Wherein traveling light awakens in darkness, far removed from the light of his origin, burrowed deep within the mine of the mind.
Placed in the garden of the psyche, in human form as Adaman the 1st psychonaut to name his perceptions, a premonition apprehends him.
A luminous vision of his celestial origins reflects before him, setting star-seeds in bloom.
The forbidden fruit: the flowering mind.
But the vision is too bright, blinding him. The shadows collapse in on him, his mind invaded and his garden raided.
lyrics
ADAM ON THE EVE BEORE THE FALL
my deer-heart fears
spotlit in love-light
that slumbered through fright-nights
the dreams of the not-quites
that soared to the sun's height
and supped of the center
to taste solar's high rise
intending to enter
pull aside
the cobwebs in your eyes
the psyche under-min(e)d
Merge with my biology
I'll overlook my psychology
Before your eyes
the moon and sun simultaneously rise
night and day
are easy prey for the twilight
in your eyes
the moon and sun simultaneously rise
night and day
are easy, pray for the twilight
and you rise
the sunshine
shunned the signs
The moonlight
lined the mine
the sunshine
shunned the signs
Unclear before your eyes
Night and day are easy prey for the twilight
(whispers)
a premonition serves to sharpen intuition
...apple of my eye...
They raided paradise
right before our rise
Invaded, paralyzed
they read our rights before our eyes
could detect the wrongs that they devised
in the human--nature they despised
They took us by surprise
when they raided paradise
they fed us little lies
rights before our rise
They raided paradise
right before our rise
Invaded, paralyzed
they read our rights before our eyes
could detect the wrongs that they devised
in the human--nature they despised
They took us by surprise
to have control and raise the price
to raise the stakes and fool the wise
towards paradise revised
