Lyrics: 

I hear a call from deep inside
Calling me back to the source
To the space 
where
I once belonged

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

Flowing through eternity
We'vw been here before
The search will end
When we seek no more

I feel I’ve been here before
seen it in my dreams
I am passing through the veil
Caught somewhere between

I find myself 
on the other side
Who have I been
What am I now?
My past is fiction
No memories contain
Who am I now?
What have I been?

Following the clues, I find
I am in a dream
What reminds me I’m awake
When I am asleep?

Figment of the mind unfolds
real as you or me
Is this world reality,
Or a fantasy?

I find myself 
on the other side
Who have I been
What am I now?
My past is fiction
No memories contain
Who am I now?
What have I been?

History obscured by mind
The past a mystery
memory corrodes in time
The veil ceases to be

Following the clues, I find
I am in a dream
What reminds me I’m awake
When I am asleep?

I can’t turn away 
from what I’ve become
If I could turn back,
I’d follow the Sun

METANOIA

Pride is the mask we wear
to conceal the fear beneath
A false sense of self deludes 
and causes suffering

Breathe in and breathe out
The all-consuming fire
Is within and without

The flame purifies 
what is surrendered
and consumes what is 
held in time

What is held in time?
What’s not held by time?

Mystery beyond mysteries 
can’t be known
By the mind that judges 
high and low

Infinity cannot be divided
or multiplied,
it remains 
unchanged

It remains 
unchanged

And when the mask falls
In time erased,
Infinity remains

Lyrics:
It’s Going Down
The wait is over ——It’s going down now
Savor the moment—-for what—-time allows
it’s going down——it’s going down——now
it’s going down——it’s going down——now
it’s going down now———Ah

Matrix been hacked—-so check your screen feed
this that powerpack top-pick legend in the league
IPG1’s back—- low drag high-speed
explosive on impact ——-giving you what you need

Lou letting loose on the mic
hear the call ——after all here’s the proof that I’m nice
me repping me —- so you gotta feel the hype
morning day noon and night
Tear the roof down ——-sure you’re right ———-
hot is lava ——watch me flip the script —-as cold as ice
double down ——leveled up ——just to break you off a slice

Going to take you to the next level ——stay in stride
hold on ——baby—-strap in—-for the ride

It’s going down
it’s going down now
it’s going down
it’s going down now ———-let’s goooooooo——ooooo (pan)

🔛—— fire in the hole —-here’s another heater
blowing up the track—-Ear candy—but-sweeter
I do it-all —-cause I can —— hear me holler back
just another dope jam—-fam—-- I’m—down like that
Better act like you know————-the complexity
Intense —-ain’t it bro —-don’t—-even question me
bob your head to the rhythm ——— like you just——-agree
beats hitting—— like I won the state lottery
ticket (take it)anyway —you want to—-I broke the mold
Bringing heat nonstop——body heart and Soul
On top of the world—-and I’m feeling —— great
Burning up this track——- kicking ———-808’s
punching through——turned up —-like a heavyweight
With that underground bounce—spreading love not hate

The Wait—is over—
Its’s going down —(X2)
The Wait—is over—
Its’s going down —(X2)

Doing better than good—-yeah —- I’m awesome
Peace keeping—run the hood —-like my kingdom
Earbuds in my ear —-pounding on my eardrums
check the swing on the beat yo—a home run
put a smile on my face—-dope production
—tight beat 808’s——— from the underground
and that’s deeper than the levels——of a Stadium

Lyrics (by Cosmic Keanu)


We find ourselves washed up and bleeding
Upon the shore

In the chase for nothing much,
We’ve lost our way back home

While pursuing eternity
We’ve carved our names in stone

For illusions of security
We’ve worked ourselves to the bone

Everything will be revealed
when the waters become still

What was hidden beneath is seen
When all is settled and all is clean

Wings made of mind can’t fly
Try and you will fall

All that we think we know
Isn’t worth much at all

Dreams form in mind’s eye
What is shown could be a lie

Ascending one rung at a time
Don’t split your head up on the sky

I’ve tried so hard to find
a reason why we’re so blind

Hypnotized by the feed
In the mirror they deceive

Not sure what to believe,
With your face cracked in duper’s glee

Doomsday clock is ticking down,
No one hears the warning sound

Didn’t hear the sirens wail,
Playing games as we tip the scale

How have we come to this,
A slippery slope down a bottomless pit

Everything will be revealed
when the waters become still

What was hidden beneath is seen
When all is settled and all is clean,
all is settled and all is clean…

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

They live in trees
And run through the forest,
Shoot poison arrows,
ride dinosaurs!

