Tracks
01. Uroboric Forms
Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Self is the universe, not separate
The state before the fall into self consciousness
Nothing is himself, everything is world
Primordial egg retains
Consciousness unborn
Pre-personal perfection
Bliss's screen yet untorn
Uroboric forms
Find itself as a separate entity
An ego germ is just beginning to be
Wherever there is other, there is fear
Birth, primal paradise
No gap distance or separation
Between self and environment
Unconditional omnipotence
Nothing is himself, everything is world
Consciousness unborn
Uroboric forms
02. The Eagle Nature
Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Learning, discerning, how to arrange
Thinking the haze will just not clear
Viewing, computing, our minds will stage
A vehicle inside we feel the eagle nature
Everchanging river flows high and low
Panoramic vision is undefined
For unfocused consciousness, the eagle nature
Precaution for a stream of risk, the eagle nature
It sees changes clear
A crystal goblet so fragile and dear
Needs fill one step at a time
Noting the fall of a sparrow
Attending the slightest scratch of flesh
Earthly ambitions weigh their share
The vastness of life, it doesn't care
A crystal goblet so fragile and dear
Needs fill one step at a time
Earthly ambitions weigh their share
The vastness of life does not care
03. Pleading For Preservation
Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
A choice, a chance to grieve
The tides of change
Plant a seed for preservation
Oils are drilling, whisking earth's insides
Persistence, man's resistance, such a burden
Childhood luck naivety
But she'll get your attention, when you proceed
A simple pattern
Grants a sale to the old fools
Cast a stone
The end of circumstance
Unconsciously needs time to build
Fears inside you
Grow in time to
Plant a seed
Pernicious thoughts just feed
Germinating constantly, helplessly
Now derived from inside you
A fear that reeks a mind misused
Charges fail without values
What vile you lent interpretation
Pernicious thoughts just breed
Scattering, helplessly
Time remains
