Rays of Darkness - 2012-02-21 In the forests sacred deep Where the scribes lay me to sleep And the memories of time gone by Burn deeper for desires nigh From the bellows of your waking eyes Scream cries belied by retinae And the rays of darkness sifting through Paint the light your shadow grew Of the sages folly or the wiseman's fool No words could hide you-your shrouded truth And so aether quivers at the touch of fire Born of the souls now long expired For games of yore, for the tears of ire For all the love that you inspire For as ever near is the death we birth Please grant me stone of sacred earth To plant the seed to wat

And since the flames of existence Do consume all they inspire Discovered it seems only In the ashes of a pyre Where together all man stand alone To mourn the passing of a future sown, Tilled, reaped, harvest 'n devoured And since the fans of time's expanse Still burn like paper in the wind Your yellows turn to black of night Nostalgic greys die white again Here is the soul left to lay sleeping To birth a seed in timeless dreaming That burns as bright while it is fleeting So then HaShem, thy mighty hand Is it not burning too? 時間の火 - 02-18-2006

Hay mas en la vida que 'sta enuestra vista Nublado por la risa De mota y bebida La neta ya perdida En calles sangriendo y ciudades escondidas Afuera de la mente de un mundo de repente Creado y ya destruido Por mi como por vos En el templo del Diablo Ya 'sta 'scrito El nombre de Dios

And it comes to be The earth has withered But no tears are wept on this day For every crevice gone unturned A penny to the wishing well A wish, a hope, to rectify That which you can't ratify Plaster the walls, the cracks A dream has shattered Dig deep, deeper into Dirt overlays, the air crawls around Gently rising, leaving you behind Black holes devour An unimaginable scene vanished Flickering pathways to tell a broken tale Hum harmonies by the river grove Lend your mind to peace While your body gets drawn in With the dawning of the new horizon To nature we appease Our greatest desires, unleashed before the promise Ripped

So many MCs frontin' like they straight off the streets But they just corporate sharecropping Ova the same old beats Now don't get me wrong Cuz with hip-hop I'm down But don't forget the those That played down the first sounds Robert Marley, Miles Davis Robert Johnson, James Brown And all those that laid the foundation Mental, Spiritual, Cultural emancipation A revolutionary nation A people united against those that dividin' They framework of lyin' While they spyin' On simple folk on the street Lockin' em up week after week Year after year Ain't it clear? They tryna rule us with fear Black and brown man they smear So we turn to the cops

Them should know That they can buy All but I and I And them should know They can disguise From all but Adonai Trapped as it we are In this enemy so deep Once sacred grounds Pillaged to the East But he who knows And overstands Shall chant them down In all these lands Them should know They cannot buy The heart of I and I Nor could they fool Nor trick the eye Of no not Adonai And by those rivers Where we always wept Spiritual exiles Into darkness we crept Shadowed in walls unjust We must tear them down And guard our minds, till We Chant Down Babylon Them should know They not so high Not over I and I No matter what

Slaughtering the Minds of Youth Feeding them distorted truths And wholesome pre-made lies Subdued our imaginations In the guise of education To mold your labour supply Your propoganda advertising On our books and walls and magazines Our identities stole and resold to us For our remaining market value Must we be made unto the likes of you As mere mindless manufactured products?

I feel a calculator Of my brain has been made In these realms Where the quantified mind Poses for the God of our time With their absolutes to assuage Our doubts at our solid state I wonder now when Did man decide then Himself to be as his creations Mechanical responses To the fixed variables Of his limitation I ponder what it is to ponder In such ages, eras, epochs and stages Strings of biochemistry Unwind me in their entropy Reduce my soul to atrophy I write on this page To express that I seem no longer to write But merely compute combinations Of letters, spaces and punctuation I think not of ideas But how I might thin

The ignorance of our ways Shines through every vessel of my sight Leaving but one image My eyes to behold this night... We are a people weak in the mind Forfeiting our wisdom And our spirits once divine We are a people lost from all time Obl'vion for future And a nuisance of past crimes Ours is a culture of the frivolous Stolen images surround To mask the fear we're meaningless Ours is a culture of mass illusion He who sees best is caught worst Inside these clouds of confusion

It has worried me of late The troubled affairs of our state The evils all around As they surely lie On both our ground And I wonder would Hashem Want us to do to all of them What has been done And will continue to So long as our people See this course through It worries me of late Is this cost not too great Can we justify the lives That are casually fleeting by I feel now that I must stand And say it's we who lost our land And He who warned us of it then Yet now we take revenge On those who would defend As any man would do Their lives and their livelihoods Did we In the blindness of our tragedy Endeavor a great traves
