Epica - Kingdom of Heaven: A New Age Dawns - Part V

This has been sitting in my drafts for eons. Since today happens to be a (Lyric) Friday and I had another little thing to share, I’ll put this out there too. But do check out the other thing!




Design Your Universe – Track 6

Kingdom of Heaven

A New Age Dawns” Part V




[I. Hold In Derision]


Pioneering, big breakthroughs
Proceeded by the opposition.
Hold in derision all that’s new,
Afraid to lose their own esteem.


Scorn shall be directed at the genius,
Represses subtle theories of the light
To the questions of life.


Quantum physics lead us to
Answers to the great taboos.
We create the world around us
God is every living soul.


Science, spirituality
Will have to meet along the way and
We need new drifts, another view
Expand our grip on the cryptic soul.


Scorn shall be directed at the genius,
Represses subtle theories of the light
To the questions of life.


Quantum physics lead us to
Answers to the great taboos.
We create the world around us.
God is every living soul.


Hope is more than a postponed disappointment.


Non intellegens nil explicas.
Videre nolens nil capies.
Non intellegens nil explicas.
Incognita non vides.
[Lacking understanding, you explain nothing.
Unwilling to see, you will grasp nothing.
Lacking understanding, you explain nothing.
You do not see the unknown.]


Open your Sahasrara


[II. Children Of The Light]


Light creates us all.
Pride will make us fall.
Life is meaningful.
Life delights us all.


Light creates us all.
Pride divides us all.
Life is meaningful.
The soul survives us all.


Misled by science.
Our wake up call.
Conditioning cannot fool us till the end.


Light creates us all.
Pride will make us fall.
Life is meaningful.
Life delights us all.


Light creates us all.
Pride divides us all.
Life is meaningful.
The soul survives us all.


[III. Bardo Thödol]


Guide us safely through the gates of death.


[IV. Paragons Of Perfection]


Nothing here will be the same,
I'll see the world through different eyes and
I was given clarity
And the wisdom I can't deny.


All that we can ever see
Until we leave this frail existence
Is just a shadow of reality.
Death is not the final instance.


It's not your time
You have to go back... back!
Now!


No, no, I don’t want to return,
Please let me stay here, don’t make me go back!


Go back, you’ve got work to do.


We’re not alone, we are all one.


Nothing here will be the same.
The smallest bit is as big as nature.
Our limited capacities
Gives us trouble to comprehend


We are linked in every way
And we’re strong as our weakest fragment.
Every word that we convey
Is an act with consequences.


[V. The Harsh Return]


Misled by science.
Our wake up call.
Conditioning cannot fool us till the end.


Light creates us all.
Pride will make us fall.
Life is meaningful.
Life delights us all.


Light creates us all.
Pride divides us all.
Life is meaningful.
The soul survives us all.


Greed will make us fall.
Light will bind us all.


Greed will make us fall.
Light will bind us all.

A Living Embodiment of Presence Speaks on the Subject of Presence


For some of us on the spiritual journey, there is the tendency to get tangled up in elaborate mental webs and miss the simple core. Leonard Jacobson's uncompromisingly direct yet gentle approach, rooted in his own living Presence, calls the listener to join him in that original paradise and promised land of the heart, in the real world of the present moment rejected by the ego in its vain efforts to create and control an ersatz personal tao in time and space. Enjoy!
