lyrics

Pt. 1: 'the preparation'

So now I welcome the primal sun to enter my sides.
To find out where I belong. So anxious to bow before the Source.

Pt. 2: 'the cleansing'

Eye shut. Pitch black.
Heart racing. I'm gone.

Here though unaware.
The snake invades my core and rips a nerve.
The hours fade.
The echo still remains and so reveals the skies.

See myself dissolve into the Earth.
Overwhelmed, my energy ignites.
Sparks up, unearths the vine.

Feel my insides turning out
as the outside finds a way within.

Mad wizard.

Pt. 3: 'the arrival / the ceremony'

I overcame your trials. Still, to meet you at last. Such a virtue.
White angel, mother mine. Your breath a language of its own.
Speak to me.

Rid my pain through you.
Help me shed my skin.
The ceremony begins.

Let go.
I expect nothing in all its forms. Different.

Pt. 4: 'the self-destruction'

Empty mind. Hollowed and barren sight.
Inner self leaving the outer shell.

Chase the ghost with emerald eyes.
Must escape the orchard's wrath.
Nothing is nowhere. This whole thing's mad as hell.
See the cosmic circus go.
Grasping straws 'til one grabs on.

Pt. 5: 'the retrieval of the anchor'

See through transparent eyes.
Breathe still. Ease now.
Forgive. Be kind.
Isolate your I.

What do you even expect of me, this trivial peasant?
Let go.

Roam.
Reign.
Regret nothing.