Taller than humans,
Stronger and faster!
Oh so much wiser,
Healthy and sane!

Connecting with spirit
Is what they live for!
They love the trees,
And animals too!

They have a braid
That plugs into nature,
See through the eyes
Of all living things!

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

Humans destroy all they see
For shiny rocks!
We do not know
The value of things!

We have machines
and bombs and explosions!
We’re really good
at blowing up things!

They stand for nature
And all that’s lovely,
They stand for freedom
And what is right!

If we were them
We would be the victors,
And always win
Because we unite!

I am a human being
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man,
Meow!

Money

Here we are, lost in haze
In an endless concrete maze
Working for our enslavement
nature giving way to pavement

Turn our back on truth
Our convenience is now a prison
Sold lies of a better tomorrow
Consumed by greed, promises hollow

Money's your God now

Hungry ghosts wail and moan
Believed the lies they were shown
Mouths agape at parlor tricks
Pied pipers’ lead to the river Styx

Forgot everything that’s come before
Bathed in the manufactured glow
Consuming all of our attention
cradle to grave their sole intention

We never take the time to ask
Who profits from our pain and lack
We watch others fall through the cracks
Our morals no longer intact

Black mirrors sell a vision
Improve our fallen condition
$19.99 for the golden calf
It’s half-off, better act fast

Slip down the evolutionary ladder
Brains shrink with each misstep
Sell our souls to get our kicks
How many skeletons got rich quick

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Babylon built brick by brick
Bad decisions wall us in
Search for the escape hatch
buried beneath mounds of scratch

We’ve reached critical mass
No attention span left to ask
Why the foundation is so cracked
Tipping point has been surpassed

Life valued less than common cents
Even our bodies have been lent
Ones and zeroes decide our fate
Plastic identity, totally fake

Sign on the dotted line 
Everything goes, name your price
Puppets dangle from golden threads
Souls gone, hearts of lead

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was...

Never enough to feed the beast
Consumes all for its feast
Never stops, feeds and feeds 
Belly bloated on all that breathes

We won’t stop until we reach
The highest peak of idiocy
Almost there, not much time left
We wallow in our lack of depth

There’s still time, we could say no
To this degenerate side-show
Turn back this broken clock
The door will open if we knock

Unless...

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

DYSTOPIA (MY DYSTOPIA)

Dystopia!

You try to run, you try to flee,
But the streets are filled with mutant freaks!

Your Mylar suit has sprung a leak,
Now head crabs crawl up your feet!

Dystopia!
My Dystopia! 
My Dystopia! 
My Dystopia! 
Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

Everything sucks and it always rains.
Zombies roam the streets, looking for brains!

Giant rats crawl from sewer drains.
Look at them close they have a human face!

SUPER DUPER MISSILES (The N'il Twistas)

We don’t need
Super duper Missiles
We don’t need
firework displays

We don’t need
Super duper Missiles
Sending us back to
The stone age

I heard the news today
Bout’ projectile equipment
That no one’s ever seen before
They say there’s no choice
We just have to do it

It's called the super duper
missile oh yeah
Seventeen times faster
than even a cheetah
If you can believe it
Faster than anything before
It's so incredible
Faster than a cheetah!

But for the sake of those
born just yesterday
I say we shouldn’t play
with firework displays

Or it’ll all go away
I say it will all go away
All that Shakespeare and
beauty and nature,
smart appliances
and dumb artifice
Will be nothing
But a big ol’
Bloody pile of shite!

