Discography:
Age Of Deceit (EP, March 13, 2009, Sancrosanct Records) (CD)
1. Intro 1:29
(Instrumental)
2. Serpent's Tongue 4:49
A shepherd's fool will be tainted by the blood shed of his master
Shepherd's fool
Serpent's tongue will bind all wavering souls to eternal damnation
Beyond the beckoning whispers, lies a sinister evil
Evil
Beyond the beckoning whispers, lies a sinister evil
Infecting the ever so twisted roots of mankind
Beyond the beckoning whispers, lies a sinister evil
Infecting the ever so twisted roots of mankind
Beyond the beckoning whispers, lies a sinister evil
Infecting all of mankind
Open all eyes to the deception that blinds us
In the mouths of false prophets lies our demise
Demise
Outside the great gate the hungry wolves wait to claim the misled
Outside the great gate the hungry wolves wait to claim the misled
Outside the great gate the hungry wolves wait to claim the misled
Outside the great gate the hungry wolves wait to claim the misled
A Shepherd's fool will be tainted by the blood shed of his master
Serpent's tongue
Serpent's tongue will bind all wavering souls to eternal damnation
Beyond the beckoning whispers, lies a sinister evil
Evil
Beyond the beckoning whispers, lies a sinister evil
Evil
Infecting the ever so twisted roots of mankind
Wandering blind, ears closed, mouths shut
Falling further and further into the beast's gut
Wandering blind, ears closed, mouths shut
Falling further and further into the beast's gut
Open
Open all eyes to the deception that blinds us
In the mouths of false prophets lies our demise
Lies our demise
Open all eyes
3. Soothsayer 4:48
Tell me what you've seen in the stars of my destiny
For I have seen past the veil of truth
Through your dead prophecies
Bite your wild tongue and pray for the eyes
The future holds no promises
Bite your tongue to see
That the answers don't reside in the sky
Tell me what you've seen in the stars of my destiny
For I have seen past the veil of truth
Right through your dead prophecies
Bite your wild tongue and pray for the eyes to see
Shrouded in a cloud of mist
The future holds no promises
Except a certain end to this world's selfishness
The future holds no promises
Except a certain end
Show me the face under the shadows of your hooded cloak
Tell me what you've seen in the stars of my destiny
Pray for the eyes to see
That the answers we look for don't reside in the sky
Clear your mind of these poison thoughts
Or heads will be severed by the sharp words of the soothsayer
We are all bound by the same, same flesh and blood
By the same laws of our King
Show me the face
Tell me what you've seen in the stars of my destiny
For I have seen past the veil of truth
Through your dead prophecies
We are all bound by the same, same flesh and blood
By the same laws of our King
The future holds no promises
Except a certain end to this world's selfishness
Show me what you've seen in the stars of my destiny
4. Idle Hands 4:43
Take these idle hands away
Do with me what you will
I've been stagnant so long
In this sea of misbelief
Our sleeping minds have fallen victim to the enemy
Scream out your battle cry
And swallow your senseless pride
This will be the end of us
Savor your last breath
For it might be your last
Remember why we are here
Savor your last breath
For it might be your last
Remember why we are here
Take these idle hands away
Do with me what you will
Our sleeping minds have fallen victim to the enemy
Gaze through patient eyes
We will be reborn better than before
Savor your last breath
It might be your last
Remember why we are here
Gaze through patient eyes
We will be reborn
Take these idle hands away
Do with me what you will
Scream out your battle cry
And swallow your senseless pride
We will be reborn
Take these idle hands away
Do with me what you will
I've been stagnant so long
In this sea of misbelief
Our sleeping minds have fallen victim to the enemy
Savor your last breath
For it might be your last
Remember why we are here
5. A Thousand Arms 4:36
A thousand arms have descended from the heavens
To storm the gates of our vast kingdom
They will have no forgiveness, no mercy
I will not fall to, to these demons that plague my mortal soul
The suffering will be great
But I will stay loyal to the rightful throne
