One Soul to Another
just mess around (Dan)
(Ian)
my rhymes are contagious
spreading on pages never confining to cages
we are designed for all ages
the key to our lines is to try keep your mind turnin’
you cant allow your thoughts to settle you gotta keep stirrin’
keep on mixin’ it up
still pick yourself up
you gotta remind yourself we in this together
there’s no givin’ up
even when its hard to see victory
at the end of every tunnel there’s light you know its gonna be....
(Dan)
alright these word are traveling from one soul to another
motivating people to treat each other like brothers
in a world that extracts what is real from reality
gradually sucking up the youth's originality
and so this is the world in which were livin’ where societal conformity is always such a givin’
I’m beginnin’ the question the ways of those around me lacking the compassion a reaction
that will set us free


(chorus)
where’s the unity humanity its insanity
from one soul to another
there has got to be no disparity between you and me
from one soul to another
(Ian)
there is part of me that’s startled to seethe path humanity has chose to wander its left me in a quandary to sit and ponder the effects and intentions not to mention its direction where there is no time for reflection or connection between one another makes me wonder where we are all headed when the only time when we get for our soul is when we are fed it by a power that was never meant to be in control what needs to happen to turn these scattered pieces back into a whole
(Dan)
we gotta break apart from modern standardization
and collectively come to the necessary realization
that we cant keep facin life with hearts deformed
its the age of information but we are still so misinformed
educate yourself with the lessons of life
meditate your mind to the various sounds and sights
sitting in my room i was thinking one night
yo we only get one chance in this world lets make it right
(Chorus)
where’s the unity humanity its insanity
from one soul to another
there has got to be no disparity between you and me
from one soul to another
(repeat)

Age of Insanity
Life is moving faster and faster
As we sit by our TVs and wait for disaster
Regurgitating words like the weather caster
While seeking power and control like the ring master
Technology is spreading faster than a virus
No apology given as a time flies right by us
Like a missed opportunity for you and me
To rise up and demand universal unity
Though the information these days should connect us
More often than not it only directs us
To a mind set of frustration and anxiety
Silently breaks apart our spirit entirely
We’ve fallen victim to a phase of devolution
Too many problems with no solution
Oil spills virus and air pollution
Held back waiting for new revolution
(Chorus)
Insane
A world where everything is automated and we have no human interaction
Is insanity yeah insane
Bombardment by the media causing people to be hopelessly distracted
Is insanity yeah
(Ian)
Almost every family in this country today
Has a TV in their house or has been exposed to one
The second they step out of their homes to go somewhere
The media is something they can’t out run
In the paper in the news on billboards and signs
They’ve a great job of trying to control our minds
They tell us what to buy what to watch and what to eat
They’ve left a good portion of the country borderline
Insane
It’s interesting in fact kids can beat level 9 but they can’t subtract
They wear a watch cell phone and are plugged into headphones
Anything so they don’t have to interact
With the rest of the world and become part of society
But who can blame them with all this pent up anxiety
But the matter of fact is where so distracted
In the globalized onslaught of this age of technology
(Chorus)
Insane
A world where everything is automated and we have no human interaction
Is insanity yeah insane
Bombardment by the media causing people to be hopelessly distracted
Is insanity yeah
(Repeat chorus)

Undying Love

(Ian)
As I breathe in slowly the breath holds me closely until it expels again
Leaving me utterly defenseless against this relentless
Bitter sense of loss and futility
I had bent this over and over again in my mind
Wondering how our situation would resolve and unwind
Play it back on rewind to try find the reason why im all alone
Like an icon with no symbol
I’ve lost my identity far from recovery
Even though I know you will always be lovin’ me
It’s hard to swallow the idea that we can never be one
And share a destiny wake up every morning and see you next to me
Sippin’ that cup of tea
My love for you has surely got the best of me
But I guess this is that way it has to be

(Dan)(Chorus)
I will always hold you near
To my heart with me you need not fear
Cause you you left my soul at sea
But I knew with you I would be free

