Big bang shooting sparks, It’s The Bridegroom!
Flowers in the yard are the soft coo
Of the tender tender heart of The Bridegroom
In you, in you, in you!
Nothing can compare to the beauty of your love!
Nothing can compare to the beauty of your love!
Lord, my heart can no holder hide
You are my beloved and I, I am the bride.
Here comes The Bridegroom,
Don't gotta search cause He's living inside you.
In the sweet embrace of lovers, hear The Bridegroom.
In the mysteries of nature hear the soft coo
Of the tender tender heart of The Bridegroom
In you.
One with the Bridegroom concepts go boom He becomes you.
In the perfect One reality melts into one big heart loving Itself
Floating through space on the soft soft grass
This dharma gate cannot be surpassed
We are the bride, The Bridegroom waits
For a heart that’s pure to reveal His face
Kids in the park, swinging on swings
The whole universe is a song that sings (He alone exists!) (x2)
Of the tender tender heart of The Bridegroom in you.
Love beyond measure, an endless, boundless, infinite treasure.
Nothing can compare to the beauty of your love!
Nothing can compare to the beauty of this love!
Lord, my heart can no holder hide
You are my beloved and I, I am the bride

I'm havin' tea with the leader of a galaxy in Andromeda
Says that his daughter is the prom queen.
Green green eyes in the royal palace
He sips with grace from a royal chalice.
"Slavery gone 150 years ago."
He says, "Damn son y'all got a long to go!"
I said, "War is common as sticks, nuclear apocalypse,
Kids starvin' in the streets, so much food but none to eat."
"Break out the ships cause our brothers are astray
Looks like we got some trouble in the Milky Way."
Cause I seen how pain is a necessary curse
And I've been to the edge of the universe.
I went to Andromeda as a scientist
To gather information and make some lists.
I cut my hair and I went there to get some fame and make a name
But when I met the leader he gave me a verse:
"If you wanna change the world gotta change yourself first."
"Get some good sleep cause were leaving at dawn
To save this planet from self destruction."
"Yo I'm a scientist not a humanitarian
Earths a billion miles away, why you caring?"
"We're all part of the same Truth, if it happens to you
Than it happens to us to."
The farce of humanity's collective insanity
Heard by aliens from another galaxy!
"Break out the ships cause our brothers are astray
Looks like we got some trouble in the Milky Way."
Stars fly by like neurons firin'
Through the mind of a genius guy.
Aliens dance to alien beats
On the mother ships big balcony.
We're on a mission to save the earth
With the message of love and deathless birth.
No ray guns got medicine leaves
Don’t shoot us down we come in peace. (x2)
We've been around for a billion years
Seen empires rise and fall like tears
But we ain't never seen too deep a cut
That cant be healed by love, by love!

Golden flower, shines within me
Beyond time, blooming vines.
In the center of the petals
Consciousness dreaming this.
I am the Atman, I am the Atman!
Multiverse arise in the dewdrop of my mind.
Golden flower, flawless flawless
I forget I am It.
I am the Atman, I am the Atman!
Multiverse arise in the dewdrop of my mind.
I am the Atman, I am the Atman!
Constantly surprised as infinity unwinds.
Hold on, Hold on, hold on, hold on
Cause were bout to take a little trip in the ship, but there is no ship
Your equipped, fully zipped.
No we wont tell mama if you take a little sip,
No we wont tell mama if you take a little sip
Of elixer power, the Golden Flower
Turning death into life and droughts into showers
I was passing the hours when a yogi showed up in a vision,
and gently spoke:
“You’ll go far If you lasso a star. You'll go far..."
Gasoline soul so cold so cold
I spark into this boldness, boldness!
Fire melts the roof so sky
Can touch my eyes I come alive!
Gasoline soul so cold so cold
I spark into this boldness, boldness!
Fire melts the roof so sky
Can touch my eyes and make me come alive!
The center of the atom bleeds love, just because.
The secret of the golden flower is love, just because.
The center of all things bleed love, just because.
The only lasting power is love, just because.
Golden flower, you’re my holy, fragrant friend
Without end.

