about

Single #2 from upcoming album Awaken from the Mortal Dream.

lyrics

“There is one essential and eternal moment
And in that moment you are tested by the law
The demand of God to surrender yourself, to transcend your experience
But it is a great trial and how you approach will determine your destiny”

We are the seekers of knowledge and gnosis, the great crusade
At the edge of the world we have chosen the leap of faith
We fight to liberate those who are walking the winding road
In the end it leads us home whence we face the great unknown

We have, we have been searching
Searching for the higher states of divinity and euphoria
(We have been searching for higher states of divine light)

But let’s get something straight
I must reveal your fate
This journey only ends with your sacrifice or total surrender

Total surrender of the fucking world
Total surrender, sacrifice your ‘self’

“At the edge of infinity the light of God is beginning to appear
But there is no way into the light except through the fire”

Cast off the threats that cry for attention, in time you’ll see
Dreams die but never the mind of the dreamer, he lies beneath
The veil falls away like the skin of a snake

Burning up, I dive into the lake of fire
No longer can I avoid my destiny (set me free)
The archangels read my eulogy
‘Burned alive in the ecstasy’
“Your limitations are being burned up”
Such terrifying ecstasy, my legacy
“Until the last cell goes up in flames”

Reverse the spell, running into the fire
Only a madman or a fool would concede
Yet they’re known as the wisest among us
Those that were willing to give up everything

Raised up in the rapture
Now I will finally let go and merge with you

“The light is given to you in the face of your surrender
In any case it is the obliteration of the conventional self”

I pray
Oh holy guardian would you hear my name?
Reveal your secrets to me

We are the seekers of knowledge and gnosis, the great crusade
At the edge of the world we have chosen the leap of faith
We fight to liberate those who are walking the winding road
In the end it leads us home to the heart of the great unknown

“There is no light, no enlightenment, without fire
Purification, self-transcendence, that’s the law
Inevitably, the fire must have its way”
