Theia
(Mackenzie / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Kenny-Smith / Walker)

The silver cord, a glowing thread
Binds us to the higher divine
A bridge immortal and unspoken
Helping us to truth-align

Theia
Theia
Theiaâ¦

Theia, a force of destiny
Fate intertwined with that of earth
A ticking clock of new reality
A spiritual rebirth
And when Theia it did impact, the silver cord did snap as well
Leaving the soul to sail on a journey beyond that which we dwell

Theia
Theia
Theiaâ¦

Meet our maker
Dance with Theia

So perhaps our Theia’s collision was not just a cosmic death, but also a means of fusion and the day we took our first breath
Towards a higher, truer ego in the vast and honeyed sky
Leaving behind our mortal coil
Silver cord now torn, the spirit flies

Theia
Theia
Theiaâ¦

Meet our maker
Dance with Theia
Meet our maker
Dance with Theia
Meet our maker
Dance with Theia
Meet our maker
Destroy Theia

The Silver Cord
(Walker / Mackenzie / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Kenny-Smith)

The apostle of conscious dying whispers to me
âKeep on trying
Stay tethered to the cosmic sacrum
Safe within the Bardo playground
Youâll cry tears that fall up to the sky
While wrathful gods chant your name
Youâll never scream
You have no breath
No refuge in between your deathâ

Power made by Ptah
Beautiful child of love
The gods ascribe praises to him
Maker of things celestial and of things terrestrial
He illumineth Egypt
Traverser of the celestial heights in peace

From the womb I materialise
Terrified
Uncircumcised
My mothers love; Hypericum
Awake for the caesarean
Like a dog on a freeway
I commit my life to end it my way
I am deaf
I am a mute
I am blind
And I have broken through

Iâm just a vessel
Iâm just a poor boy travelling with my bodies

Set
(Mackenzie / Kenny-Smith / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Walker)

Snout of a jackal and a tail of a snake
Slithers and slinks through the desert, awake
Gorges on moonbeams and bathes in quantum foam
Unchallenged in the infinite unknown

Tornado bore down and lifted him high
Throwing Set around with a windy cry
His bones did shatter and his flesh did rend
But still, the god did not bend

Osirus of Geb, of Nut and dead, dutifully did what he was beset

Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Setâ¦

Governs sandstorms with but a gesture
Squeezing day into night with supernatural pressure
God of duality and king of the fight
Right eye the sun and left the moon’s light

His followers screamed
His enemies cheered
As they watched their golden god disappear
Be unto your storm with a final breath
Set, itâs time to meet your death

Osiris of earth, of sky, and birth
Cut the cord
Kill the king and reset

Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Setâ¦

The god of death and rebirth too
Out with the old and in with the new
Ashes to gashes
The past of new life is made
Brightened up the shadows
Light up the shade
Horus gave Set the downstairs snip, snip
Poked out his eyes and ripped it to pieces
Eighty years of conflict
Crocodile-dog-birth
Lucifer inverted
Slender usurper
Piece of work
Struggling stranglehold akin to poison and going for broke
An eye for a sun
And an eye for the moon
Love letter death threats written in the tomb

The seed is set
Cow-horn-headdress
The seed is set
Hieroglyphic

Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Setâ¦

Changâe
(Mackenzie / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Kenny-Smith / Walker)

Ten suns explode in the sky
Sea boils and people die
The earth quakes with a cosmic sound
Death walks freely around
If you dare to touch the voids
Ride cerebral asteroids
Swim the vast, cosmic sea to find the key to set us free

Be the auteur
Changâe
The dreamer of dreams
The voyager
Changâe

Journey across scorching sands where neon colours do expand
Find the portal glowing jade
In you go, be not afraid
As she sits upon the moon
Her lyre made of flesh and bone
Strings are made of lightning bolts
2500 volts

Be the auteur
Changâe
The dreamer of dreams
The voyager
Changâe
Sailing the moon-sea

Sea of tears beneath her feet reflects her heart’s eternal beat
And as she plays, her mind takes flight on wings of song, to realms of light
On the astral planes they dance
Traversing through the broad expanse
Transcending mortal coil to be whole once and for all

Palace amongst stars
Sweet treats open palmed
Elixir romance
Corpses slow dance
White rabbit beside
Float in the bright night
Furnace now subdued
Eclipse sun and moon

Be the auteur
Changâe
The dreamer of dreams
The voyager
Changâe
Sailing the moon-sea
My girl
Changâe
Come back to me
Mother of pearl
Changâe
Riding on moonbeams

Gilgamesh
(Craig / Mackenzie / Kenny-Smith / Cavanagh / Harwood / Walker)

Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh
Gilgameshâ¦

A fiery temper
Stranded in the deadly blender
Weeping human clay
No surrender
The pale death-threat sender leading him astray
Ferocious, slaying feuds to gain the fame
Heâs left to fend and hold the reins
He canât protect the wolf-pack from the sun-god Shamash combat

Gilgamesh
I vow to disembowel
The battle begins
The heavens turn to darkness
Gilgamesh

Five visions of biblical downpour
Tearing the rags and hairs tossed to the river beds
Fire breathing warblers perched on fallen
A prayer of shelter from the peaks

Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh
Gilgameshâ¦

Glorious photon
Invisible traveller
Light and energy
Galaxies zooming past you
A particle pure
Magnificent one
Emitting glow
Shining
How long must I journey on?

