about

It's full circle again. The grand perpetual déjà vu of existence... Time does not really exist, does it? But it doesn't matter, what counts is whether to be awake or not...

lyrics

RESIDENT POWER

HAVEN’T WE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE
RIDERS AMID THE SPIRITS OF THESE SHORES
NEITHER STILL NOR LIVE
NEITHER MIND NOR FLESH
IT IS PICTURE PERFECT
BUT IT MUST BE LEFT BEHIND
AS BARELY A FIGMENT ON YOUR MIND
MERELY A BLUR ON THE SPECTRUM OF TIME
OR NOT…

LEAVE EVERY STONE IN ITS PROPER SPACE
UNTIL YOU FIND THE COURAGE TO COME FACE TO FACE
WITH THE UNBRIDLED POWERS THAT RESIDE WITHIN
TO MEET THE INSTIGATOR
BEHIND THIS UNRAVELING PARADE
WILL YOU JOIN THE MASQUERADE
WILL YOU SHED THE GUISE
RISE TO ASSESS
EVALUATE
THIS MESS

NEITHER STILL NOR LIVE
NEITHER MIND NOR FLESH
IT IS PICTURE PERFECT
BUT IT MUST BE LEFT BEHIND

WILL YOU JOIN THE MASQUERADE
OR WILL YOU SHED THE GUISE
RISE TO ASSESS
EVALUATE
THIS MESS