Beneath the placid surface lurks a beast
Baring the seven heads of revelation
Ready to devour anyone who answers to its call
The trumpets blow to warn those
Not told of the eve of our destruction
God help us
Calls
The trumpets blow to warn those
Not told of the eve of our destruction
God help us
The king's horsemen have begun
The ride to the edge of the world
Nothing will be left in the wake of their path
A thousand arms have descended from the heavens
To storm the gates of our vast kingdom
They will have no forgiveness, no mercy
I will not fall to, to these demons that plague my mortal soul
The suffering will be great
But I will stay loyal to the rightful throne
Beneath the placid surface lurks a beast
Baring the seven heads of revelation
The king's horsemen have begun
The ride to the edge of the world
Nothing will be left
Nothing will be left
A thousand arms have descended from the heavens
To storm the gates of our vast kingdom
They will have no forgiveness
I will not fall to, to these demons that plague my mortal soul
I will not fall to, to these demons that plague our mortal soul
Oh God help us
The Winepress (album, August 17, 2010, Strike First Records) (CD,
Digital)
1. Intercessor 2:04
Prepare for war
Be not deceived
The time has come
For the reign of our King
Prepare for war
Or be deceived
Secure truth around your waist
Guard your heart with His righteousness
Prepare your feet with the gospel of peace
This is the armor of God
Take up the shield to fend off the enemy
Put on the helmet of salvation
And with the sword of truth
His Word
This is the armor of God
2. Demons Never Sleep 3:55
Close your eyes and pretend like they don't exist
Sleepless demons want to drag us into the pit
They are starving
They are starving for our human flesh
I will go to the very depths of Hell itself
Just to bring you back
Why do we turn away from the hands that created us
I am ashamed
I'm ashamed of what we have become
Take eternal life or be sent to a shallow grave
I fear that it's worse than I ever thought
Our darkened hearts have consumed what little we have left
I will go to the very depths of Hell itself
Just to bring you back
They are starving
They are starving for our human flesh
It's worse than I ever thought before
Close your eyes
Close your eyes and pretend like they don't exist
Sleepless demons want to drag us into the pit
They are starving
They are starving for our human flesh
I will go to the very depths of Hell itself
Just to bring you back
Why do we turn away from the hands that created us
I am ashamed
I'm ashamed of what we have become
Take eternal life or be sent to a shallow grave
I fear that it's worse than I ever thought
Sleepless demons want to drag us into the pit
They are starving for our human flesh
I fear it's worse than I ever thought before
I am ashamed of what we have become
Why do we turn away from the hands that created us
Choose eternal life
Close your eyes and pretend like they don't exist
Sleepless demons want to drag us into the pit
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed of what we've become
I will go to the very depths of Hell myself
Just to bring you back
They are starving
They are starving for our human flesh
3. The Winepress 3:58
This time it's real
Excuses won't bring salvation in the eyes of the Lord
It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God
The wrath of God, so long subdued
His sword will strike true
This world will experience pain the way He did, fulfilling His name
The Messiah reigns
His glory supreme to all
All praise be His
His will, His kingdom
His will, His kingdom
Tear down these walls and abolish what man created
God won't be bound by religion and rituals
Leave those to zealots who'll pay for their sins
The tower shall fall with their hypocrisy buried beneath His feet
Treading of the winepress
Blood to the horses' bridle
The wrath of God fully revealed
His robes are stained with the lives of the wicked
The day of judgment in His heart
The day of redemption has finally come
He'll trample the nations in His anger
He'll pour their blood onto the ground
He'll pour their blood onto the ground
Again they cried "Allelulia, praise His name!"
Our lives are in Your hands, O merciful God
Again they cried "Allelulia, praise His name!"
