Led Astray (NL) : In Ways Unforeseen
Lyrics
1. NO SECOND THOUGHTS
There are no second thoughts
Sometimes self-awareness can be a blessing
At other times it can come across as a curse
One thing it surely does is make you do is confessing
To yourself and anyone else shielding the truth
Don't be scared, or limit your space
Seek with opened eyes
Don't be afraid, or stare yourself blind
Assurance will arise
You must feel the need to be enlightened
While all the meaning seems to fade away
Trusting only your judgement when frightened
Relying on it blindly, wrong decisions are made
How far you take this
How deep can you go
Until all else is forgotten
Then what will you have to show
Life worth for righteousness
A great deal of despair
Very true to it's mission
but unwilling to bear
You must feel the need to be enlightened
While all the meaning seems to fade away
No room for indulgence
No deviation to spare
All is as it should be
The choice has been made
There are no second thoughts
The self-knowledge becomes confidence
Total awareness of destination
The revealing itself becomes evidence
That guides you off any aberration
2. IN WAYS UNFORESEEN
Souls are lost
Souls are bound
Spinning in the wheel
Higher-self is found
Bargaining a deal
Consumed by the flesh our souls rot in damnation
Bound by Lucifer's wheel of re-incarnation
Lessons are learned by suffering and intolerance
Degraded to slaves we must learn obedience
Never getting ahead of my self, never losing my head, despite the trouble I'm in
Why is my ego so distinctly present?
Why won't my knowledge take me higher?
Am I still unworthy in the eyes of the gods?
The complexity of the matter never seizes to amaze me
Perspectives are diminished by the glistening reflections
The essence of my spark is ever smaller than I Imagined
Makes me enhance my focus on visions I once abandoned
Souls are lost
Souls are bound
Spinning in the wheel
Bargaining a deal
Higher-self is found
Redemption is here
Release your mess
Personalization is less
Solving, creating, same difference is made
Releasing, or holding on to this nerve wrecking state
Increasing, (getting) stronger with each word
I never could tell which I prefer
3. THOSE THE ONES
Those the ones that abide to the rules
These mindless masses of sheep in the herd
Too stupid, too numb to understand what they've heard
The painful burden of our societies
The so-called awareness of devolution
The extent to which we'll decompose
The broken dreams ..of so many
Still chasing after the impossible
Shocked by this presence inside
No-one can speak, but in our own minds
Now we're all guilty to ourselves
If we don't know what we seek
No questions can be answered
Can you feel it nagging
That feeling you've always had?
Like maggots crawling
Revolting inside your head
Can you feel it eating a way ahead through your brain?
Elusive illusions, you've been tricked once again
Awareness has spread
I'm no longer alone
I see forces all red
And expressions first shown
Reaching out to thee
Broken free from the herd
Rejected by shepherds
But now joining the firsts
Shocked by this presence inside
No-one can speak the thoughts of the dead
Now we're all guilty to ourselves
If we don't sow what we reap
No voices can respond
No sickness can resolve within
If I could have my say
If I could have a word
Maybe if I could say the things that everyone might already have heard
Make an approach unique
Stable factor in this world
Could my humble plea be heard?
Gather round
Hear my sound
I'll break you out
Hear me shout
Come and see
What you need
It might set you free or let you be
Those are the ones who drain off of the feed
The firsts on becoming the rebirth of man
An aware generation that is doomed till the end
Clearly neglecting what needs to be done
No longer a failure and no longer alone
Now you must not abide by the rules
Seeing the ones that have been forgotten
Obedient to the ones that have obeyed the firsts
A being that wants to be forgotten
Will suffer the price of your decay
Until the end of days
And then you will pay
You will pay!
4. BE THE SEEKER
I can try to claim all I want
Without appreciating what i've found
What value can satisfy my craving?
My back is always turned to the front
Finding a way to twist things around
The finder-gatherer slowly turns to seeker
The questions on the tip of everyone's tongue
The reason the fat lady has never sung
We are not meant to take it this far
The race should basically be all we are
Be the Seeker!
