about

In Eastern religions it is believed that the universe manifests in cycles, ceaseless wheels of creation, life, and destruction. We are born and die endlessly, as does the world we live in. This cycle is known as Samsara. Buddhists believe that you can escape from manifest reality by releasing your ties to it and joining as one with a deeper, non-manifest reality. This is Nirvana. But I believe that if manifest reality originates in non-manifest reality, then we are already in Nirvana.

lyrics

Around the universe the blood wheel turns
Inside the heart godhead fires burn
Divine heat carbon is given birth
A hard rain of ash cascades down to earth
Whispers of the past coat wishing land
Child of volcanos mixed into the sand
Fertilizing blooms that thirst for power
Till the lava flows overcome the flowers
Newborn skies cry salty tears
Sirens singing hymns of a million years
Their tired voices lost in the fountain
Like a clot of dirt cast into a mountain
If in the end there's a mind to feel
It will be debating if what it sees is real
But none of this is known to the veil of skin
Universe erupts flowers bloom again

CHORUS:
Perhaps I am lost in a world of confusion
Perhaps I am a slave to a master of illusion
But I believe we're in Nirvana
And it moves through the wheel of Samsara

Around the sun worlds spiral through time
Up the endless steps our spirits climb
Then upon the summit we sink to the floor
Revel in the bliss and then rise once more
Universe dissolves in a cloud of ants
Mandibles clicking in a timeless dance
Out through the in and in through the out
Join again into the void without one doubt
That the veil of darkness abyss and death
Is the starry womb that bequeaths our breath
I've felt the black hands stroking my heart
Take a tender knife and cut me apart
Disembowel my soul so that life can feed
Spread across the world plant me like a seed
Eons dividing the earth from the sun
Sun extending hands join again as one
