Otis Barton Lyrics

The very movement of thought is divisive
Never free, we are fragmented by time
There's a desperate pursuit of satisfaction
A foggy wind, it blurs the shore

Our ancestor lay in wait with bated breath
But killed the greed
Greed to receive

Sail, above the swell
The passage feeds the process
Revoke the rule of hurt
The droning plea for fairer days

Embrace the maskless life (nothing less)
Nothing more no ... no symbols, no icons
From a man to a cell (breaking from your shell)
From a cell to an odyssey

If you feel safe when you're self-centered
Touch the ground on which all men stand

Scrap the shackles you wear
Pictures shall fade
Baring the teeth of your hungry mind
Riding the tide

Beware your goals
What they imply
A dear compromise
A shortcut to your demise

Seize the now and yourself become
Lest your ambitions should make you their slave
Seize the now

"The voyage has just begun"

Sail, above the swell
The passage feeds the process
Revoke the rule of hurt
The droning plea for fairer days

Embrace the maskless life (nothing less)
Nothing more no ... no symbols, no icons
From a man to a cell (breaking from your shell)
From a cell to an odyssey

"Notebook of The Odysseus
April 1949

I was eaten alive by fierce, blood-green-eyed chimera
I fed myself to the ocean
Through exploring this endless universe
I found my way
Another plane to wage my war"