Danger is lurking around the corner
Each step closer makes us warmer
But can also make us loose focus
Let the gratitude of searching evoke us
The finish line is nowhere in sight
Can't we just enjoy the rivalry for once?
The accumulation of happiness
Take the ride
At my side
Find your way to consciousness
Take the ride
Trust the guide
Be the seeker!
Always compelled in ways unforeseen
Intrigued by the knowledge included in me
Is there a reason I'm forced to be seen
Misjudgement, confusion i've been put in
Have I grown deluded by the answers i've sought?
Always passing me by, the true meaning
So aware constantly, my patience runs thin
Souls are lost
Higher-self is found
5. RE-CONNECT
Spawning in birth the touch of genius
Reaching the earth still too numb to react
But somehow yet able to see us
Lifts up it's cloak, the veil can no longer adapt
Looking back from the other side must be a horrible thing
To be able to see the matters that spread us from the divine
Growing towards creation
The gift of influence by man
Pushing it into evolution
Now we deflect and re-direct all we can
The path that leads to self-realization upon self-reflection
Brings forth more complications then thou shall comprehend
The illusive afterlife pursues us constantly
The forces of awareness lack in understanding
The everlasting continuum
Birth-giver of our alienation with time
Every single thing has a schedule
To eventually re-connect and re-align
Deflect - Re-Direct - Re-Connect
Growing towards creation
The gift of influence by man
Pushing it into evolution
So why are we keeping our heads in the sand?
Being back in original state must be a wonderful feeling
Reconciling our own differences and start the healing
6. BLOCKED
A face staring into obliteration
Torn by doubt disbelief and denial
It's expression turning numb
A difference must be made
By the coherencylevels between the filters in my mind
Slipping through the cracks are the abruptions of negative stimulances
If feel as if I'm overwhelmed by influences I didn't want to choose for
I'm locked inside my holy dispute
Can't recognise or execute
Stuck in my brain is my self-neglect
No force to feed my self-respect
Must break free
Must see again
Exploring this strange mental state
Can't focus right, can't think straight
Patterns of irrelativity
Are not being dealt with
Unconscious.. I'm stuck.. Must unblock
This must be the end of all things staring me ruthlessly in the face
The insufferable lengths you have to go through to complete your tasks
When you feel as if you are spinning out of control
You'd say I'd find a way to safety.. I know
But strangely.. The urge I feel at heart
Is to find the right angle to approach myself
And devour some essence of my inner rotting soul
That tried to eat me alive from the inside out
If I would control me, I'd still decide what my own boundaries are
Unconscious.. I'm stuck.. Must unblock
A face staring into obliteration
Torn by doubt disbelief and denial
It's expression turning numb
Must break free
Must see again
What tries to eat me alive from the inside out
Throwing me back into my shell
If I could control me, I'd decide what my own boundaries are
I'm locked inside my holy dispute
Can't recognise or execute
Stuck in my brain is my self-neglect
No force to feed my self-respect
The light has passed me by
My flame is fading quickly
My face is taking on its final and last expression
This sickness has me, set me free, let me see, unblock me
7. EARTH TONES
The one thing that is to be considered
The greatest of all gifts
In my eyes is our weakness
And certainly not the reason we exist
The mind works in mysterious ways
Although it is only partially used
It cannot even make the body work
Or derive the energy it really should
Energy we need and every day we get
From places we don't even care about
It's taken seriously for granted
And will be critically needed if were shut out
The earth is decaying and dying with you
Everything will start rotting and you will rot too
No one can escape or come up with the solution
We have been disconnected for too long
No answers can be found but what the earth offers
You can only rot for so long
Earth tones of death
Dying with you
Decaying with you
Feasting on you
Rotting with you
How can something so distinctive
Be so unrecognisable?
How can anything so common
Occur so randomly?
When the rules of physics
Cross into the spiritual world
Simple logic cannot be applied
Rules that once were omnipotent
Now are overthrown with ease
Boundaries that once seemed uncrossable
Now lay far behind me
Earth tones of death
This world I have entered now
Has become more than my redemption
I have become without weakness
And gained a vision to the other side
How can the answers I once sought
Be hidden in plain sight?
