It's Not The End Better take a breath There's no way to escape No one will hush the noise I learn to explain the unknown reality The world we could foresee has gone I learn to explain the unknown reality The world we could foresee has gone It's not the end Better keep your head The void comes back again This fight burns up your soul Vast and motionless, the unknown reality Will test your every nerve and bone It's not the end It’s the beginning Your inner forces rise like a Phoenix Rise from the ashes like a Phoenix Rise like a Phoenix Rise

Surreal 05:01
They say open the gate Erase all dreams you have ever had They say go down the drain They say give up or you are dead It's on your mind, it's in your hands You face the giants on the wasteland Surreal Does it sound surreal? This mode can liberate This state will guide you the right way It's on your mind, it's in your hands You face the giants on the wasteland On the wasteland If you've never been there There is your strength So dare Surreal Does it sound surreal? On the wasteland There is your dream There is your strength So dare

Hail! hail! AI You understand, you decode The new world Our imperfect eye Can't recognize who we are Who we'll become

The Orb 04:58
The Orb When the lights go out I reach the orb of doubts Under the surface The gentle shivers There's something that still resonates It's just a vision echoed by your never-ending absence Or revolution breaking on through to the consciousness I want to make a step Beyond all my constraints Get outside and ahead It's just a vision echoed by your never-ending absence Or revolution breaking on through to the consciousness I feel it in the air Stillness turns to an act If I am up to connect When the lights go out I reach the orb of doubts My self, I, myself on the crossroads again My self, I, myself Got to take a chance

Hero 07:11
Now the eyes of all generations are upon you. The planet is dying, destroyed, sick of consumerism. Most people don't even notice it. We run out of time. You can break this emotional blindness. We do believe you will face the dark side. Don't fail us... There is no pill, that makes you free You'd better know your enemy Just keep the trust, then you will see You will grasp what's going on People suffer because of disrespect for nature, endless chasing, and competition. because of isolation... Just keep the trust, then you will see You will figure out what's going on Break the fears, awake You are a hero, my friend There is no better news to tell You can find the source, reclaim yourself You realize it's not a dream The river flows straight to the sea Your racing heart will break the lines to go on And read the thoughts for now unknown We do believe you can slow down, listen to your inner world and restore tenderness. The change is coming...anyway

What You Sow 07:22
What You Sow Trusting all else In this circle You gain a slowness She will guide you Try to follow the flow You can Trusting all else Look at yourself You are late but free Floating up You are halfway You got buoyed by your soft dreaming You got lifted by the feelings Break the distance Look at yourself Thrilling, dazed It is your time The strength intensifies For the first time in the daylight You will get to know The unknown The reasoning keeps you sane Keeps you safe on this way Trusting all else Mind your motion, your emotion Mind your motion, The gate is open Look back, recall The war is gone over All is said So fly away All is done In the sun Set and rise. Keep on holding on Reap what you sow
