The Illusion

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

Death Construction

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

The Light of Existence
05:00
|
|||
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

Basic Instructions

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)

Mid Bridge
Oh mind, Oh thinking, Oh to set you free
And I beyond clinging, and no one’s there but Thee
Solo

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)

Destined to Decay
10:01
|
|||
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
