lyrics

Balance between two worlds.
Cure yourself with power of thought.
Purify cleansing streams of blood.
Tap into your heart's core
like lava from the Earth.
There is no past
there's only now
coming in floods.

One foot on Earth
the other is gone.
Lost in another dimension
somewhere beyond.

We spent half of our lives
decomposing into nothing.
We rot if we stop.
Half life soon combines.

Solving streams of blood water
revolves the propellor.
Cut the clouds.
See the target star.
Liquids move the machine.
Make it dirty.
Make it clean.
Flow thru me.
Remain unseen.

One foot on Earth
the other is gone.
Lost in another dimension
somewhere beyond.

We spent half of our lives
decomposing into nothing.
We rot if we stop.
My half life will soon combine.

How long will it take
to break me down?
For me to decompose
and seep into the ground?

My half life's evil
I know.
One foot in this world
and the other below.

I've been shown all the signs.
I was blind.
Now the black hole sucks me in
and I can hear it grind.
I'm swimming thru boiling blood

to find the light.
I see a tiny white dot.
It's in my sight.
(I must fight.)
