Come hear, come hear ye deities of old
Come hear, come hear my fables of woe
I’ve fallen prey to heavy cycles of apostasy
And in between you offer silence to my belief
So where art thou and thy reveal?
I’ve got wounds to heal
Come hear, come hear: I prayed for changing, yet you forgot
Come hear, come hear: the sun keeps rising, yet I do not
I’ve placed my fate on idle hands and grand deceit
Guess I’ll reclaim it from all these gods, so obsolete
So where art thou and thy reveal?
I’ve got wounds to heal
All these years devout to you
After all you put us through
Met with silent negligence
Slowly losing relevance each passing day
Spurn your children running amok
Coveting my worship, greatly undeserved
Spawning forth the wrath of millions
Burning heat, I stand amidst the desert sand
You’re a mirage waiting to dawn
Come hear, come hear: the gospel of joy
Come hear, come hear: the sermon of light
It’s found within you, look in your hearts, you’ll find it there
We’re on our own, so don’t be bothered with pointless prayer
So where art thou and thy reveal?
I’ve got no more wounds to heal that I can’t heal myself
Need you I do not
I’m still yearning for a life-changing event
But maybe first it starts inside of me

Break the paradigm of slumber
Let go of the past, it’s useless
Learn from your failures, keep going
Strive for betterment and don’t quit
Light the spark inside you harness
Lit a fire within for cleansing
Hold the art of change and transformation
Shed your worn-out skin and glisten
Be the best version of yourself
With the universe you are one
You are set on a course to bliss
Transmutate, transmutate
Transmutate, transmutate
Wise and ascending, leave this world
Learn to rise above this wasteland
Push down the voices that resist
Glide through endless trials and heartbreak
Off to kingdom come within you
You’ll be rewarded with heaven
Stand as a beacon, a shepherd
Lead this baffled herd by action
Stick to your vision and prosper
Dive in, deep within into bliss
Whole, you become whole, embrace it
Transmutate, transmutate
Transmutate, transmutate
This place where no one can blossom
A pale white vacuum with no end
Forsake emptiness, let me out
Show me the right way to transcend
On to discipline and patience
Bear light both inward and outward
Fear not, the secret dwells inside
Your full potential lies within
Soar high in the sky, get closer
To the shining sun, Icarus
Freed from short-sighted vanity
Brace for life’s great plights and sorrows
The hard way is the only way
Out from the embers, a phoenix
Flies up, fearlessly, forever
Transmutate, transmutate
Transmutate, transmutate
(now) Wake up!

There’s the sun hanging over the sky
It meant to preach, but only carries a sigh
There’s a moon that returns on the sly
Leaves you helplessly out of light in your eyes
There’s a church, but there are no saints in sight
Or believers who’ll make it through the night
There’s a living that cycles and smites
Leaves you drained like a dull parasite
Hold me, lay me down
There’s a time that never comes to an end
It goes beyond what we can both comprehend
There’s a flock of souls that never ascends
Indulged in sins that no repent can amend
There’s an itch I’ve got since I don’t know when
Eats me up, but it was gentle back then
There’s a hope that keeps us howling amen
But then our days return time and time again
Hold me, lay me down
On a moonlit eve, a fiend rose from beneath
Poured malicious revelation into ears already conquered
Spoke of the ceaseless turning of the hourglass of existence
Said better days were far behind my wilting heart
All the wailing and gnashing of teeth wouldn’t offer deliverance
All the dreams of tomorrow stranded in a purgatory
How to come to terms with such undying burden
But to get lost in the dreadful brume of despair?
I’ve got no more use for whining
There’s only so much I can do
I’ve met the length of my limits
Now I can only count on you
To share the weight life holds on us
To coexist and meander
Maybe this is all we have left
Maybe this isn’t so bad at all
Hold my hand the way you hold on to life
A grip so firm, makes me feel alive
And well, I guess I’m a lucky man
And I’ll remain so as long as I can
Exult and mourn along with you all
Who ache and still put up with my faults
Who gaze with me into the unknown
I know at last that I’m not alone
And if I should fall behind
I’ll part ways with you still bearing a smile
Not out of relief, you’ll find
But because you made all my life worthwhile
And if you should leave us soon
I’ll pass on all of your legacy
I’ll sing your name on a tune
And capture you in a melody
Let it recur, let it return
If it does, I won’t come undone
I’ll thrust ahead into your arms
A sacred place that knows no harm
I’m looking forward to be back
Even if the night is pitch black
Find your worth and taste rebirth.
This is endless.
