It’s Not The End

Better take a breath
There’s no way to escape
No one will hush the noise
I learn to explain the unknown reality
The world we could foresee has gone
I learn to explain the unknown reality
The world we could foresee has gone
It’s not the end
Better keep your head
The void comes back again
This fight burns up your soul
Vast and motionless, the unknown reality
Will test your every nerve and bone
It’s not the end
It’s the beginning
Your inner forces rise like a Phoenix
Rise from the ashes like a Phoenix
Rise like a Phoenix
Rise

Surreal

They say open the gate
Erase all dreams you have ever had
They say go down the drain
They say give up or you are dead
It’s on your mind, it’s in your hands
You face the giants on the wasteland
Surreal
Does it sound surreal?
This mode can liberate
This state will guide you the right way
It’s on your mind, it’s in your hands
You face the giants on the wasteland
On the wasteland
If you’ve never been there
There is your strength
So dare
Surreal
Does it sound surreal?
On the wasteland
There is your dream
There is your strength
So dare

Hail! Hail! AI

Hail! hail! AI
You understand, you decode
The new world
Our imperfect eye
Can’t recognize who we are
Who we’ll become

The Orb

When the lights go out
I reach the orb of doubts
Under the surface
The gentle shivers
There’s something that still resonates
It’s just a vision echoed by your never-ending absence
Or revolution breaking on through to the consciousness
I want to make a step
Beyond all my constraints
Get outside and ahead
It’s just a vision echoed by your never-ending absence
Or revolution breaking on through to the consciousness
I feel it in the air
Stillness turns to an act
If I am up to connect
When the lights go out
I reach the orb of doubts
My self, I, myself on the crossroads again
My self, I, myself
Got to take a chance

Hero

Now the eyes of all generations are upon you. The planet is dying, destroyed, sick of consumerism. Most people don’t even notice it. We run out of time. You can break this emotional blindness. We do believe you will face the dark side. Don’t fail us…

There is no pill, that makes you free
You’d better know your enemy
Just keep the trust, then you will see
You will grasp what’s going on

People suffer because of disrespect for nature, endless chasing, and competition. because of isolation…

Just keep the trust, then you will see
You will figure out what’s going on

Break the fears, awake
You are a hero, my friend
There is no better news to tell
You can find the source, reclaim yourself

You realize it’s not a dream
The river flows straight to the sea
Your racing heart will break the lines to go on
And read the thoughts for now unknown

Break the fears, awake
You are a hero, my friend
There is no better news to tell
You can find the source, reclaim yourself

We do believe you can slow down, listen to your inner world and restore tenderness. The change is coming…anyway

What You Sow

Trusting all else
In this circle
You gain a slowness
She will guide you
Try to follow the flow
You can
Trusting all else
Look at yourself
You are late but free
Floating up
You are halfway
You got buoyed by your soft dreaming
You got lifted by the feelings
Break the distance
Look at yourself
Thrilling, dazed
It is your time
The strength intensifies
For the first time in the daylight
You will get to know
The unknown
The reasoning keeps you sane
Keeps you safe on this way
Trusting all else
Mind your motion, your emotion
Mind your motion,
The gate is open
Look back, recall
The war is gone
All is said
So fly away
All is done
In the sun
Set and rise.
Keep on holding on
Reap what you sow