Sky Blue Lover

|

Little boy hides behind endless tasks of modern life
Sky blue lover lives inside waiting to be oxidized.
How you run, how you hide, how He laughs at your pride
You cannot resist the Other, the Living Christ, the Sky Blue Lover.
Cause the Universe explodes with color and laughter
Children climbing up pines don’t care about your deadlines
Mother Earth spins just fine even with your deadlines.
The Universe explodes with color and laughter
Children splashing in the pool don’t care about your grades in school
Join the dance, drink the wine, everything will be fine.
Cause sky blue lover never dies, never worries about His life
In the Truth what joy He finds, have you seen His smiling eyes?
Will you trade dust for stars or do you love your prison bars?
You cannot resist the Other, the Living Christ, the Sky Blue Lover.
Cause the Universe explodes with color and laughter
Children climbing up pines don’t care about your deadlines
Milky Way spins just fine even with your deadlines.
You cannot control It, you can only trust It
You can only let It flow.
You cant comprehend It, you can only taste it
Let yourself go.
Cause the Universe explodes with color and laughter
Children climbing up pines don’t care about your deadlines
Everything will be fine even with your deadlines.
The Universe explodes with color and laughter
Children splashing in the pool don’t care about your grades in school
Join the dance, drink the wine, everything will be fine.
Sky blue lover,
Sky blue lover,
Sky blue lover!

Searching for That which does not decay
I got lost, hopeless, and led astray.
But there was a ship and it came from space
Sailed by the members of a different race.
They spoke of a Source and a love deathless
In their eyes I saw great bliss.
In their eyes I could not deny
Something greater than I.
I got onto the ship and soared
Into space, things unseen before.
Floating on the wings of Spirit's thoughts
Things revealed that were not sought
Powered by the love in Spirit’s kiss
In the ship I felt great bliss.
In their eyes I could not deny
Something greater than I.
See your life
through our eyes
Gone to the other side
Riderless ride!
Sunflower patches
Out of the ashes.
They set me down back on earth again
"Don’t worry, son, we dwell within."
"Son the ship is not apart
From this thing you call your heart.
Ocean of love in a drop of dew
You are we and we are you."
In their eyes I could not deny
Something greater than I.
See your life
Through our eyes.
Gone to the other side
Riderless ride!
Sunflower patches
Out of the ashes.
What you thought crashes
What you are flashes.

The Living Adonai
03:42
|
|||
I give all praise to the Holy One
Who never began and who'll never be done
The universe praises the Holy One
The light gives glory back to the sun
I give all praise to the sovereign king
Miraculous source of everything
The universe praises the sovereign king
As infinite atoms dance and sing
And they’re singing out:
Holy Holy Adonai
Glory to the source of life!
"Bliss, eternal bliss," we cry
As we lift your name high!
Eternal God, beyond conception
You alone are my salvation
Eternal God, what can I do
But fall deeper in love with you?
Eternal God, I can't contain
The joy that I find in your holy name
Eternal God I’m forever free
Because You revealed Yourself to me
Holy Holy Adonai
Glory to the source of life!
"Bliss, eternal bliss," we cry
As we lift your name high!
Holy Holy Adonai
Glory to the source of life!
You alone are my desire and this heart you’ve set on fire
Shemah Yisreal Adonai Eloheniu Adonai Ehad
If you got a gift to bring you betta bring it
And if you got praise to sing you better sing it
Cause He's worthy beyond what we can conceive
And His love endures eternally
Ya Hes in love with me and I'm in love with Him
And it never ever ends it’s a win win
So all glory to the one on the throne
The Living God who calls me home
The Living Adonai, I glorify!
El Elyon, the Most High, I glorify!