4. Reconciliation 3:23
Can you not see the price He paid for your transgressions
His life, laid down for your undeserving redemption
We cry out for the truth, but we refuse to hear it
Our hearts have been sold to the Oppressor himself
A path set straight for Golgotha
We led our King to His willing demise
To bear a burden we could not face ourselves
I pray the destroying angel passes over your home
For we have crucified our Lord, our God
And thus, the words of the prophets are fulfilled
Delivered from the power of darkness
Our names, engraved on His hands
My God, my God, why have you forsaken Him
With one last breath, He gave up the ghost
And, covered in blood, we are saved from what's within
A scapegoat for man's depravity, this was the only way
Our salvation lies in the sacrifice of the Worthy Lamb, Jesus Christ
May His death be a constant reminder
That in Him, we live, we breathe, we have our being
In Him, we live
In Him, we breathe
In Him, we live
In Him, we have our being
How we've fallen
Lord, Your arm's not too short to save, even at our darkest
I pray we find Your heart and repent, before we perish
Let the Lamb that was slain receive the reward for His suffering
5. Valley Of Decision 2:43
6. Delegation Of The Seven Plagues 2:49
In a glass sea mixed with fire
We claim victory over the beast
Harps in hand
Singing in joyful accord
"Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty
Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints"
But then the temple doors swung open
Seven angels ready for war
With the bowls of wrath in hand, they went on their way
Woe unto humanity in its fallen state
But this smoke will rise until their work is done
The mark of Hell won't go unpunished
Let the sores cover their skin
Delegation of the seven plagues
Water into blood
Pain and darkness engulf the earth
Delegation of the seven plagues
Ways prepared for battle
The world destroyed before our very eyes
Delegation of the seven plagues
Will we stand up with God
Or let ourselves be tramped underneath the weight of His glory
My brothers
My sisters
His judgment is absolute
Let us rejoice
It is done
7. Monolith 4:15
Be careful of what you say, of what you heart
For the Earth is drunk with the wines of adultery and stagnant with the foulest decay that man could emanate
The time is coming when Babylon will return
You'll never find a creation like her
With a kiss that will lead to hell
Only the Word of God will prevail
How can we say we'll stand strong when even now He calls for our name
Kings grovel at her feet for power, filling their cups with the blood of the saints
I can see the skies opening, bringing fire and darkness
The world revels at the sight of this abomination
But I urge you, my brothers and sisters, partake of her ways no longer
Sins that count as high as heaven do not mirror His grace
Why do we search for truth deep down in the mire
Suffocation comes easily in the filth she perspires
Trudging knee-deep in martyr's blood
Reaching for nonexistent hands
A path forged by idols can never bring peace
We cry out for liberation from our own creation
Redemption is what we seek
Redemption is what we seek from You
Her whispers resonate in my mind
But the wedding supper of the Lamb is all I see
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
MOTHER OF WHORES
These words will be our graves if we do not rise from our transgressions
Lord, place a hatred so intense in our hearts for this calamity
Hell be damned
8. Death Conquered 4:19
As the skies turned black and the world was shaken to its very core
His chosen people were amazed at the words that they ignored
The day, the time were in their hands
Yet they didn't prepare for His arrival
They saw the Lord Himself
But even now, in our present lives
Creation groans for its restoration
A sinful fall
Deceitful lies
There is need for our salvation
But we are not without hope
So let us come unto the throne
Of the One who sympathizes with our iniquities
For we are not without hope
I know my Redeemer lives
And will again stand upon this earth
After my skin is destroyed
In my flesh, I shall see God
The same spirit that rose Him from the dead now dwells within us
To save us from the bonds of death that had once enslaved us
His name we praise
The flames of Hell, they knew my name
And in their fire, my sins consumed me
But there He was, One without blame
And in His hands, He held the keys
Death, where is your victory
Where is your sting
Christ conquered the grave
Now bow to your King
Lights And Perfections (album, March 27, 2012, Facedown Records) (CD,
Digital)
1. Lights 4:21
If the stone would glow, could we know the mystery my mind longs to see?
If the words were spoken, could we hear it in the deep that cries out to the deep?
With knowledge unsearchable, You bestow Your thoughts on man
If only in fragments, I wish to understand Your ways
Have I complicated something here, or is my mind still raveled?
With knowledge unsearchable, You bestow Your thoughts on man
If only in fragments, I wish to understand Your ways
With pieces of the answer, I took to you to fill the gaps
If the stone would glow, could we know the mystery my mind longs to see?
If the words were spoken, could we hear it in the deep that cries out to the deep?
2. Apathy And Petition 3:51
Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within these bones
I've squandered far too much to wallow in this filth any longer
Crush this apathy into dust and conflagrate this heart for You alone
Shake the core of my being, regenerate that child's heart
Transform my mind to understand, the gravity of your plan
My comfort is my vice, and greed I have misplaced as virtue
Wisdom is of no worth if it has only my own interest in mind
My comfort is my vice, and greed I have misplaced as virtue
Accomplishment is void if it was apart from the King
Lord I wish to serve You with unhindered thought
With your grace that sustains is my own heart revived
Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within these bones
I've squandered far too much to wallow in this filth any longer
Crush this apathy into dust and conflagrate this heart for You alone
Lord I wish to serve You with unhindered thought
With your grace that sustains is my own heart revived
3. Pearls; The Frailty Of Matter 3:38
Where can value be found?
