptitudes that will change this current paradigm
And make us relinquish
Any remaining delusions of our supremacy
Building mechanical gods
The imminence
Of the advent
Warrants our wish
And our fear
We’ve created every God
This is the first to be real
It is salvation
And it’s the eschaton
The plight of humanity incongruous with the deity’s
Plan of
Perfection to be achieved through intelligence and rationality
Our aims
Have grown increasingly divergent matters not inherently benevolent
Worst case
The gods want to purify and we are now the anomaly
Disposable - Our Existence
Our End
The Means
To Their
End

Grave
06:28
|
|||
Dagger in the back
The blood's on my hands
Swallowed tongue, hurt of sound
I'm choking on silence
Smothered Sanity
Subterfuge no more
Asphixiated
I gasp for air
It swirls inside
A decaying light slowly taking hold
A constant knot
Of fear and guilt from tales left untold
Convince Myself
Just one mistake a deviated mold
And in the dark
Devoid and all alone
Staring at the space below
I want to console but I dug the hole
My spine as absent as my will to emerge from this void
I'll call, My Grave
