The Creation Dream
04:44
|
|||
Purest dream instantly conceived
Seven days make the weak
Cells divide, code propelled
An imagination is born
Warm hum, pervades
prevailing atmosphere
Explore a womb, introverted inner space
From the moment that life
was made out of nothing
In the absence of light,
but still it finds a way
In the dreaming
The secret to creation
Rainbow of thought, sans prior knowledge
Perceive new shapes,
new colours not yet seen
From the moment that life
was made out of nothing
In the absence of light,
but still it found a way
In the dreaming
Safe from outside influence
Forge a new year zero
Sum of the parts equal .... sentience

It's Alive
03:50
|
|||
From the first breath is breathed
a rare wisdom
It is not stained by any experience
Quite overwhelming
World to be discovered
All the right tools to learn the true story
Before it becomes a war of uncertainty
Base existence
Honest point to build upon
Wondrous time to ponder
the master scheme
Imagine a beam of light to travel on
Endless prospects
What a time it is to be alive

Unconditional Lie
04:32
|
|||
In possession of a genuine sense
Presented with a question to ask
“Why is the sky blue?”
Answer points to providence, as if it is fact
In isolation what path would a child take?
There is a temptation
to repeat the same mistakes
Loss of objectivity
Not close to a balance
Only report what you see, the rest is theory
Conflict of multiple ideologies
Damaging irrecoverably
Abusing your children with an
unconditional lie
Just as a man loses the status of a hero
The day will come when a parent is fallible
Some things are rightly beyond their control
One thing that is not is this unconditional lie

All Suns Die
02:54
|
|||
Innocence is a blissful state
Hold on for as long as you can
Trap…its purity
The day I first faced my mortality
Was the day I found out
the Sun would die
All Suns Die
If it were possible to turn back time
To avoid the moment of discovering
the lie
Would you try?
The day I first faced my mortality
Was the day I found out
the Sun would die
An end to childhood,
Which would start the journey
To build foundations
For what I will become
The day I first faced my mortality
Was the day I found out
the Sun would die

Known
04:48
|
|||
Could you have known?
In such a short time
Tragedy impacts so many lives
The weight of a soul
Cannot be lost
Energy back to the great reservoir
The burden may not
Become any less
For all of those left behind
Cruelty is blind
Not malevolent
There is no blame to assign
Death is just one ending
To open a beginning
But do not let them tell you what is next
It’s hard to find comfort
From words in the dark
When there are they
That don’t make it home
The very worst hour
Of hollowness
Was standing alone in an empty…… room
Do not let the pain take you
Somewhere you cannot return

Harden to Art
01:09
|
|||
To change from one state or concept,
move on
At its core: animal modulation
Harden to art as the cynicism starts
Rage grows, hate flows
Uncompromising, a strength and weakness
No will to bend will leave a broken mess
Make a transition from an angry young man
Or end up in the cold: lost
|

Taste of Doom
03:30
|
|||
General talent, not to be overlooked
Underestimate good judgement
There will be times of snark hunts
And many more blind alleys
Or a quest for phlogiston
History is a colourful journey
Respect for real progress
It might still pull us back
from the edge of doom
Masters of an age:
The anthropocene
Selfless acts are not so rare
Basic nature is not evil
Could perfection be a pipe dream?
With no heaven or utopia
Intrinsic, key values
Must change for a chance to be had
Education, critical thinking
End tradition for its own sake
Masters of an age:
The anthropocene
While the resources are there
So too is a threat: a taste of doom

Being Human
02:10
|
|||
Prayer is a mask for the helpless
Hiding from the unknown
that they have been told to fear
The proudest achievement is
to experience
When your child (thinks to) prove
you wrong
Being human
A gift wasted by some
Being human
Give a thought to what that means
|

Free Will
04:28
|
|||
To test faith; tempt alternatives
Your devil is your potential….
A priest lies to protect a redundant view
Tho’ never real it enslaved the world
you knew
Men behind the curtain pull the strings
Open your eyes, learn for yourself
Why must tradition hold you back?
Why is what you have not enough for you...?
For every child that died unnecessarily
There is a stooge that worshipped popularity
Perhaps one piece of the fiction
could be true? And that is this: free will
Every creed there ever was
Has nothing to hide behind
All faiths will dissolve
In the passages of time
If your god would punish you
Two thousand years of servitude
Perhaps he is no god
The god is you, (inside) free will
When the clouds have moved aside
You will see the puzzle gone....
Forevermore resist the mythology
Criticise with what you can verify
A choice apart from blind faith:
The greatest sin of all

From the Earth, to the air
To the moon,
Next step, to the stars
We have come so…
This mind to achieve will not stop
Just shows that hope is there
We have come so far!
You can go crazy musing on
The vastness of space
Time is a thought in a Universe
Fourteen billion years old
When I face the void, I will be complete
Finally free to know the ending
Realm of darkness awaits all the faithful
As it does everything else that
ever drew breath
Science does not have all the answers
But your doctrine, it has none
There is no pain in being
wiped from existence
Disappear as if taken into thin air
As afternoon moves to the evening
The cult of one Empire will close
Too many shades for just one lifetime
The wind will never blow the same again