I SAY NAH! (Dave Bowee)

All men and women created by Go-, you know,
Come on man you know the thing

We shouldn’t fire all those super duper missiles
Instead join hands and let freedom ring

And for the sake of those born just yesterday
We can’t support the current thing

Instead let the cheetahs keep their record
As the fastest moving thing

Cause we don’t need those super duper missiles
Blowing us all to smithereens

I say nah
nah ne nah
nah ne nah

I say nah,
nah ne nah
nah ne nah

Oh I say
nah ne nah
nah ne nah

RUNNING MAN

We’ve come this far
can’t stop now
never give up
Remain strong

We’ve come this far
can’t stop now
never give up
Faith moves mountains

We can’t turn away from everything
that we once knew
Everything that ever came before
What was sure

We do and everything will fall apart
before too long
And all the dominoes come falling down
One by one

If we could only see through the lie,
Our hope won’t die
The truth will be revealed in time,
Keep the faith

Convenient illusions of security
killing slowly
The poison rises exponentially
Leaves us blind

What’s called belief Is a living energy
Communion is gained
When we are separate from this reality
there’s nothing

Our hope will never be extinguished
The flame persists
Even in our very darkest hour
It lives on

Iron & Clay

Spirit troubled from our sleep,
can’t wake from this terrible dream
Conjurers, sorcerers, soothsayer priests
conceal the truth of reality
Iron infused under skin,
blood congeals with poison
Cybernetic necrosis,
societal rot, total psychosis

Iron and clay
Source of decay
All who refuse
The beast will slay
Iron and clay
Can never be mixed
Stone will destroy
The end is fixed

The unholy mark is decreed,
don’t accept and you won’t eat
Better to starve than worship the beast
and bow down at the demon’s feet
Souls download into the cloud,
unending nightmare, no way out
In those days they’ll hope for death
They won’t find it, won’t find rest

The machine, it has no soul,
no matter what you’ve been told
Teeth of iron devouring all,
crushing earth in its jowl
Ten horns arise, evil kings of sin,
after them the reign of another begins
He speaks lies against the Most High,
the law is corrupted with his lie

[chorus] 

Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great,
drunk with the blood of the saints
Given into demonic passions,
morality gone out of fashion
Flee Babylon’s lustful ways,
piled to heaven is its plagues
In one day they all will come,
fire will burn Babylon down

[chorus]

The people will weep and moan,
"Woe, woe, Babylon has fallen"
Stone struck the statue’s feet,
strength of iron fails, destruction complete
Wearing down the saints of God,
conquering all with an iron rod,
in glory will come The Ancient of Days,
passing judgment in favor of saints
Then comes sovereignty and dominion great, 
God’s everlasting kingdom will reign

Never Alone

I pray my eyes will open to you
And my heart will understand
I cry out for your wisdom
Knowing the house of the righteous will stand

Hatred stirs up all of our strife,
Love covers our offenses
The wise learn to walk upright
The wages of the righteous is life

With you
We are not alone
Not alone
Never alone
I know

Riches mean nothing at our last breath,
righteousness rescues us
Fear of the LORD prolongs our lives,
He is a shield to those who walk by His side

A tranquil heart is life to the body,
And understanding will guard you
Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
Wait for the LORD, and He will save you.

[chorus]

Blessed is one who trusts in the LORD.
those who trust have found the fountain of life
For the Lord gives us wisdom
Just as the Lord gave us our lives

We are praised by our insight,
And all our deeds will return
The steadfast and righteous attain life,
The blameless are the LORD’s delight.

[chorus]

A joyful heart is good medicine,
Kindness flows from the fountain of wisdom
A merciful person does himself good,
Upright Integrity will guide them

Way of the LORD is a mighty stronghold,
The righteous will never be shaken
When the whirlwind passes over, 
The righteous have an everlasting foundation.

LOOK DEEPER INSIDE

I don’t want no pain today
All I can do is sit and pray
Hope these blues will go away
Forget about the things you do
And the words you say

Always been there, you know it’s true
Did the things a friend should do
Always on your side, I defended you
No matter what they said I believed in you

You’re so cold and ungrateful
Disrespect me like a fool
You think that you’re untouchable
Have you lost your heart and soul

Always been there, you know it’s true
Did the things a friend should do
Always on your side, I defended you
No matter what they said I believed in you

Look a little deeper,
Deeper inside
Share your secrets
Please don’t hide

Don’t play Dr Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde with me

Look a little deeper,
Deeper inside
Share your secrets,
Please don’t hide

Don’t play Dr Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde with me

Look a little deeper,
Look a little deeper,
I believed in you
I believed in you

Look deeper inside. (Backing vocals) Cosmic Keanu

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
