Karma Sown
An opposition of inner vision | A spiritual collision shakes the sky | Alive but drowning in indecision | Vivid illusion of demon in divine | In the cages of the mind | Serpentine and intertwined | Nihilistic and alive | From the breath we hold inside | Where the earth connects to sky | I am reaching for the light. Are we free | Have I wings to carry me | From the ever-changing river to the everlasting sea | Finally from a never-ending dream | To awaken by the light of a merging duality. The evolution of our becoming | The generation of inner chaos - why | I am awake and I am becoming | Connect the fragmented self and humanize. [prechorus/chorus] I awoke to find myself adrift on a river turning | Back and forth between the East and West | And as I reached for either side I could not believe my eyes | My reflection turned away - my intentions blur | My attempts to find the way - prodigal return | Where the children play - where the ashes lay. [prechrosu/chorus]

Remember | Wonders of the sun | Surrender | To what takes you beyond | When the world - drags you under | Suck the soul - your dependency | Then she comes - just to keep you alive. To save you | Taking you outside yourself. She's keeping the fire of the unknown | She's keeping the secret alive | Some answers you'll never ever find. An ember | Can only fight so long | With darkness | Until its will is gone | When the world - drags you under | Suck the soul - of your apathy | Then she comes - just to keep you alive. [prechorus/chorus] We're chasing the fire of the unknown | Its medicine makes you alive | Some answers you'll never find. Intuition - vision myopic | Imprecision | Contrasting with the sense illusion | Beyond all reason | Close your eyes and let go. [chorus]

Many years have passed since I was of another | In the chaos of confusion, self assured and unaware | Making sense of who we are is never easy | Under spell of the seduction of a mistress dark and bare. A cold reality | A suicide aware. Desperate moments | Awakened by conscience that won't release me | I am falling | Betrayal of a conscious mind. The unbroken line between the now and memory | In the shadows of my past were distant lights of who I am | Secrets kept inside, illusions unforgiven | Once the blood has stained the skin there is no savior from within. A pyrrhic victory | The aftermath again. [chorus] Severing | Denial to illuminate our belief | Separate | The shadow from the truth inside | In the end | To forgive | Is the blood of who we are | Reckoning | From within | Is belief in who we are.

I realize you speak of grace (Speak of grace in suffering) | But how can I when we are made | (We are made so ugly) | Through jaded eyes it's hard to keep | (Hard to keep your faith alive) | So civilized - we speak in tongues, shaking hands and drawing knives. Bleed your sons and serve you masters | Bleeding through the devil's laughter. Like a mother's prayer | I will call on you now. Through jaded eyes it's hard to keep your faith alive | So civilized - we speak in tongues, shaking hands and drawing knives. [prechorus/chorus] Candles burn | Grace of angels | Light the world | Like a mother's prayer | In this blood | Find a reason | Cry for love | Like a mother's prayer | The aggression lies in between the lines | Where intentions hide - angel wings denied | Reaping karma sown | We all die alone - waiting for a sign, waiting for a prayer. [chorus] Finding grace in suffering.

Facing you I am not sure | What is poison, what is pure | Questioning, uncertainty | Sacrifice or keeping score | Shelter from the world outside | Mirrors shine, they cannot hide | Paradox of sharing life | Killing hearts and giving eyes. Scars that do not break the skin | Hearing without listening | Of this we shall never speak | Giving out or giving in | Every day reveals this truth | I cannot shed my skin for you | Caught in this uneasy dance | Of being one and breaking two | Changing shapes | Two strangers just saving face | Cannot trust, afraid to hurt | Try to fight, unite, surrender. I can't see through your eyes into mine | Prisms between our eyes - bending light | Can't shed this skin for you | Between us this nameless truth | As we both just fall away. I can't see through your eyes into mine | Prisms between our eyes - bending light | Love is a mystery - a faith unknown | Prisms between our lives - converge to be one. [chorus]

Dawn - return from the black | I'm losing control again | Losing my soul again | From the black - from nothing to nothing | I wait for the cold again on my own. Crawl | Erased by the chemicals | Haunted like a ghost now mechanical | Racing from the shadow again | It's pulling me in | Rejecting the cynical | Face oblivion so alone | Lost in apathy rains. Crawl into the fire | Am I just wasting breath on life | Crawling in the night | In a chemical web | I'm losing again | In this heart | Pain becomes the void | Void becomes the pain | Lost in apathy rains. Lifeless and mechanical, haunted by the rains | Apathy, a shadow I cannot tear away from the pain | Tearing through the isolation | Like a razor blade on a vein | Fighting not to die | Hell of my creation | Experience has not made me wise | Tearing through the isolation | To keep me alive.

As her cold breath is stealing the hours | Whisper corrosion and rust | Hunger obscuring the heart | Hunger consuming our eyes | As her cold hands are stealing the light | Shattering clay into dust | Silencing mercy with violence. They were told to believe in you | Wearing crowns made of bones and deceiving through | Storefront prophets and wake of martyrs | Tears of their daughters. In hollow veins (ring the echoes of what you gave) | December came (and brought with her the wind and rain) | Shallow refrain (like the promise that never came) | In the wake of martyrs. And the angels that fly over me | Choke on the cold as they breathe | Leaving us seasons of woe | Innocents falling like snow | Like the spires that fall from the sky | Choke on their vengeance and pride | Sorrow in waves | Scattered like branches, scattered like graves. [chorus] In the dissonance of our lives and our times | The figureheads are serpents | And the idols inside us have become our gods | Now the eyes of the Earth are bloodshot and worn | Seeking the path of righteousness is to seek what is Beyond. [chorus]
