1. BALL OF MOLTEN LEAD

Death on the horizon
Consciousness asleep
The soul is unprepared
Fear runs deep
Always agonizing
On what can't be known
Heavy is the burden
When the tester rules the throne

Try to realize
Who's born and who dies
Struggling to know
The truth to this bardo

The wright of knowledge
Burden of old
It seems so simple
With eyes closed
Starting to wake up
From an ageless ruse
What once was choice
Now i can't refuse

Try to realize
Who's born and who dies
Struggling to know
The truth to this bardo

The ball of molten
The ball of molten lead
Trying to dislodge
Trying to dislodge the ball of molten lead

Feeling found and lost together
Gone too far to turn back now
King of death is overthrown
Bid this world a last goodbye

Void the gaze without the eyes
Shedding tears but no one cries
Inhale the space of the vessel
Bid the host a last goodbye

So sick and tired of the lies
Force fed as truth in perfect disguise
Squander this life in belief of the false
I try but i can't dislodge this
Ball of doubt


2. BURNING THE ALTAR

Burning eyes brim with tears
Heavy heart clenched like a fist
Grasping hope with hands in flames
Burning ashes
Burning to the core

Wretched fools suffer fate
In worlds that they made
Sand slipping through fingers
Wisdom in decay

Burning the altar
Ashes billow across the sky
Burning the altar
Burning the altar

The ignorant rule the weak
With iron law and wrathful deeds
Eyes within eyes
All seeing
All mass delusion
Trumpets to the fall

Hollow psalms
The drums of war
Beating the stretched skin of the fallen
Redirect the vision within now
While the world ends


3. KOSMOS

Insight into the one sublime magnified
Unspoken sacred oath the universe in all life
Dawn of the rising sun burning the timeless
Living equilibrium of the kosmos

[Chorus]
Clear light-personified divine-clear light-no thing is denied expansion-pervading the void-kosmos-vast eternal sky

Atoms vibrate
The chanting begins
Hymns to the funeral pyre
Give birth to tommorow's dead
Subsonic sage drones reach to the stars
With ancient insights into the kosmos

[Chorus]

Oh mani padme hum
Oh mani padme hum
Oh mani padme hum
Each thought creation's dawn
Each breath one with the all
Hearts pulsate with the mantra
Vibrant in the kosmos

Faith of fear
Empire of old
Fear in disguise
Seething false power
The empire withers and falls
The world revealed
To be in the mind
To be in the mind

Personified divine
The dreamer sleeps no more
No thing is denied
The whole drama is witnessed
Diverse in the void
The kosmos is within
Within us within us
Within all


4. THE GREAT CESSATION

Will we ever see a time
When it's enough
When we see what we know
Isn't all
Of all that is
Creating a world
Of broken hearts
Of tired eyes
Living in this shell
Like it was forever

Close your eyes
And let it go
Breathe in the space
Before you were born

Crashing waves
Grief and pain
Is washed away
Open to
The great cessation
Waves wash away
Memories
Wane and fade
Open to
The great cessation

Will we ever see a time
Without cause
When we see what we know
Never was
It never was
Churches
Altars, shrines
Caves in the heart
Within the womb
Raising our hands
To a sky without end

Watch the river pass by
Passive on the shore
Giving temptation
Space to explore
Dense guilt and guile
Gently put to rest
Reverberate through time
Lives pass on and pass on
The witness triumphant
The death of the deathless one
