The Hydra's Heart

I've got a loaded barrel filled with zeroes
In case anyone tries to be a hero
A little less beast and a little more Sage
Roulette cocktails for the next New Age
Cut out the Hydra's Heart
The fines are high but the protest is free
Get your permission slip and come sit next to me
Who's that hiding in the corner of the dream?
Hyena's child laughing at the thought stream
Cut out the Hydra's Heart
Stretch my wingspan across the game plan
Give the human no place to stand
Stretch my wingspan across the game plan
I Am That I Am
Don't steady the ship
Let's merge with it
Bend with it's will and not fear the kill
The face embraces the mask
The character plays the man
The dreamer moves through liquid fear as best he can

Lucky Me

Poor fool crying please
In the gutter on his knees
To win the favor of his muse
To have it all and nothing to lose
Lucky me
I have no control
I have no choice
I've got no soul
I've got no voice
Baby blue gets his breast
Hero of the day beats his chest
The billions get programmed and optimized
As their leaders distract and strategize
Lucky me
I have no control
I have no choice
I've got no soul
I've got no voice
The one you're looking for is not me
No membership...I guess I'm just free
The Universe is in my hand
Why would I need a place to stand?

Ousted from the kingdom
We sit on the steps
Waiting at the gates
Digging for the scraps
You may aim to improve the thing you think you are
Feeding the mirage
Remembering every battle scar
Liar!
Upon the throne of wisdom
Tear a hole in the collective vision!
No one to save
Nothing to search for
Nothing to become
Let the colors run
Nothing to communicate
No word to spread
No power to accumulate
Illusion is dead
For beliefs will fall and knowledge dies
In a clearing the corpse draws flies
Don't be caught off your guard now
Don't be naive
Take off your frightened mask and breathe
Liar!
Upon the throne of wisdom
Tear a hole in the collective vision!

Out of the depths
I run
Through the terror and apathy
You've become dead to me
Free from bondage and will
I tun
Through the walls and veils of belief
Forward, rest is not tempting me
In and out of vessels
I run
Into the soft caress and the swift blow
And none affect me
A tourist in this world
I run
Like a man aflame
Whose name is of no concern
Fail!
Fail!
Burn the self-image
Fear not what will be left
All Hail!
Mountains bow down
Fear not
The time is now to tear it down
You spoke up when it was time to shut your mouth
I am your twin
I am the killer of the doubt
Fail!
Fail!
Burn the self-image
Fear not what will be left
All Hail!
Mountains bow down
Fear not
The time is now to tear it down
I appear to myself in the absence of time
Slice my hands on the skyline
Arms outstretched into open space
Empty vessel takes my place

The Fearless Seed

Bathe in the sandstorm
Bring us to rights
Carry the firstborn through perilous nights
All are shades blending
No work on it's own
Cage them
Separate them
None are alone
Release the seals
Let it bleed
Action now
Choicelessly
In the soil
The fearless seed
Fires of change
Come for me
There's smoke in the doorway
Blue light pouring through
Armies of intent
Forge what is true
The gates are wide open and the guard has left his post
Human being/doing
Face your ghost
Release the seals
Let it bleed
Action now
Choicelessly
In the soil
The fearless seed
Fires of change
Come for me
Longing is a fool's prayer
The shadow knows the man's there

Enough is Enough

The cogs move freely from station to station
to see where they fit in the plan
Ready to protest the death machine
With a permission slip from the man
Painting the egg
Never crack the shell
A beautiful actress famous in Hell
A plot of land, pray to maintain
A little piece of the Great Mundane, yeah
Enough is enough they say
And the words reverberate
Each one plays their own drum
And they syncopate

No One's Song

The night is long and full of ceremonial fury
Purifying smoke
No inside or outside
Everything bleeding through
Oceans of color bury deep
The thought of I or you
When the tide turns red
Fire in your head
All your foes have gone
Dance to no one's song
Blazing arrow fly
Crack right through the sky
Veil falls to the ground
Strawman burning down
Beautiful
Your thoughts impure
Your failure to comply
Unravelling all programming
Your mind an open sky

We Have No Problems

No problems
The waves are crashing high
The tide is coming in
No use in asking why
No time for running
There's no snag on the trail
It's your mind in the way
Processing for all of us
Predicting our decay
We have no problems
Everyone obsessed with the outward force
Programmed with drama and pain
The hopes of the masses dragged across the rocks
Playing the human game
That which concludes spreads
Finality on the open sea
The tower crumbles in celebration
Your face is lying on the ground
Earnest seeker, you're so serious
Don't you know the veil's already down?
Meaning is a corpse...and we mourn
Dogma thrives in certainty
Violence in authority
Pain in opinion
Fear in the minion
No problems
The waves are crashing high
The tide is coming in
No use in asking why
No time for running
There's no snag on the trail
It's your mind in the way
Processing for all of us
Predicting our decay
We have no problems
