[Chorus] Too much us and them Prop us up by put them down Validate us - demonise them Dismiss other - envious See too much us and them [Verse 1] Of other path ... reverse direction Of other faith ... dogma religion Of unbelief ... squandered human birth Of atheist ... conditioned impasse [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 2] Of lower class ... inferior birth Of other race ... DNA tainted Of animals ... dominion Of other species ... sorry existence [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 3] Of other side ... demonisation Of other view point ... invalidation Of other truth ... confused perception Of other why ... hidden agenda [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Of other known ... contrived conclusion Other given ... Maya's illusion Of other goal ... foolish objective Of other soul ... forgot connection

Authority Wall 02:57
lyrics

[Verse 1] Fourfold imperfection finger point Tendency to cheat or make mistake Sense perception limited Illusion habitual predisposed Disqualified from truth be known [Verse 2] Magical you problem solve decide Chance authority identified Possibility reject Incomplete is comprehension Preach as if your words now speak for God [Chorus] Hide behind authority wall Self deceive no own opinion Personal appreciation [Verse 3] Demonise who disagree with you To your mind they disagree with God In your head you represent Guru sadhu sastra transparent Absolute singular judgement [Repeat Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Probability deny Incomplete appreciation Do or don't? Choose cosy black and white [Spoken word] For me personal appreciation is something to celebrate rather than deny because owning realisation makes being non-judgemental / non-dismissive much more obtainable. Okay, it's not so cosy - thinking my own comprehension is incomplete - but surely that is a price worth paying?

[Chorus v1] Reject judgement they are wrong View point accepted Only mine reasonable too Valid also my perspective [Verse 1 ] History theirs How arrived at this place Stand before me head to head today Mine is different Personal journey But no less worthy, no more objective [Chorus v2] Reject judgement you are wrong View point accepted Only mine reasonable too Valid also my perspective [Verse 2] Reality Experiential Feeling feelings undeniable Victim sometimes Sometimes aggressor But always blinkered vision-subjective [Chorus v3] Reject judgement I am wrong View point accepted Only yours reasonable too Valid also your perspective [Verse 3] Finger pointing Prejudice absorbed Back to childhood trusted social norms Deep conditioned Never questioned blame game Never challenged, might we start again now?

Know Your Day Is Coming 04:00
lyrics

[Verse 1] The trouble with playing this victim game Is you believe you have no power So you deny your self wisdom to change how you choose When you decide you have had enough. Is that you? [Verse 2] The problem with a mind that can't move on Is all you get is more of the same And in the end there is no one to blame / shame It's up to you how much you prolong. It's your call [Chorus] Sense the sun a rising Feel the fog a clearing Hear the birds a singing Know your day is coming soon [Verse 3] And in the morning you will feel alright When you arise you'll see things different You simply have to open up your eyes / realise For believe you me all things change when you wake [Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 1] All your life you feel That there is something wrong For you know this isn't real When the piper plays his song [Verse 2] You are searching for the truth Some answer to it all But nothing is making sense While you're setting on the fence [Instrumental 1] [Chorus] You don't wanna know no lies Believe as true untruth disguised They are never gonna compromise you, no [Verse 3] And now at last you find meaning for your life Satisfies your mind And brings you love sublime, and ... [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 4] Never again you resolve Will you be betrayed by need No more to pretend you know Things you should only believe [Instrumental 2] [End] You don't wanna know no lies

Less Is Given 02:55
lyrics

[Verse 1] I was searching for answer THE Explanation done and dusted Simple reasoned understanding All I found was extra questions [Verse 2] I was hoping for conclusion Journey ended celebration Final reaching destination All I found was stop over short [Chorus] All I know is More discover - less is certain More is hidden - less is given [Verse 3] I was praying for direction Which religion judge the best one Do you even want submission? Is my purpose your prescription? [Repeat Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 4] I was hoping for a sign post Indication getting somewhere Reassurance making progress Speculation validation [Repeat Chorus] [Spoken word] Less is given ... not in the verb sense - past tense of the word 'give' - rather in a noun sense 'known or established facts or situations'. For me these becoming less and less the more I learn. I wonder what Socrates would have to say? Am I getting any closer to knowing / becoming aware of the extent of what I don't know? Do I still think I know something?
