[Verse 1: Jasper Rumi]

These words mark a new spiritual commencement
I want to lead, because I can't become a henchmen
We'll be ascending to our own heaven
Accelerating like engines in the right direction
Are we naturally good or naturally evil
When underground like the weasels, making music for the people?
We're humans with rights and should all be equal
Flying like condors and free like the eagles
This is the concept behind Hobbes and Rousseau
What philosophers have discussed long ago
Why rhymers have the lyrics they flow
I see hope, but also obsession with gold
In the end, this is makings journey
We all die sometime and are put on life gurney
And placed in our grave. I'll through ashes to the wind
And have a tempest of zen enlighten me from within

[ Hook: Jasper Rumi and Zen Tempest]

And to see , times the only luxury
You can't get it back, so keep making tracks
And to see , times the only luxury
You can't get it back, so keep making tracks
And to see , times the only luxury
You can't get it back, so keep making tracks
And to see , times the only luxury
You can't get it back, so keep making tracks

[Verse 2: Zen Tempest]

We dance, riding the cycles around the sun
Back to the vital enlightenment of the one
And we ask "Why are we here?" And how it begun
But the past is the past and the now steady comes
Drums, beating in the center of the chest
Hum to the rhythm, just an elemental guest
Blessed with a quest and a head full of questions
Rest as the zen that blends with the tempest
Sleep. Speak with the peace of the womb
Seek the release as you reach for the moon
Feed your beliefs until you peak and you bloom
Then let the leaves fall as the seasons resume
This pulsing, convulsing, confusing, amusing
Feud in between the consumed and consuming
Watch with an awe as it does what it's doing
Lost in the process, the throbbing, the movement

[Hook]

[Bridge: Zen Tempest]

We all spend so much time in our mind
Trying to go forward, trying to rewind
But when we align with the present we find
Life is as bright as the sun when it shines
We all spend so much time in our mind
Trying to go forward, trying to rewind
But when we align with the present we find
Life is as bright as the sun when it shines

[Verse 3: Jasper Rumi]

I can't tell you how much I want to be ignorant
Leaving mental predicaments and never getting into them
I can't tell you how much I want to be apathetic
Overthinking is pathetic when life gets hectic
I'm in my own mental trap, and need to exit
I'll have simpler essence with a gust of zen tempest
I want to believe I will enlighten
The world will brighten, and be beyond righteous
I want to believe we're all dumb, sons of guns
Openly spreading love to the neighbors we trust
I want to believe it's all sunshine with no crimes
But in my state of mind, I think it'll be fine
There's up and downs. Life is a balance
I like soft because I'm covered in callus
I have thick skin, mentally
But I'll reach serenity and eventually rest in peace

[Hook]

And to see, times the only luxury
You can't get it back, so keep making tracks
