This isn’t what I foresaw,
but it’s what I’ve received.
What else can I do but continue to breath?
Self-doubt reemerges as a self imposed disease.
Bludgeoning my fibers, and stifling productivity.
Dematerialisation engulfs my nature to achieve,
As habit dissipates I succumb to lethargy,
The future is in question, when combating complacency,
I turn to my only staple: The will to power my creativity.
I’ll find a way to regain,
My insatiable proficiency.
As wounds heal, so does the pain.
And the learning cycle commences again.

Multiverse | Conquering Mourning

I never thought I could be this confused.
My mind wants one thing, my heart another.
Which one will I choose?
Incertitude is a plague,
I can’t ingest it’s taste.
I discard all of my desire,
And live my days one at a time.
Don’t vacilate is my advice to you.
Be disciplined and pursue the truth.
Incertitude is a plague,
I can’t ingest it’s taste.
Mystifying, broken world,
You’ve shown me cause,
and given a reason…
For this pain and suffering:
Incertitude is a plague.

Multiverse | Incertitude

I can’t seem to escape the perfidious lies.
That radiate from the imitators of renaissance minds.
Forward we march, towards the execution…
The capricious overwhelm the egalitarian.
As the future is suffocated by an archaic system.
Forward we march, towards the execution…
Of our idealistic dreams, in this oblivion of the obscene.

Multiverse | Oblivion of the Obscene

Systems shouldn’t exploit they should elate.
Polity shouldn’t command it should serve.
Calumny against the people should disintegrate.
Political discourse should enter all our thoughts.
Though the road may be long and hard,
We will maintain our course.
(Resistencia…)
An evaluation of our hearts,
To achieve true emancipation.
(Compañeros)
Big suites with deep pockets strive for segregation.
By destroying the family, school and community.
We must question the status quo; rebut falsifications.
To turn the tide we need customised education.
Though the road may be long and hard,
We will maintain our course.
(Resistencia…)
An evaluation of our hearts,
To achieve true emancipation.
(Compañeros)
Don’t accept the order,
It’s not designed for you and I.
But created for a minority,
To subjugate the will of the majority.
Though the road may be long and hard,
We will maintain our course.
(Resistencia…)
An evaluation of our hearts,
To achieve true emancipation.
(Compañeros)
Resistencia shall grow.
This night terror will end.
Our task: creating a chance,
For our progeny to advance.
Just leave us alone,
We can govern our thoughts.
We’ll take back our home,
And rebuild it for all.

Multiverse | Resistencia Companeros

Dig beneath the surface,
and you’ll find the source.
Misapprehension will dissipate,
Truth will occupy the fore.

Help me towards the light.
I’m blindly riding throughout the night.
Blinkers confine my vision.
I’m leading a life of utter ignorance.

Dig beneath the surface,
and you’ll find the source.
Misapprehension will dissipate,
Truth will occupy the fore.

I’m slowly opening my eyes.
Whilst learning to always revise.
Life isn’t static it’s transient.
That paradigm is apt for my opinion.

Dig beneath the surface,
And you’ll find the source.
Misapprehension will dissipate,
Truth will occupy the fore.

Multiverse | The Procurable Path

We crossed paths in an olive grove.
My prey was lost I couldn’t move.
Never had such beauty graced these eyes.
This omnipotent huntress was tranquilized.
Neither man nor immortal, had felt my touch.
For I was engendered to own the hunt.
You calmed my soul, bequethed new life.
Through you I learnt to love and die.
I give my praise to the sun god.
Whose trickery has caused me to fault.
I give my praise to the sun god.
Whose treachery’s left me alone.
The purest light emitted from my heart.
You wrapped yourself in my radiation.
Never had such delight stained this earth.
Mujer y hombre; inmortal y mortal.
I give my praise to the sun god.
Whose trickery has caused me to fault.
I give my praise to the sun god.
Whose treachery’s left me alone.
We were seperated, and I was confused.
Machination caused me to kill you.
I give my praise to the sun god.
Whose trickery has caused me to fault.
I give my praise to the sun god.
Whose deceit’s left me alone.
I found love, in an olive grove.
I lost it, with you.

Multiverse | Artemis' Elegy

Necromancers dilute my thoughts.
How else could I be this estranged?
I strive, I drive, I work, I slave,
Chasing my ghost into it’s grave.
To overcome this ocean…
We need an armada.
Betwixt intention and implementation,
Lay entangled webs of machination.
I prescience a cataclysm for an alarm:
To wake this world from it’s obtuse knavery.
Damn those enchanters, back to there towers!
Rationality must permeate this epoch.
No more false hope, no more fake flowers.
Nothing but organic growth can succeed.
Together we can to combat this epidemic—
The promotion of lethargy is an endemic!
All defenders of this despotism,
Will dissipate with proletarian liberation!
To overcome this ocean…
We need an armada.
To overcome this ocean, we need an armada…
Constructed of our cognition!

