"Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water”

[an-onyx]

If I love, admire, and madly sing the praises of the wind, And if I drink its fluid, living wine to the dregs. It is because it swells my whole being and because before It filters through my lungs and through my pores Into the blood that sustains my body, With its rude strength or its great gentleness Expansively, it has embraced the world.

~ Emile Verhansen

A great hope has crossed the earth.  A great hope has crossed my fear.

[an-onyx]

Give me the strength of the rising sun

Give me the truth of the word’s unsung

And when the last bells ring

The poor men sing

Bring me to kingdom come

What the hell will happen now? I really don't know man We'll do what we've always done? Shut our eyes and hope for the best? NO! We're gonna face this And step out onto the tracks Stare it right in the face THOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Walk around the world, it feel like every place the same I look into your eyes and see that you are in some pain Freddie gonna help the business, help a rope around your neck Gonna help you make a choice, let it sit, don't let it rest You a pest, what the fuck, you left a mess It's okay, I'll just say that your body's gone today You in Hell, I don't think you failed, you just made some bail Come that day, it gets worse and I hope you fucking hurt

Now what's the word, captain? I think I caught you lackin' There are ninе more layers than this hell's packin' No tippy tappin', bitch I comе in rippy rappin' I feel lucky I'm not you At the top I do the do Stuck in the fuckin' darkness and it's cold, at heart Haven't felt sun in some days, bitch, where do I start? Start from the top, and the next stop the bottom Rock bottom baby, I swear I already got em'

Close your eyes and think of something for me Think of all the times that you've been feeling kinda lonely What could you do with your time instead? What? You smoking weed, you fuck your bitch and go to bed Notice all the colors that you seeing in your head Now strip away that shit and feel the darkness, feel it spread This is what is like to be known as dead Now open up your eyes, you see the world it is red

                             In an age of darkness light appears                              And it wards away the ancient fears                               March to the anthem of the heart                            To a brand new day, a brand new start

                                     A beauty lives in every soul                             The more you love, the more you know                               They pass the torch, and it still burns                                Once children then, it's now our turn

[an-onyx]

To wander lands of ice and snow In the desert heat where nothing grows A tree of life in rain and sun To reach the sky, it's just begun