Cause I'm a sun faced Buddha making some tea,
Read some books in the library.
Moon faced Buddha, brushing my teeth
Stars shine bright in the galaxy.
Infinite worlds manifest the way
So do I just doing my thing.
Infinite worlds manifest the way
So do I I’m a sun faced moon faced Buddha.
I’m the Buddha!
Just another day as the sun faced moon faced Buddha.
Sun faced Buddha going to the bank
Hope I ain't too low on the gas tank.
Moon faced Buddha washing my face
Hows anything exist in the first place?
Infinite worlds manifest the way
So do I just doing my thing.
Infinite worlds manifest the way
So do I I’m the sun faced moon faced Buddha.
Sun faced cosmic lover of all beings, of all beings.
Moon faced cosmic lover of all things, of all things
Of all things, of all things, of all things.
You are the Way, the Way is you
To look outside is to miss the Truth.
This ain't pride I ain't tryin' to exalt me
Far from it, the Truth is so disarming. (x2)
The endless, endless hours disarm me
The pretty petaled flowers disarm me
The death that I must suffer disarms me
Disarms me, disarms me, disarms me
Cause I'm a sun faced Buddha, nothing but me
The deathless Truth will always be.
Infinite worlds manifest the way
So do I just doing my thing.
Infinite worlds manifest the way
So do I I’m a sun faced moon faced Buddha.

The Throne Room
03:48
|

The universe emanates from the throne room!
The universe emanates from the throne room!
And from this Place
Infinite worlds of beauty fill up space.
My eyes make love to Thee
I see nothing but Your face.
Every single atom is singing of You!
Endless galaxies cannot contain You!
And from your grace
Infinite worlds of beauty fill up space.
My eyes make love to Thee
I see nothing but Your face.
All praise to the One and Only!
Oh, Shiva, dancin’ like a diva
Wearing universes like fresh jewelry.
Oh, Shiva, You know that I love ya
Wont you reveal Yourself to me?
Everything bows before your face
Oh, Cosmic Dancer, don’t disgrace
Your servant, lead me on the path
To your eternal bubble bath.
Oh, Jesus, cosmic man
Everything comes from your hand.
Oh, Jesus, cosmic love
I cannot get enough of
Your presence, Oh, its everywhere
Like eating pear inside a pear.
Inside, out, below, above
Gentle gentle turtle dove.
All praise to the One and only.
The universe emanates from the throne room!
The universe emanates from the throne room!
And by Your grace you reveal this eternal, changeless Truth
That salvation is this: You are me and I am You.

Krishna's Beloved
05:34
|

Krishna’s beloved
How he loves your smile.
At the ducklings in the park
Walking single file.
Dreaming of your life
Colors touch your eyes.
Speaking in sonnets
Of your own deathless mind.
I am the taste of water
I am the love the heart of every child.
I am love, I am hate, I am all that is great and is small.
Beyond is and is not I’m the first and the last and the All.
I am all that you hear and touch and taste and feel and see.
And this very life is a manifestation of Me.
You cant understand Him
But His face you can know.
As galaxies of stars
Flow and flow and flow
He is your mother
And your father too.
Krishna’s beloved
Oh how He loves you.
I am the taste of water
I am the love the heart of every child.
(chorus)
Perfect Lotus flower,
Boundless love of God!
Hour after hour
I long for you more to draw hear to your beautiful heart,
The infinite fire in which this universe is a spark.
Krishna’s beloved,
Oh how He loves you.
Before you were born He knew all your would ever do.

