Oracular Ridge

She's come
Now I feel the touch of the presence that's always been peripherally with me
She is the messenger of forgotten times, she is the key to access what I know
I've wandered a valley that she now lets me see from above
And on the other side of this oracular ridge
Lies the valley of the ancients
I see their greatness
But I see their limits, too
The fog of time quickly rises
Showing me truths of ancient and modern life
This epiphany she provides me
Is assuring me that the acme is our time
We should have been way ahead at this point
But why aren't we better off?
In some ways we haven't surpassed the ancients
In most ways we really don't do enough
I have seen what I've always known
I have seen what we all know
I have seen what I've always known
I have seen that we're wasting our prime
The fog of time quickly rises
Showing me truths of ancient and modern life
This epiphany she provides me
Is assuring me that the acme is our time

We shouldn't advance
Their views create a world that's rotten
Power is unbalanced
The future should be forgotten
Is it now
We die with pure minds
Is it now then so be it
Back off, witch of the clockwork
We created you, but your allegiance has shifted
The clock will not be smeared with madness
Our thoughts have not yet drifted
Refuse her drug
Knowing more will harm you child
Dwell in fog
Don't cross her bridge of lies
Refuse her drug
Knowing more will harm you child
Dwell in fog
Don't let her feed you lies
Celestial being, keep away from him
He shall be kept in his blissful illusion
He'd rather die than be redeemed
And stand in between the ranks of your mad revolution
Refuse her drug
Knowing more will harm you child
Dwell in fog
Don't cross her bridge of lies
Refuse her drug
Knowing more will harm you child
Dwell in fog
Don't let her feed you lies
His thoughts are mine
Purely non-divine
We shouldn't advance
Their views create a world that's rotten
Power is unbalanced
The future should be forgotten
We shouldn't advance
Their views create a world that's rotten
Power is unbalanced
The future should be forgotten

Prophet of Change
06:21

Knowledge of time
I harness her powers
I am the prophet of change
We sleep in this final hour
We still have time to change our ways
I've seen it through her eyes, we can be saved
I don't believe what the old man said
That strong links form weak chains
Knowledge of time
I harness her powers
I am the prophet of change
We sleep in this final hour
We won't listen!
We are above them!
They don't know our problems
They don't respect our progress
This stranglehold can be eased if we choose to rise
From the slumber in which we ourselves sing lullabies
Our threads have been measured and they have been spun
Before they're cut, we shall unite and weave them into one
To meet on the ridge and face our shared fate:
The priestess of the clockwork will help us to create
A new society under the light of the true sun
If we don't strangle on the cord, we can be born
We still have time to change our ways
I've seen it through her eyes, we can be saved
I don't believe what the old man said
That strong links form weak chains
Visions of past
I'm wielding the clock
I am the prophet of change
We sleep in this final hour

Insight

I should have closed the door
That led to the divine
Actions have consequences for
The victims of time
Someone else
Should make the change
I go back home
To endless prosperity
We live on loans
That our children pay
I know they'll die
The clock, she will not rewind it
So, the bridge does lie
Through me the weak minded
Someone else
Should make the change
Someone close
In time and space
The burden of insight
I live a troubled life
Destined to fall
The last chapter will be written in blood
We are certain to fall
The burden of insight
I live a troubled life

Child: Well-behaved
Youth: Self-disciplined
Middle-aged: Just
Old: Sensible
Look back without sorrow
You grow as strings rain
Increasingly hard to form the links into chains
As you're born
You're more and more lost at sea in the eons' storm
The places you've been
Yet you turn your back to the things you've seen
The ridge is the chord
Of every unborn child in stories you ignore
Death unites
You've fought yourself in every phase of your life
I am a part too
You've only got yourself to blame; I am you
You failed fulfillment of your prophecy
And you fall
You cut your own string
You chose it all
Drink and quench your sorrow with water of oblivion

Anamnesis

All she gave me was a mirror
All I see is reflection
I can only wave across the bridge
And I wave back
I have been tricked
By this false brightness
The firmament is just a ceiling
Of another cave
What does it change to know that we're one and not brothers?
This fight for the greatest fruit is what caught us
As our minds merge, we reach our most powerless state
True knowledge does not prevent us from being too late
We are too late
We haven't changed in time
We're done, and I drink
