The world through my eyes...

[Hell_bound]

Have you ever questioned the reality that you were taught to believe?
Have you ever seen how a tree grows from year to year, and when you cut it down did you take the time to count its rings?
Did you ever believe in something that others thought made you seem a little less then normal?
What is reality?
What does it mean to be a human?
And when does a human know when its collective self, that which is called society or humanity, is doing more harm then good?

i am water, i am rain

i am tempted here
i am the hunter, i am the prey
though you're ten thousand years
every moment remains
i am future, i am past
i am haunted, i am blessed
and i'm filtered through like sun
until the moment comes undone
i am hunter, i am prey
i am water, i am rain
some light, some rain flows through me
some light, some rain flows through me

i am tempted here
i am the hunter, i am the prey
though your ten thousand years
every moment remains

lies, the night conscious one
i am earth, i am water, i am ground
i am wanting, give me breath
it's all transparent
i am the stranger here
it's all transparent
just the same as fiction
and the truth you can't explain
though your hunger feels the same
i am wanting give me
some light, some rain flows through me
some light, some rain flows through me

i am tempted in here
i am the hunter, i am the prey
though those ten thousand years
every moment goes astray
give me breath

Earth she is the mother of us all.
Yet man betrays it all...
His dark deeds have yet to come to pass,
But when they do the whole system will collapse...

The subtleties of our environment blinds us to what the reality is.
Without questioning, one can never come to be and the truth of reality can never come within grasp.

Sit in the dark, undisturbed by your environment and contemplate upon your actions, the actions of people you know, the actions of corporations, banks and governments...
Feel their moves, and dissolve into their actions - while there expand your scope of vision to include groups of people, nations and mother earth...

The singularity that you call the self is now meaningless within such an elusive matrix of vision and thought.
But the question remains: Can you feel it?

Which part did you not get?
What exactly floats your boat?
Who do you abet?

Clinging to the status quo
Dispute state of affairs
Instead of ringing in the change
Content with splitting hairs

Better die on your feet than live on your knees
In the absence of justice there will be no peace

Spit or swallow
Pretend or commit
Lead or follow
Ideal or unfit
Spit or swallow
Palace or pit
Legionnaire or
Hypocrite

Hide behind your pious words
Lament your desperate state
Do you believe in action
Or play victim to your fate?

Spit or swallow
Deny or admit
Lead or follow
Arise or quit
Spit or swallow
Rebel or submit
Try or die trying
Swallow or spit

War is the rich man's terrorism
Terrorism is the poor man's war

What am I supposed to make
Of people like you?
What you say is not enough
It's what you do

Cowardly bewailing
Too frightened to stand tall
Play the hand you have been dealt
You've got no balls at all

Drown in your blood
Or live in your shit

The threat of chaos it will envelop you...
Envisioned from a trance, truth though not like the reality that is being shoveled to you...
Resist the temptation to feed, to gorge on hollow substance...
For there is no truth in rotting meat!

A strange desire for destruction

An awful waste of resources
All for their killing machinery

A world all made of battlefields
A world all drowned in blood
A world which will not last forever
Is all that we have got

A world all made of battlefields
A world all built for wars
And now we take the battlefields
Far out to the stars

They get better year by year
With a frightening efficiency
Killing thousands in one strike
By pushing just one button

So I have been everywhere
From the jungle to the mountain
And even in the deepest sea
I saw the signs of a past war

A world all made of battlefields
A world all drowned in blood
A world which will not last forever
Is all that we have got

A world all made of battlefields
A world all built for wars
And now we take the battlefields
Far out to the stars

Is this the fate of humanity?
The epoch we live in is slowly coming to an end (the death of capitalism)...
How will we close the door, and what lies behind the other that we open?
Remember, the end is never too far away.

The cure is the disease
And it's only growing worse

Day by day it takes its hold
Divides its cells a thousandfold
And makes your blindness seem perverse

Out of sight and out of mind
Are deadly traits when they're combined
But it's easier that way

Sit and watch the world go by
While all the problems multiply
With nothing left to do but pray

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end

These amenities are nice
But there is need for sacrifice
You must lose so you may gain

It's too easy to malign
The implements that steal our time
But it's we who are to blame

Fill your pockets while you can
And try to keep the upper hand
The voice of reason sounds so shrill

Surround yourself with all you own
Work your fingers to the bone
And happiness evades you still

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end

Too eager to appease
You've lost the forest for the trees
And it really is a shame

It is such a sorry sight
When you evaluate your life
You've only got yourself to blame

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end