How can the question that drives me
Become so obsolete
Spiritual enlightenment
The torch carried for years to come
Physically depraving
Nature's laws I have overcome
Earth tones of death dying with you
8. MORAL PERCEPTION
It just keeps on raining insults
Much more than I can bear
I keep getting into conflicts
Is it caused by myself?
Have I changed so much
That the others can't keep up?
Or has my world been standing still?
Is there something to compare with?
Information is limited
Am I asking the wrong questions?
Loyalty I don't feel
Has the situation become that bad?
Friendship still has the same meaning.
Or has it? I still feel completely unchanged.
Listen to yourself... Really listen
You won't like
What you'll hear.
I'd rather be self occupied
Than worry about what the outside world perceives
I like to have a moral ground
But not if my surroundings ignore the facts
Has my judgement grown so much worse?
Has anger and disappointment replaced
This bitter angst I once felt?
At least I'm no longer afraid to loose
What I once held so dear.
Listen to yourself... Really listen
You won't like what you'll hear.
Projection of self-image... On other people
This is the only way to learn the truth
Moral Perception
I'd rather be self occupied
Than worry about what the outside world perceives
If I cannot live up to my own standards
How can I expect someone else to?
I cannot, therefore I must abort and reject
Destroy the chains that hold me back
And reach for the sky.
9. TIME FOR ALL TO SEE
I have come such a long way
Issues resolved and much more to gain
Confronting my inner demons
Put aside the hunger for so many reasons
Released my inhibition's
Embraced the imperfections
Seeking the guiding light even more
While knowing the direction
Accepting my fate is to find
The great conscious mind
I've believed strongly for so long
That the results have been embedded inside me
Realizing the truth is strong
And hiding away is worse than denying
An effort is being made
Aroused by a weakened state
Being shaken by entities I meet
Taking me down, landing me on my feet
Every time true contact is made, I pull back and hide again in the shade
The internal struggle, the ongoing fight must teach me to see the guiding light
Shake it off, don't be so scared
Wake up now and be prepared
The time will come for all to see
The potential that is coming to be
Shred your hate. Release everything.
Evaporate my soul, Liquefy my brain.
I'm repulsed by the sight of you.
Unless you use me for a purpose
Do not seek me again!
The truth will find my soul
Mentally challenged minds think alike
The greater more intellectuals individualize
The lesser the thought control
The greater the will to stray from the herd
Individuals grow more and more
Strengthened by numbers
The stronger the pack
On it's course to impact
Every time true contact is made, I pull back and hide again in the shade
The internal struggle, the ongoing fight must teach me to see the guiding light
Shake it off, don't be so scared
Wake up now and be prepared
The time will come for all to see
The potential coming to be
The greatness we can achieve
All you have to do to is believe
There are no second thoughts
Sometimes self-awareness can be a blessing
At other times it can come across as a curse
One thing it surely does is make you do is confessing
To yourself and anyone else shielding the truth
Don't be scared, or limit your space
Seek with opened eyes
Don't be afraid, or stare yourself blind
Assurance will arise
You must feel the need to be enlightened
While all the meaning seems to fade away
Trusting only your judgement when frightened
Relying on it blindly, wrong decisions are made
How far you take this

Until all else is forgotten
Then what will you have to show
Life worth for righteousness
A great deal of despair
Very true to it's mission
but unwilling to bear
You must feel the need to be enlightened
While all the meaning seems to fade away
No room for indulgence
No deviation to spare
All is as it should be
The choice has been made
There are no second thoughts
The self-knowledge becomes confidence
Total awareness of destination
The revealing itself becomes evidence
That guides you off any aberration
2. IN WAYS UNFORESEEN
Souls are lost
Souls are bound
Spinning in the wheel
Higher-self is found
Bargaining a deal
Consumed by the flesh our souls rot in damnation
Bound by Lucifer's wheel of re-incarnation
Lessons are learned by suffering and intolerance
Degraded to slaves we must learn obedience
Never getting ahead of my self, never losing my head, despite the trouble I'm in
