can we wake up from our sleep
carry on, and continue to dream?
why such a heavy heart?
it's only heavy when you choose to carry it all
so shallow we are, but only victims of influence
Is it possible to escape the narrowed hallways of surveillance?
to bring down the walls of the maze
and burn them to the ground?
with great glory, all blood stained
our blood and lungs already so contaminated
but our minds, our souls, our hearts, our voice
so animated
so individual
let us take back the power
let us claim what is ours
we the people are what hold up the tower
we the people are what hold up the pyramid structure
jab the eye with the spear
chop it to pieces with kitchen knives
devoured and digested
then flooded again with the flowing water that keeps us alive
gravity will turn the blind pyramid over
and spill out the knowledge which the eye has withheld from us
the knowledge that dwells within us
the knowledge that dwells within us

its gonna' be bigger than Texas
dark secrets awaken from deep beneath the break
down in the rift neath the waves of destruction
grab hold of sanity
yet come full intake
undivided preparation for a violent tossing
are your eyes closed? not excited
to stay asleep in shade
weren't we all walking dead once?
watchmen were always there for the sheep
never a blind eye
in response to an overwhelming onslaught of deceit
now to peruse cross the ocean with consolation
behold the great battle between the polar forces
behold the great battle between the polar forces
in the hearts of men and evinced in physical form
today's events blown wide open
we will witness the World to carry on the story
if not I then he or the next
if not us maybe never again
if not I then he or the next
if not us maybe never again
we will witness in glory to carry on the story
bigger than
bigger than Texas

save us from the algorithm computer
from the money machine
never mind that new load o' cash
its off to the harbors, they print to destroy
its off to the harbors, they print to destroy
never think of what they never speak of
never think of what they never speak of
how dare you bring the real debate
real solutions to real problems are not welcome beyond these gates
reality is product we create, reality is product we create
golden tongue and the jester clown, haircut so pretty to look at
the big boys are all outa' town off to the bank fillin' up gold sacks
song of mercury
oh, the fruit of the message is be your own
the fruit is only sweet when off the tree
not after the bugs got to it from sitting around
don't miss the bus
back on your feet
no matter how shaky the ground

flee from the vacuum of the group trance
lives lost
(lives lost)
lives lost and the collective goes on without them
truth is sure to set you free
external events out from the screen and the sky
(in the sky)
directed astray to steer you
we are hinted to welcome the crumbling
for the sake of a structured new way
sounds to me like someone wants power
psychedelics free our minds
from the havoc in our lives
(hold on to these days)
everything is fine? who are we kidding?
there's no time to waste
don't hold your breath
just live it

the eagle has two heads
watch your back cause your best friend is a two-faced killer
I am the one who doesn't belong
the joker in the deck
this is two eyes for an eye
because the future holds no place for my kind
(a man with a mind, a man with a mind, a man with a mind, a man with a mind, a man with a mind)
return from your dark corner
be truly free and walk with the giants
to abandon all that keeps us divided
not one world under the king
they were fake ancient bloodlines
(fake ancient bloodlines)
they were never supreme
they failed every time
the people have the supreme minds to create a future
we just want to live our lives
get the fuck off our doorstep
get the fuck out of our lives
I'm an enemy of your kind
I feel you have betrayed your country
your oaths are null and void
you do not understand
my brothers won't go quietly, not under you
you will never be god
not this train, not this brain
go like a man square facing the truth
you've been fooled, the signs and symbols you use
we know what they are
we know who you are
the truth in the shadows
our great disconnection from something
our great disconnect
you know as little as I
you are as small and insignificant as I
insignificant as eye

catch me if you can
I'm on a staircase
with a light somewhere at the end
I'm defeated by no man
I won't stop 'til I'm a dead man
sorry to parade on your plans
but I'm nowhere
where do I plan to go at the end of this flight of stairs?
as it is listed
the train came and you missed it
but it's all a dream
disaster follows close behind
reach your head down and kiss your dick goodbye
life is what you make of it
it's just a lucid dream

scale down
the picture you see splits infinitely from center down
for a counter to every motion
three and six sides,
warm perfection
outcomes destruction
I see no perfection in three dimensions
income seven for insurrection
the return of imperfection
beyond the tiny rock section
into infinite question

be in the beauty of being
dwell on the morrow to rob the beauty of seeing
onto future in computers, we blast up the past
the now is completing
we've found and accepted the greetings
from the guardians who gather in meetings
more than ever competing
when the power is fleeting
satellite passerby
in the temple of the sky
rain down cognition
reflecting all sides
I stand still to bring about my own
my very own
I stand still to bring about my own
on a wobbly wagon pulled by a confused mule
the ground I stand on pulled by a confused mule
be in the beauty of being
dwell on the morrow to rob the beauty of seeing
onto future in computers, we blast from the past
the now is completing
we've found and accepted the greetings
you've got what you asked for

woe is the material
You are the just one
save me
peered much too deeply
into dark waters safety
intelligent genes of an actual agent
confused, conflated
beware of intelligent electoral enslavement
now do you know what I mean?
attention now on the obscene
transparent alchemical memes
much to hard to think
easy to say, radical extremes
spewed out the mouth of the river in streams
in dreams where I see
in dreams where I see
river of blood
river of pride
deadly sin is the duty of someone
if not it be this one then the next tide
if not in the center then from the side
truth belt choking tight
don't let me forget the breastplate
the shield and sword to fight
feet shod with heavy soles
on this short walk of life
helmeted and robed with a tattered tunic
to stay warm in the night
with all this, with all of this armor
I wish to tease no soul
I wish to tease, I wish to tease no soul
see much evil
hear much evil
speak much evil
fear no evil
the truth in the shadows
our great disconnection, from something
our great disconnect
it's a beautiful thing
it's a beautiful thing
on this short road
(it's a short road)
your story is my gold

They Dwell Beneath the Temples Orlando, Florida
Songwriter, producer, and vocalist Jay Cooper began his music career in 2003 playing drums for four local metal and hardcore
bands in Orlando, Florida: Sparing No Lives, Along Side Oni, Wavedash Through the Onslaught, and Years of Impact.
Sometime in 2009, They Dwell Beneath the Temples (TDBT) was birthed as an idea for a solo metal project. It soon evolved from a thought into a home studio.

They Dwell Beneath the Temples recommends:
Unseen Faith's album, EVOKE, is a nice blend of deathcore-oriented, djenty, heaviness that satisfies my musical appetite. The vocals/lyrics are excellent and pleasing to my personal taste in Metal.
