Paramaecium - I Lyrics I have life, I have time, I I have life, I have time, I I stood inside the cave by the mound of the Skull Examined that which was interred The bones in this grave were human and whole My mind held doubts but my hands were undeterred I have time, I I have life, I have time, I The bones smooth and white had lain within the earth As aeons passed overhead I brought them to the sunlight to view them with more care The years that passed, well, they were kind towards their dead I have life, I I have time, I have life, I And as I pulled the bones one by one from the torn burial cloth I wondered to myself "Did he truly rise from the dead Or could these bones that I hold in my trembling hands Be all that remains of Christ?" Paramaecium - I Lyrics [Music by A. Tompkins and I. Arkley] The night becomes the day The darkness is swept away My life became the death The pain was in my last spoken breath They always rely Too much on me They hide and think I can't see They offer up their lies I see it lurking behind their eyes I'm not to blame The door has been left wide They have been left to decide It seems the more I gave The less I got, the more that they crave They always rely Too much on me They hide and think I can't see They think it's all a game And when it's done they call out my name But I'm not to blame I held the will to live But I decided to give In ways they could decry But choose instead to watch as I die They always rely Too much on me But they don't realise They always rely So much on me That they don't realise It's not up to me Paramaecium - I Lyrics [Music by A. Tompkins and J. De Ron] I am not alive, though they say I am. Such is the grave inconsequence of man; liar that I am, I am not alive at all, not alive at all, no. I am not alive. Countless years have I spent in my quest, or so it would seem, at the will of my mentor's request for truth, for the meaning, for life. But what of this day? What of my own existence? How can I pray to that which I cannot perceive? Destiny would have that I blindly follow with no thought of my own. But when I contemplate tomorrow my heart is turning to stone. Why am I never satisfied? Why do I live with constant pain? Is life just passing time till I die and thence never to rise again? The sun is gone bringing the dark, the darkness heralds in the night. I cannot sleep, my eyes are wide, it's the longest night of my life. I've been denied, my life is gone, where is my breath, I must have died. My hour is come, my tears are dry within my eyes, life is denied. I'm cold, I'm dying, I'm cold, I am dying. In my wretchedness, I recall the words my Teacher spoke to me, "It won't suffice merely to exist my young friend. To be alive is not to live, you must have life." Destiny, my companion, who has joined me for many a day, enlightens my wandering mind thus, "The fact that it is your utmost desire to behold both truth and life, whilst you live in ongoing uncertainty and the everpresence of death, would suggest that this state which you find yourself in is not of your own demeanour; suggests that you once had contentment and life from whence you've been enticed away. Such was the Fall, that great tragedy of man. To behold both truth and life, reason alone cannot suffice. You will not find it within yourself for there lies corruption and death. And there's no use in searching outside yourself for that, I'm afraid, is just nature. Reason alone cannot suffice. You must search in the great beyond, involve the Hidden Lands in your reckoning. You must search in the great beyond, acknowledge the Ancient in His beckoning. For this you'll require faith, the substance of things unseen, for reason alone will never suffice. For there are greater things behind the sky than in the entirety of creation. There are greater things behind the sky than in all that you survey." The spirits cry, they want me now but I resist, I will not die. I need the truth, such is my quest, I will not rest until I find the light. Paramaecium - I Lyrics [Music by J. De Ron] A pool of water, crystal clear and shimmering, beneath the light of an ancient moon. The water's cold tranquillity, majestic and refined in stillness and in clime, disturbed in brief by the passage of a lone vessel; the boat in carriage of the solitary one; the cloaked youth of sad temper and sorry virtue. In time, and not before time, beneath the overhang of tired branches, the vessel gains the embankment, the youth alighting on the shore. He wraps the cloak for warmth against the asperity of the night, and upon his gloved wrist the falcon waits until the light of dawn reveals that which is unseen, of the landscape of the land. As the boat moves off unnoticed, beneath a tree he reclines to lie and I know this story well, as one should, of he that is I. Paramaecium - I Lyrics [Music by J. De Ron, J. Sherlock and A. Tompkins] Darkness in the garden The prayers of the Desired of Nations are spent As the blood drips from His flesh Treachery The traitor's kiss of love was active malignity As his hanging and disembowelment would testify He had betrayed innocent blood With torches and weapons They came to take Him away The High Priest's servant, Malchus, his ear severed From his head by the sword of Cephas Was healed instantly by the touch of Christ They took Christ to Caiaphas, He went resigned to die The death sentence wielding Such was denied Sanhedrin Pilate unyielding save to the political will Clenching a mandate in one hand Reluctance in the other The latter of small consequence With the former beholden His wife was plagued by nightmares Whilst he was haunted by The nightmare of insurrection The crowd outside was gathering "Crucify" was the refrain Of their liturgy of death Pilate claimed innocence of this man's blood Just before he sentenced Him to die in agony They abused the boundaries Of their temporal jurisdiction Unbeknownst to them establishing The eternal kingdom |
