Lyrics Hydra - Yugen Blakrok

Planted these roots under the Transkei sky
So when flowering, to shoot thru the earth when the rains subside
Command them "Grow and bear fruit to feed the hungry and wise"
Divine sustenance - universal nature's benign
But when the light behind the eyes fails to focus
And threats of rebel armies on your horizon just swarming like locusts
My thoughts run with the speed of Hermes
Manifest these verses before the world of the mystic submerges
We've been waiting for the one to intervene
Since the ancients tamed the dragons of the serpentine regime
Blasting photon shot stills as ageing memories fade away
Exploring life and its uncharted terrains
Re-remembering how form falls apart under strain
My orbit's finally homebound after wandering astray
Sleeping minds are like a vacuum that pulls in and lets nothing out
We're vulnerable to riots and shouts
Attack worlds like Vadar, anger drawn quick like sabers
Beget wounds that run deeper than burial chambers
Yugen drowns souls like water dreams
Until I wake up, this is the other world I'm sleeping in

When you're rising from the ground, salute the gods' headquarters
Silver linings shining right above the black clouds
Seek perfection in perceptions with thoughts that cleanse the mind
Information all exists within the now
When you're rising from the ground, salute the gods' headquarters
Silver linings shining right above the black clouds
Seek perfection in perceptions with thoughts that cleanse the mind
Information all exists within the now
When I emerge, it's only for a breath
Before sinking back like blue
Whales, exploding chakras top of the head
With variety in ideals that
Underpin the method in the way that I think
Enforce the force from within
To recognize that you're not obliged
To always to take the stormy approach
Gotta teach your eyes to see through the hoax
Rising waves crash to become again, rising waves
Endless cycles of regeneration and decay
After sunshine, comes the rain – some laugh, looking for pain
And sabotage their thought trains, crashing, burning in vain
But when the artist in nature puts the rhythm in the poetry
Build character, pass traditions orally to progeny
So the dominant gene can survive thru the ages
Stand the test of time like sacred knowledge from the ancients

Now I walk these legendary paths armed with poetic bars
Beyond deserted minds where even knowledge is scarce
And chant mantras, even in sleep I stay hypnotized
I am but a dream inside the infinite mind
So should absolute truth find the realm of possibility?
Might find we're perfect clones coming out a glass factory
Since stones break bones and all that
Words that build stay outta reach like home to expats
I'm of minotaurs and mazes, spot glitches in the matrix
Impermanent to ensure the eternal fire blazes
As emotions go back and forth like tides on the shore
I swivel like roundabouts with legs under thoughts
Just writing letters to the wind in calligraphed characters
That splatter patterns parallel to how the earth spins
Stationed between becoming and being
While all-seeing eyes watch our stars rise at a meteoric speed
When you're rising from the ground, salute the gods' headquarters
Silver linings shining right above the black clouds
Seek perfection in perceptions with thoughts that cleanse the mind
Information all exists within the now
When you're rising from the ground, salute the gods' headquarters
Silver linings shining right above the black clouds
Seek perfection in perceptions with thoughts that cleanse the mind
Information all exists within the now
