1. Introduction
2. Tell Us How You Really Feel
3. Thoughts Without Words (Live)
Thoughts Without Words
Having awareness but no true sense of self
You find yourself enslaved in chains of earthly wealth
The unending chatter that plagues the mind
Confusion will be all that you find
Chaos reigns in an untamed mind
Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned
You must quench the yearning and false desire
Only balance will elevate you higher
You must train the body and the mind to serve
Envisioning thoughts without words
Chaos reigns in an untamed mind
Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned
Encaged in a world that fear creates
You must release yourself and liberate
I am seeking the way...
4. Destroyer Of Senses (Live)
The sweet taste of self destruction
Waves of purity wash away the memories
I keep on falling off
I keep on falling off
The agents of change will dissolve
Into the fabric of our very existence
I keep on falling off of this straight
and narrow line
The calm embrace of a sedated mind
Giver of life
Destroyer of senses
I INVOKE!
The sweet taste of self destruction
Waves of purity wash away the memories
I keep on falling off of this straight
and narrow line
The calm embrace of a sedated mind
5. The Idiot Box (Live)
The Idiot Box
Staring fowar with vacant eyes
Imagination Cannot survive
Misinformation and compromise
These televised conditioned lies
Create a system of belief
Heartless purveyors of deceit
Seems clear to me you've never known me
Doubt everything you've never shown me
Images flash by in waves
What to buy and what you'll save
All the products that you never craved
you've become another slave
All the lies that you told
I will not be bought or sold
I won't fit into your mold
I will not be bought or sold
RISE! And break away from the system
RISE! And crush the voices in your head RISE!
I want back what you stole from ME!
6. Of One Blood (Live)
Of One Blood
Abandon this search for an ultimate reality
Your words only used to conceal the true meaning
Never speaking from the heart
As you've built a wall of lies, silence falls
Awakened all that you despise
These lies, our chosen roles
force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see
Truth : unity
Bound eternally
Reincarnation of the eternal soul
This struggle forever in our blood boils
Withstanding these attacks
Lay waste to all your claims
Kept chained no longer
Finding strength in all your shames
These lies our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You wont see
Truth: unity
Bound eternally
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
These lies, our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see
Truth : unity
Bound eternally
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
7. The First Noble Truth (Live)
The First Noble Truth
As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away
Lulled into a fools paradise
Words mislead again
the agony of imaginary sins and fears
truth of suffering
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Disintegration of the ego with this mind creates
False idea of self
The cessation of continuity and becoming
True enlightenment
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)
Will not remain enslaved
This world's transparency
I see right through
I walk alone
As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)
Extinction of thirst
Extinction of desire
Extinction of hatred
Extinction of illusion
This is absolute.
8. Stepping Outside The Circle (Live)
Stepping Outside The Circle
Here i go again
A vicious Cycle without end
Seeking distance for security
A desperate act to remain free
A balance point cannot be found
This whole thing will come crashing down
Down! Down!
My fear will drag you down
Into this world that i create
Your love for me has sealed your fate
Down! Down!
My fear will drag you down
Can I trust in what i feel?
Praying that this time it's real
Feel the strain!
All this times been spent in vain MY SHAME!
open wounds that still remain DECAY!
As my faith is stripped away YOU'LL STRAY!
The final price i have to pay
Digger in deeper still
The hollowness I yearn to fill
The story always ends the same
The cycle soon begins again
Stepping outside the circle!
9. A Fire In Babylon (Live)
A fire In Babylon
A fire burns in Babylon a spark will soon ignite
Burning flame of Jah light a fire that will purify
Wipe away the city's lies reducing fortunes into ash
Tear apart your useless mask
Nowhere left for you to hide
Damned for your foolish pride
Chant down Babylon Chant down Babylon
Revelations time is now
Your world will crumble to the ground
Final judgement now has come this is armageddon
A eulogy for the modern man enslaved and devoured
By the strength of it's demands
A eulogy for the modern man hide your head and cower
Or be struck down where you stand
To advance in truth and rights
To advance in love and light
The path of righteousness is leading
The songs of I and I are pleading
In the grace pf Mt. Zion
With the strength og a lion
All barriers shall be broken
All heart alight and open
A fire burns in Babylon your world will burn
A fire burns in Babylon you world is burning down
10. Fleshold (Live)
Fleshold
Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why
Why you bothered to take this time
too concerned with yours I should think of mine
Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)
My pain is all inside
Until razor and arm collide
From my heart upon the floor
Take my blood but you take more
Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)
Take my life, you take more
Of my life, take some more
Just let me die
Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why
Why you bothered to take this time
too concerned with yours I should think of mine
Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)
Of my life, take some more.

16. The Power Of I And I (Music Video)
The Power Of I And I
We are given the gift of creation!
We are given
All of the light
And purity of the universe
We are the ones
Who will create
The snarling beasts of human nature
The world withing myself
ALL IS ONE!
The power of I and I
True piece of mind
Is not bestowed
Upon us by the heavens.
The evils of man
Are spawned within
The confusion of our own mind.
Hiding the purity that flows
From the root of which we rose
ALL IS ONE!
17. What Drives The Weak (Music Video)
What Drives The Weak
This time released security
Controlled dose of tranquility
Forgetfulness washes over me
Put to rest the voices of insanity
Only the sinners remain
As another night
Becomes a yesterday
Come on! Anesthetize the panic
It is what drives the weak
You're gone! Anesthetize the panic
Putting all uncertainties to sleep
Not an altered state of mind
But a safer place in an unsafe world
Within the nearness of death
Rapture in the skip of a heartbeat
18. Inspiration On Demand (Music Video)
Inspiration On Demand
Where has it all gone?
Have all of the words escaped?
Inspiration on demand
Emotions all displaced
'And I will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers that I let slip
through my fingers.
I will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers that
I let slip and fall away.'
Turn it all around
It melts into sound
(unfolding... ever growing)
Torn from my rest
Though I still fight to stay.
The images dissolve
As the day invades
A second to react
The mind too slow to act
(unfolding... ever growing)
Drown the voices of restraint
Make them choke to silence
Incinerate the ropes
And embrace the hope
(unfolding... ever growing)
Splintering the doors
Free the mind to soar
(unfolding... ever growing)
Turn it all around
It melts into sound