The 24 Elders
04:06
|
|||
Shoveling snow in an avalanche
Death follows birth
There is nothing worth my time.
Spirit is beyond times flaws.
No death, no birth
Greater than the pleasures of the earth.
We’re lovers that rest and flirt
On a bed that contains the universe.
And we dance on the dance floor of my soul, of my soul!
And we dance on the dance floor of my soul!
Linger in Samadhi I perceive nothing but, nothing but thee.
Linger in Your presence I perceive nothing but, nothing but me,
Nothing but me.
And I see 24 elders fall on their faces
Singing praise to the glory of the lamb.
24 elders sitting in a circle
lost in the bliss of the great I Am.
24 elders fall on their faces
Singing praise to the glory of the lamb.
24 elders sitting in a circle
lost in the bliss of the Cosmic Man
Go deeper until you become Him.
Go deeper until He reveals them.
Go deeper until He becomes you.
Go deeper until you break through.
(Chorus)

Open my eyes, orange skies
Filled with moons of every tint.
Engine sparks, she's traveled far
Six million light-years spent, spent, spent.
Five years ago Earth ran out of green
Pollution filled the sky like heavy cream.
But we didn’t lose our dreams
We built a ship filled with the Earth’s best botanists.
They were in space for five straight years
But they never lost hope and a planet appeared.
The ship’s door opened and dust sailed past;
Time to get out the oxygen masks singing
We will never give up, Earth is the home we love.
We will never give up, Earth is the home we love.
Fathers and mothers appear before our eyes
Motivating us to find new life.
Well they walked on the ground of the planet they found
It was empty and bare, they didn’t hear a sound
But they came a crater with rising steam
At the bottom there was a flowing stream.
Filled with plants of every type
They fell to their knees and began to cry.
Time to fly back to earth with hope for the race
And a bounty of plants in a glass case singing
We will never give up, Earth is the home we love.
We will never give up, Earth is the home we love.
Surrender is impossible if your love is pure
No matter how big the sickness, it implies the cure.
The heart is an open eye
That beholds all of life
And there is a love inside
That never, never, never, never dies.
Open my eyes, blue skies
Ain't seen since God knows when
Engine yells she served us well
Back on Earth again, again, again.

The Whore of Babylon
04:56
|
|||
A million desires pullin' at my frame
Trying sink me down to a meaningless game
Of being the best with a silk vest and chest
Sticking out like a spout separated from the rest.
But even if I live the sweetest life its gonna pass right by
Gotta give it all up when I die, when I die.
And yo, I tried so many ways to find peace
But I lived in a house with an expiring lease.
And even in moments when I felt release
Death hung over me like a foaming beast.
But the invisible yeast of the Eternal Eye
By God’s grace began to rise and come alive
No more no more I strive blissed out in the starry jive.
Cause the nature of the Self is eternal life
When we realize It we put an end to all strife.
No matter who you are you become a king
Transformed into Him you become all things
But the world is tempting even though its soon gone
To resist the whore of Babylon
Takes all I got but God’s grace
Will lead me back to His Face.
Lord reveal yourself to me and deliver me from delusion
Nothing else can ease this heart on fire.
In You is the fulfillment of everything that I am seeking
You alone are all that I desire!
Cause I have laid with the whole of Babylon
And she is never enough.
The bliss of God makes the rest look laughable
Nothing can compare, Its unsurpassable
Worldly fame is like child’s play
Compared to the joy of eternal day
The experience of the Absolute
It frees all things contain in you
When it hits, an intuitive fist
When God reveals that He alone exists.
But we gotta make a choice to avoid disaster
Like Christ said you cant serve serve two masters.
If you want God you gotta leave
Everything you thought that you wanted to be.
Cause the heaven that the prophets spoke of
It aint some place up above
Its in us, an open book
Waiting to be read, but we gotta look!
Lord reveal yourself to me and deliver me from delusion
Nothing else can ease this heart on fire.
In You is the fulfillment of everything that I am seeking
You alone are all that I desire!
Cause I have laid with the whole of Babylon
And she is never enough.
And I have bathed in the holy gaze of Krishna
And He is the one who dreams this dream of ignorance
put to death put to death by merging with the stream of breath
And awakening to the movie screen
Projecting you and everything.
And it's by Your grace alone in me
I know that You alone are what I seek.