My life’s become a blank slate
I no longer paint my fate I merely spectate and wait
for the picture to unfold to reveal the rest of my story that has yet to be told
Even though the pain yields a bitter cold
I have the rest of my life still to shape and mold
To find new loves to change and grow
Life’s too short to focus on what happened long ago
But I need to keep movin’ on
Because soon enough someone else will come along
Just as night will inevitably become the dawn
I’ll find the love I’ve sought all along
And even after I’ve moved on
And that feeling that I felt which was so strong
May be dormant now but is never gone
To my undying love for now I say so long

(Dan)(Chorus)
(Repeat chorus x2)

Silence

(Dan)
The rising sun sets my mind on fire
As I bask in the glow of my hearts desire
I never tire following destiny’s path
Calculating destinations like equations in math

No hate in this heart or fear in this mind
My internal consciousness is controlled and in line
Guided by the rhythm like a man who is blind
Spirituality and reality are less defined

These phrases sail in the waters of my inner most thoughts
Flowing from my imagination like rain drops
Encapsulating memories like frame shops
Prescribing happiness as medicine until the pain stops

I stand strong in defiance composing melodies of life and self-reliance
Feeling emotions that have not yet been explained by science
Most rappers need a beat id rather free style to silence

(Dan)(Chorus)
Silence divides that night
Lost behind a dark veneer
Hope and peace are always near

Silence reveals the light
Dissipating thought s of fear
Make it so our minds are clear

(Ian)
I’m a constant observer passionate learner
Senses so pristine I mean nothing is purer
Driven to take the roads with less tarmac and more dirt
Relentlessly forging ahead until my nerves hurt
I given every single ounce I can give
Like a bottle turned upside down without any lid
When every sound has been spilled and completely drained
I can still hear silence calling my name
How would we know silence if sound didn’t contrast it
How would we know time existed if we didn’t move past it
Would we still feat death if we knew we’d outlast it
Would we gain more ambition and remain enthusiastic
Or would we do something drastic
I mean we’ve practically shrink wrapped this whole planet with trash and plastic
The world would be a better place if more people tried this
Take a moment out of you day and be one with silence
(Repeat chorus x2)

Shake it Up

(Ian)
Swinging in the club like keys on a chain
The bass line so infectious takin’ over your brain
Hey
How many times will it take me to say
We aint ever leaving we are here to stay
Kicking the beat like Gonzalo Tedesco
Hop in the ride start the engines and lets roll
Crusin’ down the block with the lines of immense soul
Forgive us if our approach is a little intense

(Ian)
Ideology shifting your perception of life
What is reality without description and strife
Still were pushing forward like troops in a battle
moving all the people like farmers be moving cattle
Sketchin’ words in my mind as I ponder my dreams
No stop and rewind while I roll up my sleeves
Ok now were back on the attack
And your heart is skipping beats like a Mos Def track

(Both)
Kick up the beat so I can feel the bass line
Moving your feet stop break it one time
Get out your seat we know your doing just fine
Shake it up shake it up shake it up
(Repeat chorus)
uh ahh yeah uh ahh yeah uh ahh yeah uh ahh yeah

(Ian)
move your body like the rhythm runs in the blood
feel it coursing through your veins gushing out like a flood
I wasn’t invited but I don’t need no invitation
For all the ladies out there I got nothing but love
No one can hold a candle to us we are too unique for that
If you think you can subdue us you better sneak on back
to whoever though made you thin you can speak like that
we ideology man we aint weak like that

(Dan)
all right I drop the beat like an addict drops the habit
no need for manual controls yo its automatic
I’m pragmatic I break it down to the facts like the FBI but I follow nobody’s tracks
we’re underground like a subway station
you may think you know what’s up but you lack the information
we’re brand new even got that new car smell
writing 20 a month and were looking to sell

(Repeat Chorus x4)

Savior:

(Ian) In the tropics, traveling across Brazilian land
moving silently with a machete in my hand
clearing a path as i ran, breathing fragrant oxygen
stopping on a ridge to try to formulate a plan
the encampment just below, peering through a telescopic lens trying to decide which route to undergo to rescue my friend they had men at every entrance, on the walls to every end not a place unguarded which meant i'd have to
blend in if i intended to get into the cell where they held him but how the hell am i gonna get past the guards i wonder then i heard a clap of thunder i could use as cover
to move in undiscovered, to retrieve my brother
once recovered we could slip out undercover
of the storm and the night, then i saw two figures in the light
my partner and a man with a gun at his side.

