Thema Mundi

The sky and the earth are connected
Wisdom from above
A sign in the sky is an omen
Meant for the earth
Oh
Falling further
Sinking deeper
Falling further
Into the ether
The stars in their place
To rule over fates
Though we obey
We fall just the same
The road rises to meet you
A moment before we are returned
Return

Capricorn

Came of lowly birth into a world with nothing at all
A life of crawling 'round in the dirt but destined for more
Warrior you'll prevail by the path you travel alone
So take another turn of the wheel, there's nothing to lose
Called forth
On that lonely road
March on
Further into the unknown
Journey through the desert at the edge of all that is known
Walk into the shadow of death and take your reward
Called forth
On that lonely road
March on
Further into the unknown
Held by divine birthright
Bathe in golden light
When the stars align
A bridge will rise
Lights will show the way
In the pale moonlight
Bow down
Comes a king who wears no crown
How now
See the fool lay his life down
Lord knows I tried
But trying is not enough
Somewhere I died
No, no, no
Oh well

Novus Homo

Come up into present time
Reborn in a racing mind
For all my many lives before
This one helped me to find myself
When my soul was tired
And I felt like dying
I found a host to hide in
'Coz you are older than you know
Now I understand my lesson
Things will be so different this time
When my soul was tired
And I felt like dying
I found a host to hide in
'Coz I am older than you know
And I can show you how to learn
To be alone
Already the world's become terrifying
So how can I wait while it falls to ruin, no
What would it take to save from dying
Knowing how to know wont come for nothing, no
When your soul is tired
And you feel like dying
Find a host to hide in
We are older than we know
And I can show you how to learn
I can show you this whole world
I can show you the universe
Oh

Heaven and Earth
05:19

Came from the heavens
Falling fast to oblivion
Fear falls away
Hastens the day
The pieces burn away
Lessens the pain
Spiral further in time
Human move to your final form
No, no, no
You wont feel anymore
Have a good journey home
Mercy for all the helpless ones
I know the mind is a prison
Pay the toll for your mortal soul
I've found a gate to heaven
Feeble calls as the gurney rolls
We know that hell is no different
Take your bow as the curtain falls
All our sins are forgiven
Fly me back to the sun
I ought to know by now
Untethered from everyone
I ought to know by now
I found my way too soon
To heaven's gate
Too soon

Mirrorpool

Το νερό
Θα σε καθαρίσει
Ψυχή μου
O' emptiness
A pale reflection
Water into Earth makes mud
Makes murder
O' emptiness
The skies themselves fall down
Silence from above
Curse the stars and beg for freedom
Dive into the mirror pool

Sword of Spirit
04:55
|
|||
|
In the darkest reach
Where nothing grows
Where the spirits keep you safe below
When you stir from sleep
Slumbering in your throne
Ruler of a kingdom of ash and bone
Wish on a star and watch it fall
Those elder gods have been dead so long
In a fevered dream
Heard murmured words
To receive the wisdom of the holy ghost
Take the sword of spirit and strike them down
Ring the bell, awaken
Return his crown
Wish on a star and watch it fall
Those elder gods have been dead so long
Have I always been cruel
Did I lie
Who on earth would care at all if I live or die

Cancer (Rising)
04:26
|
|||
|
Still waters
Pale moon
Tidal overture
Of planetary rule
Cancer, rise anew
Oh!
Keeper of memory
Surrender, turn your new key
Erasing your own history
Descending back through the gate
Oh no
Fuck
If fortune wears her frown
Neither the brave or the fool are remembered for long
If wisdom could fit in the palm of your hand
Divining the future while babylon burn
Why pray for peace when the damage is done
War in the east while the west sleeps safe and sound
If time is a circle then it's just begun
The future, the present, the past are now as one
Bathe in the tide
Let it wash over you

Fall to Earth
04:17
|
|||
|
Centuries gazing at the stars
Waiting for a sign from above
We know many souls have withered in the dark
In the name of the onward march
Empire burning
The wheel is turning
We know we are doomed to live alone
So come down now
Don't look down from above
So come down now
We all must fall to earth
Everything that is and ever was
Staged upon the pale blue dot
We are wandering forever in the dark
'Til our world is coming apart
History is written
Thousands forgotten
We know we are doomed to the unknown
Breathe slow
Come home
When we falter we are shown a glimpse of the divine
We have stardust in our bones
We are fallen ones
We live but we are doomed to die alone

The Law
03:58
|
|||
|
Lord, I've been a fool
Now I see it
Clear as day revealed
How much I wasted
I know what I know
But now I see it was all for nothing
A quarter to midnight
Now it's coming
Don't call it defeat
I'll drop this body
I know what I know
But I found peace knowing where I'm going
I know what I know
But I found release in my own unknowing
Time will heal all your wounds
And time will dispel all of your illusions
Here for but a moment before we return to the stars
Every man and woman is a star who knows we return to nothing
This is the law of the universe
