From Bliss to Void

A. Weary, dreary, in a place ever so eerie
A. One awakes without life's hindrance, blissful and cheery
B. Taking agaze at the surrounding mysterious realm of towering mountains and lovely bowers
B. 'Tis a place of beauty sprinkled in flowers
C. Rivers and oceans run rampant, nature here is dominant
C. Multiple suns warm this globe that flourishes in its own providence

A. Inhabitants, human and foreign, live as a complete
one
A. They hold hands laughing, like children they run
B. The one who has awoken, the newcomer, wishes to join them with high expectations
B. He is soon to find that the inhabitants are abominations, evil incarnations...
C. Harassed he is by the wicked kin he had wanted to bond to by love
C. Told he is void of worth, and that the natives here are heavens grandeur from above

A. He is striked upon the face, forced to fight 'til the death
A. In defense he kills one of these monstrosities, who now lays without emitting a single breath
B. Now an exile as he already was, he runs to find sanctuary
B. His surroundings becoming dark and twisted, he takes refuge in his minds monastery
C. All he had wanted was to achieve with the others great happiness, happiness which has been destroyed
C. One is amazed, flabbergasted, astonished, even frightened at how quickly his presumptions may go from bliss to void...


Marduke the Mighty

A. "Halt thee, wanderer of lush forests and baron lands!"
B. "Hold your place, sit, and listen to my tale!"
C. The wanderer, confused, stares at his hands
B. "It starts of with the peasant Marduke, bitter and frail..."
B. The wanderer sitting back to relax, takes off his heavy chain mail
A. "In Athens of Greece, the ancient city that still stands..."

A. Millenia ago, when Alexander conquered and Aristotle saw
B. There was Marduke, known by none, and living on dirt
C. Surviving on cloth and scraps and hunting, eating his meat raw
B. "Thou wastes my time! ", says the wanderer ready to leave, putting on his shirt
B. "Sit and hark! ", the stranger commands. "Mouth me no more, hold in what you blurt!"
A. The stranger continues, "outcasted and exiled for practice of breaking law..."

A. The hungry thief, smuggling bread from stall to stall
B. Is captured and brutally imprisoned in Athens great dungeon
C. Put in a cell with men of different ranks, murderers, vandals, burglars, and all
B. Sits alone, he chooses, keeping happiness in one piece with use of various entheogens
B. Then a convicted mad man strikes him on face, retaliates he with force of bludgeon
A. The mad man falls with gaping wound in head, Marduke receives applause

A. " 'Tis a miracle you've done Marduke, ridding us of him"
B. "No more are we tortured and tantalized by the man of madness"
C. Marduke, having killed in defense before replies, "His chances were slim"
B. The prisoners, bringing Marduke what's left of stolen wine, yearn for his gladness
B. Gladness he achieves from such luxurious drink suddenly turns to great despair and sadness
A. "The thief is not just thirsty for wine, but for mens blood in which he swims"

A. Calls out a royal guard, whose heart has sunk and whose eyes have seen
B. "There is a cold blooded murderer and scoundrel amongst us"
C. Guards rushing through the halls, racing to the bloody scene
B. Seize Marduke by the arms, their countenance showing disgust
B. He is forced into solitary confinement, his company, chains and rust
A. "Sleeping I am" he assures himself, '' 'Tis only a dream"

A. The heavy iron door is closed, darkness engulfs he
B." 'Tis not a dream..." He tells himself, "...but a living hell"
A. Marduke, depressed and sleep deprived, is brought daily, bread crumbs and rancid tea...
C. So ends the of Marduke the Mighty...

Venture Into infinity

A.Medicine men gather once again, dressed in ancient accessories and ornaments
B. Dancing almost naked in a ring of fire, entranced by their gifted visions
C. They move in ritualistic rhythm for hours, even days, neither awake nor sleep deprived
C. Before the exhibition of this eccentric gallery, entheogens are consumed as a guide
A. The shamans form a circle on designated grounds, their sacred sediment

A. Patterns become apparent, colors intensifying, euphoria engulfing their minds
B. One falls on his knees, clenching his stomach during the purge, in which he vomits violently
C. Dehydrated and weak, he lays like a dead man, then his body raises as if possessed
C. He enters a trance and begins dancing uninterrupted by external stimuli and unaware of the rest
A. His dissociated consciousness separates the body, his astral form learning, his earthly form blind

A. The venture into infinity, the journey to the end of the night
B. The doors of perception have been opened, revealing mysteries, secrets, and universal truths
C.Light years are traveled, passing the moons eclipse and the burning sun
C. The shaman, medicine man, this mystic druid, him and everything become one
A. He travels further and further until he meets a being on his spiritual flight

A. He asks for healing, enlightenment,purification of the tribe
B. The superior being, mysterious and silent,grants this request
C. Everything before the shamans eyes swirls and twists, his journey coming to an end
C. Randomized shapes and colors, no form specific, it is all a disastrous blend
A. Suddenly, objects become real, he slowly enters again his body, sensations impossible to describe

A. It has become apparent that the shaman has exited his trance
B. His consciousness still puzzling itself together whilst hearing chatter of the healed
C. One man cured of blindness, one healed of psychosis, another ridden of malaria
C. All that has happened is real, not, is it the illusions of group mass hysteria
A. After the days spent in the infinite divine, the shaman finds his mortal body dancing the same dance.
