The lighthouse keeps our ship
Safe and sound
Let us know we reached
Solid ground
No matter where the compass points
There’s a light leading back
Our ship stays it’s course
All the way home
South of Antarctica
If that light went out
We’d lose track
Wandering time and space
Lost in the waves
Till we dropped off the Earth
Towards any light
In the end we know not
What to embrace
South of Antarctica
Even if you knew
The position of the sun
And the moon never tempted you
To compete with the waves
The clouds made sure
That we’d lose our way
In the end we know not
What we face
South of Antarctica

What is greed
But the need to succeed
What I take
Is what I need
To level the playing field
So all is below
All is below me
And for all whom
Can’t make ends meet
You can go right out
And thank me personally
What is greed
But opportunity seized
A little to gloat
And a lot to preach
But the need to increase
Not satisfied till the limit is breached
And what’s a little thing like greed
When I’m here to
Manifest my destiny

From gold to lead
And back again
With each turn
Electrons spin
Where darkness lurks
Light transcends
The shadow cast
Finally lifts
From putrid self
Grows new skin
Resonate wealth
And shimmer within
From gold to lead
And back again
Aqua regina
Tears us apart
Let’s bring back
Let’s bring back
That synaptic spark
From gold to lead
And back again

Take Me to the New World

Grabbing a frequency
Tuning to it carefully
Projecting it’s sound endlessly
Deep into space
Take me to a new world
Take me to a new world
At your fingertips
The exact coordinates
Entered one by one
Gotta let it ring on
Solo
Take me to a new world
Take me to a new world
Call and response
Over light systems
Take the sound ship
A meer ka bah ah ah
Take me to a new world
Take me to a new world
Take me to a new world
Take me to a new world

Growing up I always felt
That there was something wrong
Some sort of conspiracy
Overhead and under all
They have contingencies for everything
Not just the world around me
Stripped the magic from words
The power increases their tyranny
There is an alter where blood is spilled
And somehow an entity knows
There is a demon that lives in the world
Carried by the waves of your ancestors
And you ask if I am happy
I think to myself
Of course I’m furious
What light you expect to emit
When you’re ignoring all of this
It’s all put there to poison you
Each cell few by few

Cosmic Vengeance

Long have I lived as your psychic prisoner
Indented scars from shakes and chains
In endless bondage I have lain out prostrate
Forever waiting affirmation of my faith
I’ve reversed the motion, reset the swing
Unleashed upon you my cosmic vengeance
Hellfire and brimstone throughout the universe
Has set a direct course
Direct course for you
Now you will feel
How strong you’ve made me
Cosmic rays
Have come to my aid
Violent radiation
Headed your way
It’s coming straight for you
It’s coming for you
I’ve reversed the motion, reset the swing
Unleashed upon you my cosmic vengeance
Hellfire and brimstone throughout the universe
Has set a direct course
Direct course for you

Everything adds up
Everything weighs
Take one last look
As everyone pays
Let’s see what happens
When you take away
Subtract the personal
Deny the strange
Deformed
Irregular
Put them in chains
Take away the meaning in a day
All you left with is
Work and decay
All of your reward
All of your gain
