Prelude 03:24
Here I behold Here I take sight Of a clearing in the darkness In the cold black of night Wreathed in black branches She tenderly weaves Among tongues of young flame From the shadows she breathes Breathe breathe Tenderly weave Redden the cup Of my skin Run down the night Til the shadows take flight So the black earth May grow green again

From the rippled distance Of the heat it came Rolling liquid Rising level on the plain Drawing ever closer Calling into being Crackled ozone Sky tore open howling Unto the clear blue light Unto the clear blue light Thy of the true vine flow Shattered bolt of light Rolling ragged cross the sky Jagged is thy path Through the ocean dry Unto the clear blue light Unto the clear blue light Thy of the true vine flow There on brittle branch unfolding From the depths of the abyss Comes the green and tender mercies Self renewing spark of the infinite Why do you suffer Why are you so alone Drive straight and Fletch thy arrow Pick up and bend thy bow Through this realm we wander No solace seeps from ash and stone Cast off your trance of sorrows Arise my child That horn has blown Where the shattered blade Lays broken calls the wind sunlight bleaches white the bone From blackened skin Here the skulls rolls with the Flower blooms of spring So ascends And does transcend All suffering Unto the clear blue light Unto the clear blue light Thy of the true vine flow Sprout little seed below

Existence 07:14
Here it stands And there it does alight From where it branches It does take flight And though it’s path Is there for you to choose In time my child in time You’ll come to know The news That god gave man one song And it was The blues Then again you too will know of the beauty in The horror show life takes life Myriad as the blades of grass The days arrayed soon come to pass In Games inside of games inside of Games inside of games inside of Games of mass distraction Custom fit you by design While the only true possession Here is time Games inside of games inside of Games inside of games inside of Games drawn from abstraction Built to misdirect your mind From the only true possession Which is time By the way, hey It’s your turn For the slow, slow, slow, slow burn It’s your turn For the endless night For the sweet delight For the black and the white Until the day that you find It’s not wrong or right It just is Games inside of games inside of Games inside of games inside of Games of mass Distraction Custom fit you by design but the only true possession Here is time May your joys in this world Be in disproportion to your sorrows That is my true prayer for you But then again you too soon will know Of the horror in beauty show Life takes life But There’s one cool trick To this existence kid This worlds exactly what You say it is And in this And of this And over And above this You and you alone have absolute And total Control

There where the salt air Clings tall reeds by the road Something there calls to you Out of a dream Yonder horizon falls Over distant shores Where there dries The shadow of Footprints unseen Born golden Child of infinity The ocean sings To your divinity Bequeathed the sky Bejeweled sands Dance with the serpent In your hands Fisherman cast your net Up into the stars Gossamer threads Let the dewdrops bead Harvest the starlight of Ten thousand suns Light the lamp With the spark Of eternity Why do you doubt The truth you know In your heart Why do you stare Through delusions screen Why do you compare The seeds that you’ve sown And feed the roots Of your own suffering Born golden Child of infinity The ocean sings To your divinity Bequeathed the sky Bejeweled sands Dance with the twilight In your hands

In worlds of pleasure And worlds of pain What comes from hunger does remain in fleeting glance beyond the pane that severs space from time Slapping off the Back alley wall Hear the women Laughing down the hall Beyond the realm Of chaos lies Turquoise water The dome of sky where marbled shores And hills that rise In lapis lazuli hear the colored bird in the palm and the offshore breeze coming on So by desire so be ensnared into this room to forever compare Ascend through rooms With heaving sigh Transcend this realm Gone on high Illuminate the pillar of light beyond the veil of flesh only then is it revealed that time exists in nonlinearity So we scheme Trick and deceive And fall upon our own Skullduggery But all is folly The truth we seek Is abundant all around So by desire so be ensnared into this room to forever compare The slayer came upon the stone with jagged blade he crept alone to temples lit with torchlight shone on figures carved from abalone Oiled adorned Craven and depraved he raised the blade And shattered shadows scatter everywhere and pitched the world into the sun

Spawn upon a Zephyr spore borne over distant seas Limitless as the Azure skies of summer Empires of eternal dawn Recede into a dream There exist within the prism Mist of spring Guide by a stones throw Of divine pre-destiny Beyond your tea leaves now it’s calling you to see Slip into the limitless Infinite call to thee All is possibility And abide The sign Go among the forest nymphs light pretty foolish things That flit about and dance upon The air and stream Many hands upon you now Descend into a dream There exists in the Prism mist of spring Guide by a stones throw Of divine pre-destiny Beyond your tea leaves now it’s calling you to see Slip into the limitless Infinite call to thee All is possibility And abide The sign Divine Banish now all demons of Solemn profundity That leaden weight through which things can only fall Kill it now with laughter Kill it now with song Sisyphus roll your rock Into the ocean green Guide by a stones throw Of divine pre-destiny Beyond your tea leaves now it’s calling you to see Slip into the limitless Infinite call to thee All is possibility And abide The sign Divine The divine Hummingbird plunge Nectar deep From misty wisps Of mossy seeps As multitudes of color surge Into this instant And converge Abide Abide Abide The sign Of the divine

Come and See 07:02
Some find beauty abundant Some cultivate the light Some lay awake in the amalgamated drone of the unsleeping city and say everything is gonna be all right Everything gonna be all right Come and See Ladies and gentlemen slip inside this tent and see the dusty jewel of perception wiped clean reflecting reality in all directions infinitely Some things come together Some things fall apart Some things will adapt Some things will evolve Some things get lost in the dark Come and See Slip inside of this tent and see The highway open on infinity and The gods are smiling down on you each and every day the gods are smiling as you go upon your way Some say chaos is the order and Order an illusion that we see but the necessity of duality is because of the binary nature of the mind one and zero black and white right and wrong all night and day but Slip inside of this tent and see The highway open on infinity and The gods are smiling down on you each and every day the gods are smiling all along the way Come and See

Child, I’ve never seen Like another come your way if i’m in a dream I don’t ever want to wake Child I’ve never seen Child, I’ve never seen Like another come your way if i’m in a dream I don’t ever want to wake Child i’ve never seen Child I’ve never seen Child I’ve never seen

about

Two Americans and a Russian meet in a former tank factory beneath Budapest. What happens next? Come and See

Collapse as Creation
At a certain point, old methods and old forms no longer function or apply. All things must adapt and evolve. Art's purpose is to challenge the individual with new perspectives, new possibilities. To stimulate thought and discourse. To open up avenues of innovation.
With our band, Chinese Rolex, we reached the point where continuing as before was not an option. Songs. Structure. Band. The familiar concepts and solutions were no longer tenable. We embraced collapse. Chaos and dissonance ensued. To the outside observer it would look and sound like insanity. However, we realized the necessity of breaking things down to the elemental level. In a way, we became like children again. Discovering instruments and sound for the first time before a duality of judgement sets in.
Over time and through processes of erosion and accretion we reached a firmament. New forms emerged around clusters of notes and rhythmic patterns. These evolved into themes and then further on into harmonic structures and movements. We retained spontaneity within the composition, with themes remaining multi-configurable and fluid until the moment of capture.
The songs are linked conceptually by the lyrics. These concern the emergence of a transformational figure. This individual may be living or may yet be unborn. Who knows?
It could even be you.
