lyrics

our Atman shriveled as the reservoir
and the aqueducts crumble to the feet of our progeny
and wide walls of lush verdant trees for undeserving eyes to see
what will be passed down and what will fall?
for those who hear the clarion call
preservation in the age of deconstruction is the only heretical act

i can see you through the black smoke
paint drips off the end of your hair
you are trapped in malevolent liberation
reaching towards Lightning and the Son

aghast are the rats as you climb
offering nepenthe and semuta
as we elude chthonic ways of nature
the tiger's claws aren't as sharp now

initiate, we must initiate
it's the only way to regenerate
the only way to recreate
to rejuvenate
to perpetuate Wu Wei

philosophy will never be enough
when we're not a growth but an afterglow
retroactive life vest while the ship is capsized
no orientation in mind or soul

our Atman shriveled into Jivatman
our priests are charlatans and our soldiers are surrogates and pawns
i believe in the beauty of a new dawn
a rebirth triumphant with white light
but first there must be sacrifice and strife
in a glorious death, an eternal life
the black dog embodies our nature
something prodigal to be soared above
