The Water

Recipient of the scroll – knowledge written on papyrus
Light reflects the mother in the color of my iris
Station been established since the eve of my conception
I complete the cycle at the time of resurrection
Circle ‘round the sun a thousand times with my trajectory
In the rains of fire flames descend upon the rectory
Calibrate the meter – my degrees will measure metric
One for every attribute the Son of God reflected
Consider the divine nature of the soul
Within it lie the mysteries of things untold
Release it from the prison – see the prism is the beacon
“Ism" is the veil that keeps the radiance from reachin’
Open up the gates and let the light of faith shine through
Receive the recompense and the intensity will blind you
Tell the wayfarer in the path of the righteous:
“Draw forth the source – in the water’s where the life is…"

The aim of my people’s to attain the shores
We follow the footsteps of those who came before
And this generation shall progress more
Press on towards the depths to explore – the water is the metaphor…

See the Son of Man reveal the universal mandate
Presence of the moon will soon illuminate the landscape
Travel through the portal – see the state is metamorphic
Conscious is awakened to the purpose of the worship
Send the suppliant into the realm of Dionysus
You and I suspect he shall identify the vices
Wholly independent of the actions of the noxious
The angle of the eyes supply the adequate synopsis
The character of man is scrutinized by the precocious
Displacement is nascent in the eyes of the hopeless
Gather up the kids who forfeited at the offset
And tell ‘em all that I suggest we consummate the project
Yo – the will is the volition
In the act of recognition we establish the position
Advanced skills – the gills aint even had a chance to breath yet
But soon will be the opportunity to get your feet wet…

The aim of my people’s to attain the shores
We follow the footsteps of those who came before
And this generation shall progress more
Just imagine – every fathom holds lore – the water is the metaphor…

We entreat Mahatma to commence the benediction
Power of the pure provide the sure jurisdiction
Pass the panacea – me, I share in the ambrosia
Soldier draw a gun – I pull a bottle out the holster
Seven seas sailed – a stowaway aboard the Argosy
Watch the bloody vessel capsize, as the artery
Loot possess the property that’s oppositely buoyant
Now the nescient is messin’ with the clairvoyant
The aureate will compromise the ethics of the obstinate
Diamond catalysts are half the hedonistic part of it
Pleasure is the sixth sense savoured by the hasty
Mind tricks the body – body thinks the mind is crazy
Maybe it’s the irony of man as the defendant
The guardian of finite – but fearful of the infinite
Some’ll hope to surface with the treasures of the world
While the sapient will find complacence in a single pearl…

The aim of my people’s to attain the shores
We follow the footsteps of those who came before
And this generation shall progress more
Just as soon as we cease to ignore – the water is the metaphor…
