1. Pure Our world has become tainted With ghosts of distant times Problematic entities and Esoteric crimes Light years before us Clearly I see A million virgin worlds Ten thousand ways to be A shining future waiting A promise of the pure Light traces guide us Through star charts we fly Towards our destination Our future's in the sky Step into the cold black To reach the distant light New dawn of consciousness Beyond the dark of night "All matter is merely energy Condensed to a slow vibration We are all one consciousness Experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as Death Life is a dream and we are The imagination of ourselves." A shining future waiting A promise of the pure 2. Blue Oceans Rise (Like A War) There is a wall inside our eyes I can't remember when I was your dream There is a sign calling in the sky I listen to your words See your visions and dreams I hear angels of the truth You are in my mind, in my soul Every day and every night Don't punish me with your empty words And cast me from your dreams Your hands lie heavy on me Because my sins have grown You are my understanding I bow down to your visions and dreams Pushing me down into the dark There was a black hole in my life Blue oceans rise like a war 3. Devil's At The Door Our consensus reality is collapsing Leaving behind a black hole of belief The Death of a star so near - yet far away Consuming all my grief Impossible to live this way One foot in our shared world But my soul's in my own creation I want to leave the world behind Live the story of my own narration The devil's at the doors of perception But our "Gods" are within us all Outside is chaos - so cold Battlefield of a billion armies I'll not submit to the will of another Why serve in hell, while my heaven's within Nothing you need is outside Forgive your own trespasses Open your mind, but not the door Don't let the darkness in See through the windows of his soul But don't look at the eyes 4. The Recalcitrant Protagonist All the archetypes surround me Different faces, different names They are the projections of beyond Ancient cast of the eternal play There are only so many stories Which we may find ourselves within To repeat over and over Until you learn the lesson therein All the archetypes surround me Different faces, different names They are the projections of beyond I found I had only a minor role In the play of my own destiny I had to improvise my role off-stage Beg the audience for clemency I'm the only one who hasn't seen the script And every day's like a well-rehearsed lie And though it seems they're selling tickets to my dreams I'd like to kiss the theatre goodbye 5. The Cave Of Dreams In this darkness We saw the shadows Dancing on the walls Bound by chains of ignorance Ignorance of light Intrigue of centuries Began to eat away At these fetters of enslavement Even when we were aware Of the "other" Your mind's dark mother We turned to face the light So blinding - so pure Illumination of the soul That burns into the mind Intense heat of knowledge Molten piercing blade Bringing psychedelic dreams ...Epiphanies As we left the darkness Walking into the light We cast shadows of ourselves Back onto the walls of the cave Four our brothers to follow It was not real - it is not real 6. Cult Of Shining Stars Storm cloud portal Take us to another place To another mind, another way A different time and space Kaleidoscopic tunnel Sounding metronomic tones Thunder crack and lightening black Onto twilight zones Pyramidic structures Trace magnetic lines Following the solar wind To tombs of distant times Geomantric paths To corners of the Earth The cult of shining stars Sing mantras of rebirth 7. Towards The Black Surreal Harvesting the stars Mining the black holes The Faustian spirit Values not his souls Gravity becomes distant When you venture out alone In a cosmos never-ending You can never find a home Exponential tunnel-vision Towards the black surreal Gravity becomes distant When you venture out alone In a cosmos never-ending You can never find a home 8. Transmission KRS [Instrumental] 9. This Dark Dream I stand behind this dark dream My pain laid bare for all to see My heart beats with power Strength pulsing through me My loved ones are turning on me Everyone is a black shadow My dearest friends turn their backs you see They want to take control This pain makes me stronger This loss makes me a sinner To endure makes me a winner In this game of life 10. Mystery Of The Constellations Slow unveiling, stars piercing light Draw back the curtains of this night I would be there in the blinking on an eye I need to know what lies beyond To learn the mystery of the constellations Until the morning star appears Studying texts a million light years wide The truth we can never know We can never reach this place Time's not on our side Our fragile feeble bodies Must be left behind So don't hold tight your beating heart Your breath won't serve you well You'll have to leave your body Or stay in mortal hell 1000 blinking eyes looking down... ...Waiting Mr. Fog: vocals, lyrics, guitars, keyboards Christopher "C:m." botteri: bass Anders Kobro: drums Christian "X" Botteri: guitars Lyrics in plain text format
