Metanoia
Schammasch Lyrics

The sands of time no longer speak in tongues of persuasion
The past no longer has a hold on me and I am free to choose my own destiny.

An ocean changed in form and sound to swallow thee
The world around me is constantly changing and I need to be able to adapt to survive.

The dust of silence procreates, but fades immediately
I find peace in being alone and in silence, but I am aware that this tranquility is temporary.

As i observe the sphinxes vanish in the winds
I witness the mysteries and complexities of life disappear before my eyes.

I know his day is nigh
I am aware that death is approaching, and I need to live my life to the fullest before it's too late.

I know the night must die
I understand that darkness and negativity must eventually give way to light and positivity.

Revealing lasting peace beyond all fragile woe
Through my struggles, I have found a sense of inner peace that will sustain me through any hardships.

I feel the void extending
I experience a sense of emptiness and detachment from the world around me.

I feel the self transcending
I am evolving and growing, leaving behind my old self and moving towards a new way of being.

Dimensions falling down beneath the open eye
I am aware that there are many different aspects and layers to the world around me, and I am trying to make sense of them all.

I look around myself and witness dreams and dreams and dreams
I see endless possibilities and opportunities for growth, both in myself and in the world around me.

I am surrounded but untouched by all things ill-conceived
I am able to identify and avoid negative influences that could hold me back.

The strangest forms appear to me in everlasting streams
I encounter new and unexpected things all the time, and I am constantly learning and growing as a result.

To renew illusion's seed that no thing will ever be relieved
I am aware that many people are trapped in illusions that they will never be able to escape from.

Void is mind itself, and mind itself is void
The mind is a powerful force, and it has the ability to shape and transform the world around it.

A presence of the absence of will
I am in control of my own actions and decisions, and I understand the importance of taking responsibility for my own life.

Is speaking from beyond the veils of lunacy
I am attuned to a higher power that is able to guide me through life.

Reminding me of what i am
I am constantly reminded of my own mortality and the fact that I am just a small part of a larger universe.

I know the i is falling
I am aware that my own ego and sense of self-importance can be a hindrance to my growth and development.

I know these roots are sprawling
I understand that my past experiences and history are an important part of who I am today.

For benediction comes through him who is in all
I believe in the power of a higher being, and I find comfort and guidance in my spiritual beliefs.

I feel them flowing through my veins
I am attuned to the energy and power of the universe, and I feel it coursing through my body.

I feel them slowly breaking chains
I am able to break free from negative patterns and behaviors that have held me back in the past.

And reason resignates with unexpected grace
I am able to use logic and reason to navigate through life, even when faced with unexpected challenges.

Receive the silent voice
I am open to receiving guidance and wisdom from a higher power, even when it is not immediately apparent.

The sound of transformation
I am open to change and transformation, and I understand that growth often requires discomfort and upheaval.

Flame of consciousness, flame of knowledge, flow through me
I seek to expand my mind and my understanding of the world around me, and I am open to all forms of knowledge and wisdom.

And pervade my physical body, pervade my higher spirit,
I seek to connect my physical and spiritual selves, so that I can live a balanced and fulfilling life.

Light my path and every step i take, so that i am able to guide myself,
I am able to make my own decisions and take responsibility for my own life, but I seek guidance and wisdom from a higher power to help me along the way.

To wander in brightness and with fortidue,
I strive to live my life with positivity and strength, even when faced with challenges and obstacles.

The mountains of being and the depths of reality
I seek to explore all aspects of the world around me, both the tangible and the intangible.

And give me the strength to surrender to what ever is and may be
I accept that there are many things in life that are beyond my control, but I am willing to surrender to them and trust that everything happens for a reason.

With silence
I find peace and solace in quiet reflection and contemplation.

And acceptance
I am open to accepting all aspects of myself and the world around me, even the parts that are difficult or uncomfortable.