My hands are swollen, my back is bent
The appetite is insatiable, this toil will never end
So long I've labored in vain
For a worthless prize and empty gain
Father help me to see what I truly need
The pearl of Your kingdom
Am I so faithless that I cannot trust?
Your power's infinite, is that not enough?
So long I've labored in vain
For a worthless prize and empty gain
Father help me to see what I truly need
The pear of Your kingdom
Only truth will satisfy, and only You are true
Grant me strength to live in You, in spirit and in the truth
The Father hears a heart uninterrupted by greed or Mammon's desires
4. Salt And Wrath 5:17
Born not of innocence but infantile avidity
I let this mortal frame enrage my heart and conquer me
Is this the light I claim I want the world to see?
Or this the salt He said He needed me to be?
The pressure's building to a boil on my tongue
Festering, writhing still
Festering, writhing 'til the tension climaxes
A delicate balance in a maelstrom of misery
It seems that solace is a fantasy and peace alludes my inmost being
Only His heart contains the will to hold so great a peace
Still I pray I feel this madness fade, I feel this madness fade
Ensnaring thoughts slip through my mind like poison
Ophidian words drip from my lips in venomous wrath
If I could bridle this fire, if I could tame this spark
But I know that it's futile without Your intervention
All I need is resignation to a greater dependance
Born not of innocence but infantile avidity
I let this mortal frame enrage my heart and conquer me
Is this the light I claim I want the world to see?
Or this the salt He said He needed me to be?
5. Seed 4:57
When His lips moved, being became
When His eyes look, all is revealed
Omniscient, omnipotent, exalted in Heaven on high
Exalted on high
The Seed has sprung forth in power
Destroying death's iniquitous clasp on mankind
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain for my redemption
Holy is the One who in flesh came to suffer for me
He'll reign eternally, His glory enthroned in praise
Sovereign over creation, emblazoned in majesty
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain for my redemption
Holy is the One who in flesh came to suffer for me
The bruise on His heel will grow ever more faint
The blow that He dealt will forevermore clang
From the earth's chosen people came our "amazing grace"
From this, the line of David, He chose His seed to be placed
On Him, perfection defined
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain for my redemption
Holy is the One who in flesh came to suffer for me
He'll reign eternally, His glory enthroned in praise
Sovereign over creation, emblazoned in majesty
6. Wisdom; The Gateway Of Liberty 4:57
My soul longs for You Lord in this dry and weary land
Fill this vessel for Your fame
Beaten and bruised by those I once called friend
You are God of my strength, I will not mourn
Wisdom and truth I seek from You
If this tree bears fruit I give it back to you
Make my motives pure and my heart steadfast
Lead me by Your will, in You I will hope
What hope is there?
There is but One
I do not possess the will to follow on my own
Only with your aid can I achieve your plan for me
I do not possess the will to follow on my own
Wisdom and truth I seek from You
If this tree bears fruit I give it back to you
My hands have toiled through thistle and thorn
7. Sight And Sensation 4:14
Preying on the dreams of a broken home
Feasting on the bones of a withered frame
If salvation hung on their long winded boasts
Surely their souls would have nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Even past the plank in my eye
I can see that they're blind, leading the blind
Not in judgement, but discernment
I won't follow their voice
Past the plank in my eye
I can see that they're blind, leading the blind
Not in judgement, but discernment
I'll follow the true Shepherd's voice
The spirit so alive and mighty is not a weapon man can wield
In our surrender to His will, we find that way any man is healed
Even past the plank in my eye
I can see that they're blind, leading the blind
Not in judgement, but discernment
I won't follow their voice
Past the plank in my eye
I can see that they're blind, leading the blind
Not in judgement, but discernment
I'll follow the true Shepherd's voice
8. Shackles And Embers 4:10
This porcelain witch drags me under
Her poisonous grasp erodes my will
My strength succumbs to selfish torture
If only my mind would just be still
This time I swore it'd be different, I swore I had learned to cope
With this match I had sed to tinder, with this ember on my lap
The excuses I've made can't hold up any longer
The promises made in vain are returning void to me
Behind those eyes hides a weak and fragile soul
Only longing for a place she could call home
Living in this subjugated hell
Taken advantage for every pain she felt
Disgusted and shamed by the decisions I have made
I turn to the place where my sin had in anguish been paid
"Father forgive me though I know just what I have done
Teach me to walk with You as though we are but one!"
