The Law of Identity
15:07
|
|||
|
A singular existence, the one that you perceive
Embraced alone, by those who wish to please
Ignorance of conception…safest fallacy
Lost in the glare of worshiping devotees
Safe in the womb of possessed reality
There is no escaping the Law of Identity
Consequences of plagiary, the truth will not deceive
How must it feel trapped by what you can’t be?
Safe in the womb of possessed reality
There is no escaping the Law of Identity
Reciprocate perception
Interchange persistence
Delusional deception
Orthogonal existence
One of reason gave the key to enlightenment
Will you? Open the door.
Will you? Walk the path.
Can you? Chose.
At ease inside illusions, cave mentality
Faces of duplicity reveal hypocrisy
Even unified in solidarity
Arrogance will not unseat integrity
Abandoning the accord
As you sail from the shore
You choose to counter the force that rules
As you drink your last breath
Identity suffers no fools

Genomes
06:51
|

|
High on a peak in the Pyrenees
Our gazes meet. What shall we choose?
Will we kill or will we (truly) love?
Is my destiny linked to you?
A foreign face so familiar
I see myself in you
Time will say that we are different
But how can that be true?
I can see a friend even from afar
Genomes hold the trust within all that we are
There’s no place for a master race
When two travel as one
Trading solitude for sense of place
As we walk into the Sun
Given this moment in time
We can learn from history and science
Like never before
Within this future genomes guide us
To loved as they loved
all the colors of Man
Diversity makes us stronger
Through the flow of history
Merging our lives and our future
As we affirm our unity
A foreign face so familiar
I see myself in you
Time will say that we are different
How can that be true?
I can see a friend even from afar
Genomes hold the trust within all that we are

i. Soaring Crest
Mountain
Soaring crest above me
Filling me with everything
Everything I need
Forest
Falling down the mountain
Giving to me everything
Everything I need
Companion
Smiling in the sunlight
Sharing with me everything
Joy and love and peace
Mountain
Raising my eyes higher
Setting all my worries free
Leaving me to be
ii. Salvation Calling
iii. Thunderhead/Reprise
Mountain
Raising my eyes higher
Bearing up my weary feet
'Til I reach the peak
Below me
I can see forever
I will touch the stars tonight
What more do I need

Normalcy Blindness
14:44
|
|||
|
Wander from awakening to passing
and embrace doctrines that hold
the coveted golden grail of surety
Belief in blissed intervention
guiding all to worship the ones
that save the world from tragedy
with the cloak of security
Promise of strength
Zenith of faith…and hope.
The savior bounds toward the light
as the door comes into sight
Passing through to save the night
Traveling through time
borne with a vision
The chosen can see
perils all are blind to
All must be warned
and must be saved
This is your reason
But they can’t see you
and they can’t hear you
As you sigh
Trapped behind the one way mirror door of eternity
How to switch the logic of a given destiny?
Empowered to control and achieve to motivate
How to chart the future…from its certain fate?
Caught within the boundless circle loop…of solitude
Not as strong as all believe..accustomed to the elder’s cry
The gate can only open when the stars converge to certitude
Portents rain on open eyes, the distant sigh of a sun gone by
Did you think I could come through the door?
Did you hope I would fall on the sword?

Teach Us What You Love
08:35
|

|
Stranger in a new land
The lost soul wandered alone through the walls and the stairs
Mind shrouded in a fog of grey
Though faces were as alien to him as his to theirs
Love of the kindred spirits shined
smiles….through years and distance
Redemption by the masters at the innocence of Spring
While they enjoyed the wisdom of time
New faces young though yearly theirs had changed
Lore, symbol and minds aligned
Books he read had taught him well
Truth of knowledge saved the young man
Life continued on and the teachings were always remembered
No matter what the mad pursuit
All the future triumphs came from the seed of that time
Inspired to learn and love…enabled any design
Redemption by the masters at the innocence of Spring
While they enjoyed the wisdom of time
New faces young though yearly theirs had changed
Lore, symbol and minds aligned

I love this album (and found it because John Young of Lifesigns mentioned Robin in an interview)! Against the Rain is my favorite, but also love Hinterland, Bloodline ... so much! Hope you play on Cruise to the Edge 2022!

Bent Knee is the most unconventional and collectively talented band on the road today. Separately, they are monsters at their musical crafts; collectively they are more advanced than what much of the listening public can even fathom.
