lyrics

Never knowing when the wind will blow
When seas will rise when suns will glow
A little flash of energy breathes life
And then the seeds can be sown

And then the seeds can be sown

Blue spaces, filled with stark contrast
Contours of the mind at long last
Several times into the breach I've parted
This continuous revolving montage
In goes out and out goes in
Patience seems to be fading thin
Repeated to the ends of the earth
Grenade dropped, pulled the pin
Explosive, edges get blurred
Truth a mantra getting served
Hallow's searched no memory of kin
Dark side wanderer, here to observe
The motion of it all, in its entirety
Sobering moments in sobriety
Synapses keeping hope alive
It's not seen, no notoriety

Never knowing when the wind will blow
When seas will rise when suns will glow
A little flash of energy breathes life
And then the seeds can be sown

And then the seeds can be sown

In this world, of invasive procedures
Dark night falls, I lost features
Speaking in monotone monochrome
Washed up lost on stone covered beaches
The only memory of a blue lotus
The optimum position for focus
Central to mindscapes is a haze
Without that things become hopeless
Lost and listless, a man is forgotten
A man has no name when truth is uncommon
A tale of lost envy and shattered dreams
A man gives up, a man becomes solemn
Taking away from the frozen components
Dangerously close to witnessed omens
Knowing to find a sense of something potent
It was like it changed, and I was awoken

I was awoken
I was awoken

Never knowing when the wind will blow
When seas will rise when suns will glow
A little flash of energy breathes life
And then the seeds can be sown

And then the seeds can be sown

Omnipotent, the messages translate
Past positions of lost fate
Myth and legend coalesce
I always knew I could see straight
But was blocked by traps of my own beliefs
Voiceless always needing to speak
What I thought I was, I wasn't
The containment of dreams I seek
A shell of a man, a husk of an existence
Rain falling in sheets I had persistence
Travels became the method of motion
A man becomes hope and resistance
To the world of what was to be challenged
Found hunger when before I was famished
Found simplicity in complex dynamics
Kept alive by hope, not the same old patterns

Never knowing when the wind will blow
When seas will rise, when sun's will glow
A little flash of energy breathes life
And then the seeds can be sown

And then the seeds can be sown
