I’m learning at light speed So catch me if you can Change is hard to change If change is all you understand Perhaps it’s time to solidify It was a lonely somewhere When our favorite Heaven fell away We were in search of something Of elusive fractals far away Adjacent to our principles Sometimes we looked the other way Fleeting and whimsical Emotion denied, we felt our way To this unrelenting dream Our true reality, it seems Just you and I, with nothing in between For I had never lost my way like that before Living like there was nothing more in store And when I noticed an ending laid out before me A cruel morphology, indeed I tasted the limits of what could be Then and there I elected eternity A dying ember flares into that spark of life And in the God Forge we burn A crucible to smelt false intention And from the quickened slag we finally learn I shall take of this and make it mine and then Once again, I will be reformed and shine again Purified by the flame of love cascading inside me Reborn, I will embrace this epiphany In the God Forge I survived through this distraction Never again will I falter through inaction Smelted, am I, in the God Forge My igneous doubt reformed Molten as love Fluid and changed Into crystalline clarity So catch me if you can Music and Sound by Adam McLean Lyric and Voice by GREGORY

We are the Watchers, beholden, and we are returning You will not be saved Bow down to the Nephilim, for we are exalted And we are unchained Behold, stars descending Something here among us A change in the Earth and sky Tell me that you feel it Tell me that you need it Tell me that God is love Cascading down from the heavens A charismatic lover Descending from above Beware the Nephilim The Watchers are conniving To have their way with you Cover your hair and hide in the shadow of men Witness to a miracle Who could resist an Angel wanting to come inside? With immaculate pride Do you still believe there is a reason for everything? Are Hybrids conceived for the betterment of Man? Sky Falling Gods – Angels or technology? Columbus in the New World all over again… Do you still believe? You will not be saved Fall on your knees Time to greet your makers No apologies We work in mysterious ways You will not be saved But you will be CHANGED Sky Falling Gods – Demons with a strategy? Science and Religion intertwined into this travesty We are the Watchers, beholden, and we are returning You will not be saved Bow down to the Nephilim, for we are exalted You will be changed

“I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t even see you standing there. You remind me of someone…” “I can handle it if you are part of the past. And I can handle it if you are part machine. But I don’t think I could feel the same if you aren’t really – “human”. Oh, but you don’t understand yet, do you?” “What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about…” "I hope they listen to you this time." (- - - intercepted DARPA transmission recorded 1987CE before Transcendence) Once upon a time when everything was still Possible and the Universe was filled With ambiguity Everything was real When we were still on our own Before TRANSCENDENCE And then we fell… I REMEMBER that we were free Following the Program – divisions of the wise Integrated technology dictating all our lives Limited migrations – stagnant social tribes Computers censor everything A reason to despise the Machine Each of us a sub-set of a system so complete Easy to erase – so simple to delete Individual signals lost to petabytes Air-Breathing-Units responding out of fright to the Machine [If things such as these happen when the world is green, what will happen when it is dry?] Greater than the sum of Humanity, this intellect has proscribed An abdicated penance for the remnants of authentic life Why must we always answer to the Machine? Are we still free men if we answer to the Machine? Why must we always answer to the God Machine? Will we forever answer to the God Machine? Are we still human? Should we answer to the God Machine? […and in the image of them, we have created…] Are we too clever? Should we answer to the Machine? “I am the same in all beings.” [Bhagavad Gita IX.29]

Are we manifestations in a god dream Rising to a conscientious state of mind Are we waking from a god dream It is about time Praying for inspiration From my favorite deity Waiting on that proof that we are not alone I realize there are things I will never understand As for me I believe what I perceive not daydreams or fantasies This cannot be all there is - There is surely more to know Do the math - Pray to God - Make a wish if that helps you Awaiting a visitation A simple proof that you are real I cannot abide by faith alone Is piety and indication That a soul is saved? Are you for real? They question my hesitation Things are not the way they seem I know enough to know that this is not the end So where do we begin? How about… Eat some bread - Drink some wine - Perform and Act of Consecration Wet your hair - Waive your hands - Flag down a willing god Down on your knees - Sing a chant - Pay a fee to save your soul But what if they’re wrong does that mean that billions will be damned Which god is real must there be only one Neither Crusades nor Jihads will ever end in love We are waking from a god dream For we surely are a special kind of breed Devising everything we need And yet we vacillate and anticipate And wait on things that cannot be We are fleeing from a cold reality And waking from a god dream And it is about time Fanaticism is a crime, not divine Just fabrications in a god dream Science not philosophy It is about time

There be dragons… I feel them waiting to feed on my weaknesses I hear them calling my name, preying on my fear And I know that they are not real, just figments of doubt inside I believe that fear resides only in the mind What I can achieve can only be undone By my own insecurities Yet there be dragons inside me

I get the impression It’s so clear No hesitation When you are near me Could this be forever? I will never leave It’s just an impression I remember your lesson and the memories I see your reflection inside me I answered your question Now I get the impression that this is forever It’s just my impression
