sacred fires burn inside
building our archetypal style
meditating on our desire
allowing our minds to evolve and inspire
free thought unleashed and branded hard
dancing with passion though deeply scarred
we writhe in pain alone in the dark
craving solace for our bleeding hearts
finally our creative synergy flies free
we build spiritual power every time we breathe
i know there is truth in the things i see
i know this diagnosis is more than pathology
pain is a vortex allowing us to change
forging new connections in our brains
we must celebrate past tears every time it rains
we must build the solidarity that can keep us sane
amped up on speed and flying high
the angel of dopamine on overdrive
worshiping the fullness of the moon banksystyle
giving voice to sacred powers arising deep inside
we worship our gods and groove to house anthems
we dream of liberation and of the end of this system
we speak truth to power but our rulers never listen
we transfuse our veins with the best of divergent traditions
an archetype is a visual paradigm
a seductive glance enhanced by rhyme
we harness our powers and slow the flow of time
living in the moment flirting with a life of crime
we evolve and thrive consummating our dreams
inspired by hyper-modern hieroglyphics flying free.
revolutionary aspirations meld with ecstasy
we become the rulers we want to see
