Ciamanto

Lyrics

You don't remember
Your face in the mirror.
Think you might be stuck
In this place forever.
Come down to shaketown
and wipe a clean slate.
with nowhere to turn,
It's time to meet your fate.

Crimes in your homeland, are cries in your heart.
So long ago, but they're scars on your soul.
Wicked and wasted, your memory's faded
Your gait is heavy 'cause
You carry that dead weight.

And when the lizards come to take your soul,
You realize you've no control,
Surrender all you've ever known,
It's time to hear the mother's moan.

No sense of space or time,
There's no way to tame the vine.
You feel the squeeze and the pain,
An angel whispers your name.

Anger and sadness,
Have haunted you ages
Unless you surrender
To the Wisdom of Sages.
Mother you cry for,
her light and her warmth, she says,
"Come down to zero,
and lets turn the pages."

Stuck in no man's land
With the choices you're making.
Fooling yourself with
That bullshit you're faking.
Delay the reckoning with self-medication.
This is the way they control populations.

When the elders of your tribe call your name,
You realize it's not a game.
Remembering all you've ever known,
It's time to step up to the throne.

No sense of space or time,
There's no way to tame the vine.
You feel the squeeze and the pain
An angel whispers your name.

All of your troubles,
And nightmares and worries,
Add up to nothing when you releaser the misery.
Open your heart and look up to the light.
Surrender your ego, and feel the mother's might.

When the elders of your tribe call your name,
You realize it's not a game.
Surrendering all you've ever known,
It's time to feel the mother's moan.

You've faced your biggest fears,
A new beginning is here.
Step out of the shadow of the night
Speak the truth, be the Light.