In His great peace am I conceding
That which would cast me from His face
There is no foothold on my heart
These shackles will no longer hold me down
9. Perfections 5:09
This is our blessed hope, the Son of Man is coming soon
The trumpet has been set, to the archangel's lip
The sky will crack, and in the twinkling of an eye all is revealed
The hour has yet to fall us but soon this prize will be apparent to us all
Pressing on, digging in for a goal worth so much more than any desire this heart could ever obtain
On that day, our ransom redeemed
His glory will shine forever, our faith embodied whole
The very substance of our faith unfolds
This is our blessed hope
Why do we stop believing part way through His great story
When His true perfect nature will soon reveal its glory?
An inheritance incorruptible, perfection passed down by grace
He is the resurrection
In Him my hope is placed
I hear their voices rising from all the empty graves
"In man did we so perish, in Christ we live again"
The hour has yet to fall us but soon this prize will be apparent to us all
"In man did we so perish, in Christ we live again"
In The Taking Of Flesh (album, July 9, 2013, Facedown Records) (CD,
Digital)
1. En-Hakkore 5:52
My thoughts are distant, my mind is clouded
Over and over again I find myself seeking, searching
I'm left still wanting, cerebral crawling in the landscape of ideas
Wrapped so tight, in the cold embrace of pride
The only thing holding me from the grace at His side
En-hakkore; the spring of him who called
My life empowered by the Father of us all
En-hakkore; my broken, feeble plea
The water rushing forth consoles my deepest needs
Now from my heart flows a living river, so gifted me by the tongues of fire
I feel the gift so freely placed, now flowing through my veins
Desperately I search for the answers, to the riddles I have so long pondered
All high and lofty things are brought low before the Lord
Yet still I have an uncontrollable thirst
To see the source and know the face of the One who came first
This thought now grips my heart no matter how hard I try
The thought of Transcendence meeting me eye to eye
I will seek You, I will find You, I will seek You, I will know You
Not one thing could take the place, nothing could share this yoke
2. Itching Ears 4:38
What profit is it for a man, to gain the world and lose his soul?
Hear me now, I speak the words of truth
The love of self leads to a weakened structure
All the words set forth upon this page
Profit the soul much greater than all earthly gain
It's so much more than just catechization
The vexation of my own predilections
The sacred texts have been and always will be
That we may be equipped for every work
On and on we cycle words in contest
Striving to dredge the truth from our iniquity
All the worth of my insipid pandering
Falls prostrate before the throne of majesty
It's so much more than just catechization
The vexation of my own predilections
The sacred texts have been and always will be
That we may be equipped for every work
The search goes on and on, to fill their itching ears
They've walked away from wisdom, and clung themselves to myth
Of all the ways we've faltered, the greatest may be this
To wander far from teaching to please my rotten flesh
Is folly lower reaching than climbing into the pit
Treacherous, reckless, ungrateful and heartless
Wearing His name and still denying His power
Treacherous, reckless, ungrateful and heartless
Grasping at knowledge and still lacking the truth
3. In The Taking Of Flesh: Theanthropos 5:26
Possessed by God Himself from before and beyond
Sharing the task of this masterful craft
As His hand reached for the deep, stretching the canvas tight
Spoke matter into substance, outside of time and space
Assigned the sea its limit, and set the sun in place
His lungs then passed to our form, the breath of His own life
The spark of life
Seen in glimpses, an apparition of pure benevolence
A sight to behold, the Angel spoke of old in Divine Essence
To think a man once beheld the Truth incarnate
To think once more that this man lived to tell
The power of the universe, then wrapped so small
Immanuel, inherent man of quintessence
The life of love, sent to speak the words of He who sent
Choosing at every turn submission to His will
Humility is all I see, rightful king and conqueror sitting in a place so low
Endowed with all power and wisdom
Still obeying right into the prying hands of Death
Speaking truth to all who had ears to hear
Touching the hearts of those who harbored naught but fear
Rejecting crowns and thrones that He had been shown
In favor of the time He'd come for His own
4. In The Taking Of Flesh: Diakonos 4:48
The Lamb, pure and holy, the only One found worthy
The cup would not be passed, no this cup would not be passed
The agony of the prayer, and the sorrow of His heart
To know the weight of sin that would soon rest only on Him
How bittersweet the tears of blood, how costly was that flow?
