The Illusion 05:04
Couple What is it that I am beyond thinking, what is it that exists beyond clinging What is it that we are beyond reason, what is it that exists beyond treason Bridge Examining the process, what lies behind the movement? Solidifying the process, who accompanies the movement? Refrain Connected memories endlessly disguised by reason The building blocks of this parody creating the illusion (that) We are constant, real, individual beings, shaping our future We are kings of our destiny, unaware of our nature Couple No matter how I feel I abide in silence, no matter how I live I stay in silence No matter how I move I move in silence, no matter what comes embrace the silence Bridge Examining the process, what lies behind the movement? Solidifying the process, who abides with movement? Refrain Connected memories endlessly disguised by reason The building blocks of this parody creating the illusion (that) We are constant, real individual beings, shaping our future We are kings of our destiny, unaware of our nature Pre-solo Bridge Who lives beyond thinking, who lives beyond clinging, who lives beyond reason, who lives beyond treason Solo Refrain Connected moments endlessly disguised by reason The building blocks of this parody creating the illusion (that) We are constant, real individual beings, shaping our future We are kings of our destiny, unaware of our nature

Couple (Vocals: Sofoklis) Betrayed by hopes and desires, confined, restricted, oppressed It feels choked inside and cries are what heard and left to ingest If objectivity of intrapersonal views could be established by birth No one would seek becoming at all This dreadful tangle of needs Refrain Riding the waves of awareness Firm as the absence of sound Roaring when aroused by alertness Finish a life of lies reach the skies Couple (Vocals: Nikos) So meaningfully painful Moments arise violating infinity Bringing to surface a clear blackness To be enlightened, analyzed and freed I confirm the dominion of presence At the dark corners of the mind And aware of the fruiting essence I accept it and collide inside me Leads (Sofoklis) Refrain Riding the waves of awareness Firm as the absence of sound Roaring when aroused by alertness Finish a life of lies reach the skies Solo (Sofoklis) Refrain Riding the waves of awareness Firm as the absence of sound Roaring when aroused by alertness Finish a life of lies reach the skies

No Hope 04:57
Couple In this life we share a common womb our ancestry is conjoined Microcosmical almost identical we emerged randomly from chaos All living earthly beings evolved in the ecosystem preserving equilibrium Who could foresee that the future would bleed at the hands of ignorant logic? Refrain There’s no hope now, for our home now, we’re all heading towards destruction death and nothingness There’s no profit now, there no pleasure, no preservation of self, wealth, status and somethingness Couple Self-divided, consciously scattered, emotionally isolated from nature Man thrives through bloodshed, arrogance and pride ruining all forms of life in his way Hand in hand with the cosmic wheel of time which rolls and leaves darkness and ashes behind Egoism consumes the reservoirs of hate unaware of the upcoming fate Refrain There’s no hope now, for our home now, we’re all heading towards destruction death and nothingness There’s no profit now, there no pleasure, no preservation of self, wealth, status and somethingness Solo Refrain There’s no hope now, for our home now, we’re all heading towards destruction death and nothingness There’s no profit now, there no pleasure, no preservation of self, wealth, status and somethingness

Couple Karmic traces rooted deep in the subconscious mind Dictate ages Of lives day by day in pain, suffering And yet so mundane, again and again Bridge Meaninglessly, helplessly, endlessly we transmigrate Couple Demonic tendencies triggered by fantasies Sprouting fallacies, untrained how to resist? With many faces evil approaches Deludes the mindsets and drains willpower Refrain Fading away the light of existence Buried alive without resistance Under piles of dreams, wants and needs Burdened with malicious deeds Couple Viciously, treacherously, subconsciously We delve deeper In a sea of beliefs, into subjectivity Devising divinity, dividing reality Bridge Meaninglessly, helplessly, endlessly we transmigrate Refrain Fading away the light of existence Buried alive without resistance Under piles of dreams, wants and needs Burdened with malicious deeds

Couple Just sit up straight get ready to apply the beginningless art Evoked from the mystical past thousands of years ago Taught by the Blessed One who managed to see past the mirage The art of staying present beyond dualism, attentional schism Refrain Become aware of the incoming and outcoming breath Feeling the air in and out, relaxed, awake, interested Keep your attention focused and when you watch your mind wandering Acknowledge the fact and non-judgmentally go back (to the breath) Couple Keep practicing every day without exception The goal is to experience the mind’s existence beyond thinking Identify the base of consciousness as the mere and empty observer Carry the insight you gain integrating life in the present moment Refrain Become aware of the incoming and outcoming breath Feeling the air in and out, relaxed, awake, interested Keep your attention focused and when you watch your mind wandering Acknowledge the fact and non-judgmentally go back (to the breath) (Source: J.

Mid Bridge Oh mind, Oh thinking, Oh to set you free And I beyond clinging, and no one’s there but Thee Solo Mid bridge Refrain Become aware of the incoming and outcoming breath Feeling the air in and out, relaxed, awake, interested Keep your attention focused and when you watch your mind wandering Acknowledge the fact and non-judgmentally go back (to the breath) Solo

Couple Contemplating reality, investigating causality Analyzing duality, in the darkness a spark arises Time retreats in the background, in the clearing Clarity ascends Unclouded the mind-frame, it pierces through matter Bridge And I perceive like a newborn god the inherent seed of the fatal flaw I conceive like never before the inexistent nature (of everything) Refrain In the stillness unmoving, witness all All compounded things are destined to decay In the wilderness of sorrow All material things are destined to decay Couple The blood of youth is savaged and sucked away by age Disease disturbs the passage, and life disarrays Aren’t we all destined to die, our struggles to be seized by Death? Plunged in the deepest abyss, the glow of life dims Bridge And I perceive like a newborn god the inherent seed of the fatal flaw I conceive like never before the inexistent nature (of everything) Refrain In the stillness unmoving, witness all All compounded things are destined to decay In the wilderness of sorrow All material things are destined to decay Clean Wind part I’m hearing the wind whispering in my ears life is running away from me I’m watching the sky drawing my fears closing my eyes I’m leaving this place Midsection Couple Hey fools listen to this silent message Far is not the wreckage of worldly existence Midsection Refrain Hey… Utilize what is given to thee Awake…before darkness covers the scene Midsection Couple Hey wise ones listen to this blaring message Near is not the wreckage of the old becoming Midsection Refrain Hey… Utilize what is given to thee Awake…before darkness covers the scene Midsection Bridge Yeah all compounded things are destined to decay Yeah all material things are destined to decay Solo Midsection Bridge Yeah all compounded things are destined to decay Yeah all material things are destined to decay Solo Bridge And I perceive like a newborn god the inherent seed of the fatal flaw I conceive like never before the inexistent nature (of everything) Refrain In the stillness unmoving, witness all All compounded things are destined to decay In the wilderness of sorrow All material things are destined to decay
