False Light - Intellectual

[Verse 1 - Deca]

In the false light of blind progress, the future looks bright

Take a second let your eyes readjust

Years fly by like days, feel the rush

We consume the Earth while the Earth consumes us

Quick, fill the void, fill the void, build, destroy

It started with the word kill the noise

I'm tryna find a cure for the darkness I've observed

Where a spark of life emerged from an archetypal urge

And harmonising birds sang the praisе of a new day

You gotta break a few еggs to make a soufflé

The few that knew the way through the maze aimed to loosen the chains

And lay the groundwork for a future age

See the soothsayer fugazi as a toupée sippin' Kool-aid made by the prison guards

See the dreamer on a fool's crusade in a strange land tryna bend back prison bars

The vision rose when the well was full, driven to excel and grow

Freed from a cell that was self-imposed

Placed a seed in a velvet rose, waited nine months

And watched a brainchild emerge from its hellish woes

I got a palace that my Muse holds down

That's fit for a king with a fool's gold crown

Nestled in the shadow of a basilisk with seven heads

Where mass confusion's on the rise like leavened bread

From this vantage

I can see a man in need

On his hands and knees

Pleading with a tyrant that he can't appease

A serpents coiled 'round the roots of our family tree

And birds of paradise are perched on the canopy

Grant us amnesty, to seed the dry Earth

And turn a wasteland into the Eden where we thrived first

All the signs say the end days are coming

Tears flood the valley peeling back the layers of this onion

[Interlude - Sample]

Midnight (yeah)

Means the destruction (yeah)

Of the social order (yeah)

The darkest hour

Separating today from

Tomorrow

[Verse 2 - Deca]

Separating light rays from the hemlock and deadly nightshade

Find your way home before the light fades

Through life's maze, like caged mice

With men that fell from grace and great heights

That ate the faithful apple at a ripe age

A sight to behold, a construct to follow blind

While vultures circle us with eyes like Dollar signs

Seek solace, find hearts that pump liquid collagen primed to scrawl away their souls on the dotted line

I need release from the chaos, the payoffs, the back-room deals, the global chessboard, the stray shots

That tear through flesh when empires face-off

And despots reduce men to biometric stage props

A smile that could heal the sickness of the world

Lights the living room like forgotten visions of a girl

Dancing in the rain, telling me the story of creation

Alpha to Omega, Genesis to Revelation

[Outro - Sample]

Something

Just opens

Something just opens

There is a kind of flash

The air around you is liquid

And you can feel the liquid

Being pulled into your lungs

And everyone in the world heard their name

Heard their name
