0:00 The Great Beyond
10:00 The Great Below
20:00 Meditation On Death
30:00 Meditation On Life
0:00 The Great Beyond
Since man awoke, how he has longed
Longed to savour the true taste of life,
Driven by a common bond:
Clambering for the reason why.
We yearn for that place to belong,
A child with hands towards the sky,
Calling into the great beyond -
Yet no solace. No reply.
10:00 The Great Below
Were I not resigned to fate
I would ascend from what we are,
Far away from mundane human aches
And make my home amongst the stars.
Such is that to which we aspire,
Some absolute, or holy thing,
To satiate the great desire:
A whole to fill the hole within.
20:00 Meditation On Death
So in feverish visions I arrive
Before the gaping jaws of Death,
My deepest dreads before my eyes
That bind me to this weakling flesh.
I free the ache to which I cling.
In attainment I understand
And shed all self, all names, all worldly things,
Thus mourn the end of all I Am.
30:00 Meditation On Life
Grasping that single thread of light,
I tumble endless, without way
Until finally rousing by your side
As we pass through the gateless gate.
We'll bask like children in the sun
And though one day we must depart,
When all of this is said and done
Our dust will live amongst the stars.
