Cost Of My Moment
02:48
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Promise of heaven
Pass by my here and now
Sinner redemption
Roll on that afterlife
Freedom from evil
No more bad apple eater
[Verse 2]
Nietzsche despairs of
Missed opportunity
Place to escape from
Land of the banished soul
Realm of the fallen
Prison of birth death disease
[Chorus]
Focus on future
Intangible life
Faith destination
Cost of my moment now sacrifice
[Verse 3]
Prayers to my unseen
Fear of uncertainty
Slave to my cosy
Loyal to my predisposed
Blind to my gamble
What if I'm already home?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Lost to my dreaming
Head in my fantasy
Trapped in my scheming
Pray what believe will be
Dissatisfaction
Anywhere else but here please
[Repeat Chorus]

Know Your Power
02:08
|

[Chorus v1]
Potent your intention
Because of who you are
Know your power
Be careful what you wish for
[Verse 1]
Lest you take birth again
Believe self fallen soul
Sinner need of redemption given
[Verse 2]
Lest you past life forget
Believe victim hopeless
Feel abandoned by God - cast adrift
[Chorus v2]
Potent your intention
Because of who you are
Know your power
Be careful what you work for
[Verse 3]
Lest you reincarnate
Believe karma debt fate
Only get what deserve manifest
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Lest you return for more
Poison perpetuate
Further explore - resume where left off
[Chorus v3]
Potent your intention
Because of who you are
Know your power
Be careful what you desire

Na Jāyate
02:40
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Celebrate rising of the sun
Samsara dawn reborn
Some say this but another day
Others you get just one
Some say explore divinity
Others soul sinner judge
Either way, given wrong or right
Foundation set for life
[Chorus]
Na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin
Nāyaḿ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ
Oṁ
[Verse 2]
Celebrate setting of the sun
Tomorrow confident
Certain your smile again will grace
No need to night lament
Even forget your yesterdays
Tomorrow rise for sure
Light hidden only from my eyes
Somewhere your sunshine shines
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Celebrate waxing of the moon
Night sky illuminates
No more blind wander in the dark
Always collaborate
Soul part and parcel of the one
Desire many become
All contributions positive
Even unconscious live
[Repeat Chorus x2]
[Bhagavad gita 2:20 Spoken]
For the soul there is never birth nor death, nor having once been does the soul ever cease to be.

Worthy Divine
03:08
|
|||
[Verse 1]
So when you feel lonely
Anonymous nobody
Normality alienation
And everywhere never connect
Your point of view no one accepts
And nobody gets we are stardust
[Chorus]
Believe now is time setting stage
For beautiful future to come
Contextual for act yet to play
Finale grand worthy divine
[Verse 2]
So when you feel misunderstood
Imposed upon what do you should
And preacher forgets choice is sacred
Religion decrees you are wrong
Unauthorised thoughts don't belong
Society judges you far gone
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
So when you see doubt all around
Dependable truth can't be found
Reliable trust just illusion
And when you fear darkness tonight
Sense everywhere absence of light
Feel faith in God positive shaken
[Repeat Chorus]
|

Come Clean
03:29
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Why hide you your divine
Disguise you your sacred
Play helpless
Powerless
Pretend?
[Verse 2]
Why play you karma slave
Embrace you fate obliged
Entangled
Against will
Hands tied?
[Chorus]
But don't fool me, I see you believe
You can't hide it, you might as well come clean
[Verse 3]
Why reject your power
Dismiss you your Goddess
Play blame game
Claim victim
Abused?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental + spoken word]
I'm not saying you are God, but at the same time I'm not saying you are not God. Inconceivable simultaneous oneness and difference. That's what I'm saying.
[Verse 4]
Why argue unworthy
Why deny entitled
Buy fallen
Fact given
Ego?
[Repeat Chorus]

After Party
03:25
|
|||
[Chorus v1]
If I, I were God I'd arrange an after party
Question: How much more benign is God than I?
[Verse 1]
When the final show has curtain called
And cast of players take their final bow
[Chorus v2]
I know if I, I were God I'd arrange an after party
Question: How much more able is God than I?
[Verse 2]
When the troupe disperse - go separate ways
Return to families, forget the stage
[Chorus v3]
I know if I, I were God I'd arrange an after party
Question: How much more high five does God than I?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
All the world's a stage, so Shakespeare says
Actors - the hats they wear, the roles they play
[Chorus v4]
Still know if I, I were God I'd arrange an after party
Question: How much more divine sees God than I?

Yours Too?
02:12
|

Melody by Gustav Holst composed in 1906 for Christina Rossetti's 'Bleak Mid Winter' poem
[Verse 1]
Are my feelings yours too
As this world explore
Seen as for the first time
Is my wonder yours?
Are my joyful tears cried
Beautiful anew?
Is my point of view held
Window you see through
[Verse 2]
Is my delusion yours
Times I lose my mind?
Are my baby steps yours
Times I answers find?
Is my everything yours
Turn of every stone
All experiences lived
Mine and witness both?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Conscious or unconscious
Yours nevertheless
Choice my love to offer
I alone possess

[Repeat Chorus]

Experience approved
[Spoken]
I believe this, though I might be wrong.

No ears for my words
Hear me harshly
Feel me heartless
No ears for my words
[Verse 1]
Claim your divine
Know your power
Conscious own it
No blame or judgement
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
You create things
By your desires
By your choices

Elephant In The Room
02:41
|
|||
[Chorus]
Live a fantasy
Bury head in sand
Eyes refuse to see
Still this elephant looms large
[Verse 1]
No matter you deny
Death is out to get you
Time and tide for no one waits
No matter creative
Is your wishful thinking
You cannot avoid this fate
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Say you cannot let go
Say you will not accept
Is within your power? No
Believe only get one
Eat and drink, be merry
Grim reality forget
[Instrumental]

Flesh identify with
When the body dies - end
No one can survive - certain
There's no after life - claim
God does not exist - preach
But you can't escape - out run
[Repeat Chorus]

Claustrophobia
02:58
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Speculation unauthorised
Conditioned soul disqualified
Heart dare not trust deceit and lies
Somebody else will set you right
[Chorus]
No room to move, no inspiration space
Articulate oneness and difference
Self divinity sacred adventure
Claustrophobia (spiritual utopia)
[Verse 2]
Teacher knows best - better than I
Snake preach is rope, no question why
Drag to success, ego deny
Envious of God identify
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Narrow my view, blinker my eyes
Words read parrot as if were mine
Dogma repeat as if were wise
Mind follow blind, toe party line

[Verse 1]
Said afterlife
Wonder what it's like?
Tunnel of light
Some say saw
[Verse 2]
Was fantasy
Or some astral place
Disembodied souls
Ghosts haunt?
[Chorus]
Whatever believe afterlife
However death survive it
Question: What now you think here is?
[Verse 3]
Said afterlife
Choice heaven or hell
Only get one chance
Believe - preach

Or is open book
Choose nirvana void
Or angelic realm?
You decide
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Said afterlife
Soul transmigration
Reincarnate
Again and again
[Repeat Chorus]

I propose this present life is simply your most recent afterlife

[Chorus]
Forever personal
No question liberation lose
Eternal individual you

And what are you
Without object
Intelligence?
To realise
Divinity
Divine express
[Repeat Chorus]

And what are you
Without eye sight
To recognise?
And memory
To love recall
Relational?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
And where are you
In blob of bliss
In spark of light
Nirvana void
Emotionless
Ego denied?
[Repeat Chorus]
