This track is a collaboration with my good friend and collaborator Franz Von. I'm gonna fill out this box with more info on the song soon, but for now, please enjoy the music!
lyrics
Slip the skin,
be reborn and begin again
Shift the shape
and reform from within and then
Pull me present, to fall together,
Ascend to evolve with souls of a feather
A rush of the blood in the life-force,
Drum up the wings of a storm
A hum at the heart of the hive
of particles starting to form
Into a swarm.
Into a swarm
Chaos to Cadence,
who fathered the exodus?
Sent the messenger into the elements?
To the Zenith, then up to the heavens,
Gathered together to scatter..
I am a cell in the life-blood
Riding the winds of a storm
One with the hum of the hive of
Particles starting to form
Into a swarm
Arising serpentine,
To answer the charmer at play,
Draw me into the light of the rays.
Instinct command me,
And I will obey
(Franz Von)
Heard the hum
Sound frequency summoning
Sound the drums woke suddenly,
Stood steadily ready to follow the call
Boost of energy
Use the melody
Move the energy on,
Truth propelling it,
Telling it intelligent
till we all one,
born again benevolent,
God particle element,
Lived loved lost
and buried em
Death ferried em across,
Lost many men
women children
remember them
Rebelling for a cause
Trying to better every step
of the very steps that we take
Better step to the pace
Ever ready for whatever
destiny waits
when you're ready
better bring your best to the plate,
No regrets, progress
Ace the test
make the best of your days
Focus,
let's keep hope as they're testing our faith
no rest in this race
know this,
Move forward
justice for all
so thoughts cathartic,
Resolve it, reform quick,
All evolve
Many form as one is what the swarm is.
I am a cell in the life-blood
Riding the winds of a storm
One with the hum of the hive of
Particles starting to form
Into a swarm
In cadence I'm yours.