Multiverse | Armada Of Cognition

And she walks out of the day with agony and broken heart,
Not even a debris of joy could help to console her,
Devastation overwhelms at the altitude, insurrection in the air,
Regardless of what she loved and cared

Everlasting feel of lost, fall apart, contempt,
Autumn never comes, doubt the sun, doth it shine?
          ...doubt the sun will smile

Will she waltz back into her dreams and hope for Neverland,
Oval mirror tells no lies, no disguise,
Night were filled with awe, with all the tunes, angels blessed and danced,
Glimpse of amber, red and grand

Everlasting feel of lost, fall apart, contempt,
Autumn never comes, doubt the sun, doth it shine?

Revive the chance to harvest truth before it dies,
Let it stay, let it last

~ ~ ~ Musical break ~ ~ ~

Stars in sky, birds of the night,
It's heavenly, yeah
Colours of life, the peace deep inside,
Alleviating...

She'll never be shaken, or should she be trembling in fear,
'Coz there's a beaming light, far at the tunnel's end

Fly, spread your wing and fly high
Have a stand to defy,
Live, breathe, survive,
Be the one that has to realise

Try, spread your wings and fly,
Stretch your hands and touch the sky,
Believe what you see in your eyes,
And she learned hope is a waking dream
 
~ ~ ~ Musical break ~ ~ ~

And she waltz back into her dreams and saw her Neverland
Oval mirror tells no lies no disguise
Then the clock strikes twelve, with all the tunes, angels blessed and danced,
Euphoriants' time to kiss and tell

Thoughts to a greater sail
Her love enchanting tale

Her love enchanting tale

VEGA | Reaching the Outer Me

“Where got?” he thought, 
“This is plain daylight robbery,” 
“To do what?”
The purpose of a nation, 
is to place it's situation, 
in the greater scheme of nations, 
in faith or so it was written, 
on that fonted Powerpoint, 
in that decaf-ed morning lecture back on Monday,
I wasn’t paying much attention, 
as I was stealing glances, 
to look at the cute small town girl, 
Hannah, sitting two rows in front of me, 
so demure, if only I could marry her, 
but she wore a cross,
“Where got?” he thought, 
“This is getting us nowhere,” she said, 
Clutching her with his arms, 
“To be more than..?” he said, 
“To be something else?” she said, 

“Hey! Don’t go my place, baby!”

Where got?!

When I asked a question, 
I only wished to offend 'cos, 
words don’t matter much anymore to me, 
I was surprised that you felt, 
you had a say in my life, 
since you failed to ease up, 
you know don’t know me,

You don’t need to license love!

The Maharajah Commission | Where Got?!

Judging by the way that he fell   
He must’ve been soaked to the bone 
 Results came in, it sure came clean 
 Way lower than his sins 

Lord have mercy, this sucker dah kena santau…   
Aww aww aww aww! 

Pray that it don’t come out in the news 
 Otherwise we’re all screwed   
One minute we’re catching up on good ol’ days   
Next thing you know, ka ni ne! 

Lord have mercy, this sucker dah kena santau… 
 Aww aww aww aww! 

C’mon now man, let go of her face 
 This ain’t the right time or place   
Hitch a ride home, never heard from again  
Nothing but dust, not a single trace 

Lord have mercy, this sucker dah kena santau… 
 Aww aww aww aww!

The Maharajah Commission | Santau (Black Magic)

A self-taught, forever-student of life's music STICKSMAN, with nothing held back. Always in search of full musical flavour, solid-strokes, trippy trinkets and heart-thumping bass grooves. Deeply influenced and inspired by grand-masters & beat-legends like Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, Mike Mangini, Simon Phillips, John Ashley Thomas, Carter Beaufort, and the list goes on. Faithful, disciplined and generous behind the drums, nonetheless reserved, analytical and friendly beyond the drumming vault.

I'm Ammar Khairi and it's my greatest pleasure to have you here. Check out my songs, released from 2011 till now. At this point, me & my bandmates are still looking for a pianist // keyboardist who possess GREAT attitude and perseverance, other than having extraordinary creativity and speed. Plenty of new originals songs will be uploaded soon. In the mean time, me & ARCH Projekt are having fun in the studio covering songs from Dream Theater's ADToE, few LTEs and lots of improvisational jams.