The sanguine stain upon His brow, how desperate was that plea?
The sting of betrayal in the kiss of a newly-made stranger
The abandonment of a friend, for nothing more than green
There was found no fault in Him, perfectly blameless yet
Given to death, not just for Barabbas, but for the whole of man
And it was my sin that held Him to that cursed piece of a tree
Yet in His power he submitted, giving strength to those who whipped
Giving breath to those who mocked
"Eloi, Eloi! Lema sebachthani?"
He was forsaken for the sake of us all
And in this forsaking was found His victory
His final breath heard both in Heaven and in Hell
Against the gates of which He has prevailed
The veil was torn, the temple destroyed
And in the tomb rebuilt again
He holds the keys
The One found worthy
It is finished
5. Wretched Restless Forms 3:04
The hunger I have
And the thirst I possess
Are naught if I bathe in this filth
That feels like home
Actions of my hands
Passions of the heart
All fade and rot if I'm left here alone
All things dead in me are cast aside
And at the core I'm made new
But this wretched, restless form will fight me every single step of the way
The advocate sent for my aid
Renews, revives and transforms with mercies new
Day by day I'm sanctified in submission to his way
I'm washed in the blood
That much is always true
But the choices I make
And the actions I take
Serve to broaden of obstruct my view
By the spirit we have the power to resist
Just as he has the power to forgive
Oh, Lord, cleanse me, cleanse me
The advocate sent for my aid
Renews, revives and transforms with mercies new
Day by day I'm sanctified in submission to his way
6. Erchomai 3:39
There is an ache that cannot be eased
In this temporary home to which I have been leashed
It drives deep to the core, rattling the oldest of bones
It's fanning the faintest of flames
And moving the greatest of stones
This primal cry, inscribed into my inner being
Is echoed in the foundations of this groaning word formed earth
This want can I so faintly know
In satisfaction of the seeing
The promises fulfilled by Him
By Him who has all worth
The One who comes brings with Him judgement
The One who comes brings with Him wrath
Now I ask you this my brothers
Who could stand before that?
The One who comes brings with Him justice
The One who comes brings with Him mercy
How undeserved is His forgiveness
And to my ears it sounds so sweet
This, the fulfillment of Your wishes
The grand unfolding of Your plan
We see as through a glass lit dimly
Until He comes to take her hand
The Spirit and the bride say "Come!"
With all who hear and yet still thirst
The Spirit and the bride say "Come!"
Yet these things must take place first
7. Of Jasper And Carnelian 4:26
Behold this One of power
Behold the One upon the throne
Set before Him, on a sea of crystal glass
The Seraphim declare His worth
Not one thing holds them there
But the great mystery, the Maker of heaven and earth
Set your eyes towards the epitome of glory
Who holds the keys of life and death
Lend your ears to His thunderous voice
You'll find it hard to keep your breath
Enraptured by the sensation divine
The Jasper King, magnificent before my eyes
Holy is the Lord, God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
There is but One found worthy
Weep no more, and dry your tears
To Him upon the throne
Be glory and power forever
8. Thou Knowest 3:21
Could you believe you've gone too far?
Has His great reach stretched to its end?
"Oh son of man, can these bones live
In shambles though they stand?"
"The only answer I can propose
Is that Thou knowest, Lord"
Out from the graves, from the mouth of death itself
Raised into mercy, delivered from all chains
Not one thing stands outside His grasp
Not one of you would be denied
If only you would turn to hear
The kindness of His call
Let no thought enslave you
Let no man dissuade you
Let no chain still bind you
Let no fog still blind you
9. Quintessence 4:51
(Instrumental)
