The horizon of eternity Celestial amplified serenity Beyond agony internally Cries the blind visionary sacredly Beware the bringer of chaos Who discards all of his kind Of sands and of time I sacrificed all of my mind Hear the thunder of silencio Cosmic solitude, the root of all flow Live in your instincts that you should always know Be still the waters of my only soul Gliding on winds of perseverance Stagnation from increased dependence Blossomed rapidly to become the dance Wild understanding of circumstance

Visions from the plains of my past I'm a stranger in a distant land Cursed again to see the end It's only an accent in the symphony of pain But I didn't want to lose humanity to the storm in the rain Most live turning away from selfhood & Most prefer to redirect themselves away from the good & Others use you for their own worth & Few men actually stand by their word Raised as a weapon, faithfully To blind thine own eyes in hopes to lead Toward the free & You will be deceived by everyone including me But only those who are truly free will leave you be There ain't nothin' in this world that is as it seems & The only path to truth is to still the inner seas

I promise you As I have been promised Be grateful for the life You've been given & taken away Never having had to face challenges Or to be challenged Your sorrows are simple Surrounded by nothing Other than pleasures of the flesh & Grievances of luxury Have you ever walked out Into the desert, blind & alone, & Stepped away from everything You've ever known? What do you know? Sacrificed everything You've ever loved So that they could find love Why do I act as I do? I can remember why we pursued security so diligently & I saw the wrong with that mindset

I felt the cry of the caged & Became thankful for the pain The agony which opens the mind Understanding by expanding time Stand above the source of fear Anguish of the spirit cuts so clear The seeds of wordlessness have been sown & Gained pearls of awareness into the unknown What endures will always be around With what was lost comes what is found To take charge of existence that is your own & Discover the roads that will take you home & Love is what you will know In the dust that's turned to stone For love is what you know Shall all roads takes me home

about

"He put off all fear, standing above the source. His entire consciousness looked outward from a position of infinite wonder: he had been dead; he was alive." - Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert

The lyrics of this album were inspired by Frank Herbert's Dune series, and more particularly, the novels "Dune Messiah", "Children of Dune", "God Emperor of Dune" and "Heretics of Dune". My recommendation is to keep reading past the first book.

Much love,
- t