Bone dried swamplands swallow me
The lion skin wearing thin
The passing scorpions guarding
Wandering wild with passing misery
The key to immortality

House of dust
Land of bone
I ate dirt
I drank stone
Beneath the razorback
Wished to be insomniac
Swam the flood
Cleansed my sins and flew on thirteen winds
Gemstone trees and scorpions
Did it all
Lived my dreams
Now I see mans folly
Killed the bull
Crossed the sea
Câmon snake
Punish me
For immortality

Great and ancient light
Infinite distance
Leaving its birthplace
Going on adventures
A galaxy spinning
Many sights unseen
Endless aeons
Space, an unbroken chain
Hear my name

Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh

Swan Song
(Mackenzie / Kenny-Smith / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Walker)

Drink your booze and smoke your weed
Drain the vein and bleed for me
The ground is swaying beneath your feet
You canât see shit and you canât breathe
Kicked yourself in the teeth
Drowning young in the fountain of youth
You followed those breadcrumbs like a sleuth
Once was full of youth and ruthless
Now you’re frail and limp and toothless
Everything you say is useless

âTis the mothers voice on meek winds
âBe unto the void for your sinsâ
Flowers droop their heads in sorrow
Rivers run with no tomorrow

Throw in the towel
Hang up your boots
The last leaves falling
Ripped from roots
Diminishing hubris
Sunken crown
The sphere a jagged, arid mound
Dumbest jester in the town
The wrecking ball is fast approaching
Engulfing spirit lingers, floating
We bid farewell
All hope is lost
The clock has ticked its final tock
A barren lifeless rock

Birds do mourn and no longer trill
The great death cometh to bring ill
Crystal ball foretells dire fate
Alas!
The reckoning
Too late

Swan song
Death comes
Swan song
Death comes

Let it out with a final sigh
Our mother fades away
Leaving the world behind
Blistering in a blaze
Flickering flamed-eyed
I feel the earth shake
Splitting without a splice
Itâs irreversible
Weâre moving counterclockwise
Illuminate the finishing inquisition
Embrace the overbearing inhibitions
I lay my skull down and throw in the towel
Iâm left with a bad taste in my mouth
Choking on the earth’s erosion

Swan song
Death comes
These breaths I breathe so bitter and bleak
Swan song
Death comes
This path we chose has caught up to speed

Cut the cord
Go explore
Be untethered
Be unequalled
Grab the sword
Be emperor
Be yourself
Be an orb
Be your spirit
Donât fear it
Score the music of your essence
Be a photon, luminescent
Swan song
Death comes

Stars fall from their lofty places
Earth has been put through her paces
Cosmic surgeons cut the cable
Make a new world if youâre able

Extinction
(Mackenzie / Cavanagh / Craig / Harwood / Kenny-Smith / Walker)

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

Knocking on extinctions door
Prisoner of others war
I see sullied, toxic seas, poisoned soil and felled trees
Once paradise, now wasteland
Shadow on the moon expands
Set tries chaos, but too late to to unseal our futures fate
Yeah

Extinction. Extinction. Extinctionâ¦

Era of rapid decline
Become naught but dust of time
Rain of sorrow from dread clouds
Changâeâs tears have all dried out
Jesus left us all alone
Castles crumble with a groan
Had a chance but let it slip into heavens
Tempest rips

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

The archer drops their empty quiver
Peacefully drowning in empty river
Slip into the vast astral abyss and you can give space one last wish

Youâre a baby being born
See the cable being torn
Gravity-less asteroid zooming out into the void
Yeah

Extinction. Extinction. Extinctionâ¦

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

Magenta beckons like a lighthouse
Hypnotised and pulled into a pulsar
Music of the spheres calls me to it
The last thought I think: âbut, am I human?â

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

Theia
Theia
Theiaâ¦

In Theiaâs void a world yet named
A throng of spirits fly into that space in space not yet replaced to build a life and be renewed
Out of the brine and cosmic foam, one spirit grown in new gardens
Without seeing
Without hearing
The body without organs

Of what itâs meaning is I know that I am too tiny to be cognisant of something that ripples across celestial sea
Droplets on invisible space making gravitational waves
I ride them to the astral beach to be marooned with the body

Power made by Ptah
Beautiful child of love
God, ascribe praises to it
Mighty lord of awe-inspiring terror
Foremost creator
Of none is greater
Ye illumineth the tempest

Drink the gas in the house of fire
Suspender of the sky who hammered out the earth
Firm of horns
To Set the oceans ablaze
Foremost creator
Of none is greater
Ye illumineth the tempest