Chorus:(Dan) You are my saviour (X 4)

(Dan)Eyes pealed, i take in the situation
knowing well the great odds that i am facing, heart racing i feel a tingle down my back,
feeling like a tiger crouching waiting to attack
rain falls heavily turning dirt to mud, i must avert the blood from being spilt tonight or else the guilt i'd feel and the pain reveled would be enough to keep me up every single night car lights flash brightly in my direction
as i move through the shadows to avoid detection
the guards have no protection from my silent aim
i do not kill or main, this aint no violent brain
i tranquilize their minds with no pain or blood stains bodies brought down without stress or strain
i break disguise and call out my friends name
but only silence responds from behind the flames.

Chorus: You are my saviour (X 4)

(Ian)I pass through the swinging metal gaits, there's no one in sight
so i hesitate i need to get my bearings straight
as i move like a shadow in the night: invisible,
hoping my friend is still alright
rain is pouring down like sheets in front of my eyes
suddenly in the foreground i hear someone's mumbled cries
as i round the corner i see my partner bound and tied
then i hear a loud horn sound, an alarm starts to rise.

(Dan)No time to waste as i lead him through the gates
entering the misty forest traveling with haste
chased by guard dogs and gun shots through the trees
narrowly escaping to a village by the sea
we climb into a boat and drift away silently
finally the fear expels from inside of me
as the dark sky changes to a blood-red hue
i hear my friend whisper these words of thank you:

Chorus: You are my saviour (X 8)

Traversing Destiny

(Ian)
The air I breathe is sweet
The echoing sound of our feet shifting the rocks of the gravel
As we travel to the tops of the peaks
It intrigues in insists we can hardly resist it speaks
As we jump into the darkest abyss embark
Grabbing life by the wrist it tears apart the reasons why we exist
The sound of the ocean being sprayed by the mist
This is of what life truly consists
Trying to reach that place inside where courage resides
Placing my mind aside letting my heart be the guide
Leaping across the greatest divide traveling side by side
Across the country side so open and wide
A loss of one self and finding of another
Letting your life be held by the hands of a brother
Let go of the fear as leap as you fall from the mountains peak
At the mountains base that night you fall fast asleep
Fast asleep
(Dan)
I wake up to the sunlight shining down
Up in the Rockies just above a mining town
The sky is all blue not a cloud in sight
My mind is new and my hearts in flight
The air is brisk with the chill of spring a
I seek adventure and the entire thrill it brings
When I am out here my very spirit sings
Standing on the highest mountain makes us feel like kings
Gearing up we set our grand plan in motion
The heavens guides us as if we were chosen
To embark on a journey purely with no facade
To climb so high we touch the face of god
It’s a mission to evaluate our soul’s position
Lift our minds from submission to a spiritual condition
It’s only me and my friends conversing next to me
As we attempt the traverse the gates of destiny
The frosty April takes my breath away
I can only pray I don’t meet my death today
As we near the summit the cool sky turns gray
Ill go on though my friends say its best to stay
The atmosphere radiates subliminal light
I know now this ain’t no trivial sight
I’m all alone no body next to me
My individuality got the best of me
Gearing up I set my grand plan in motion
The heavens guides me as if I were chosen
To embark on a journey purely with no facade
To climb so high I touch the face of god
It’s a mission to evaluate my soul’s position
Lift my minds from submission to a spiritual condition
It’s only me
As I attempt to traverse the gates of destiny

Far from Home

(Ian)
The snow drifts over the hills
It’s the heat of the battle, which kills
Having men writing their wills
Anguish drifts in the air a platoon grown worn
The fabric of sanity tears having dead men to mourn
Been walking for what seems like days in this barren land
Laid to waste I can barely even taste
My tongue dry lips chapped torn and broken
It’s like a bad dream from which I’ve been harshly awoken
We’ve been running from our opponent I’ve been told to go back
Crossing enemy lines into the heart of the attack
Was given strict orders in regards to my mission
To regain possession of valuable ammunition
My life’s uncertain my toes frost bitten
Traveling all alone on a road to perdition
No sign of life in sight just strife at night
Just to see my wife and kids again would be all right
(Chorus- Dan)
Your off so far from home and
In a land so stark and frozen
Wondering why you were chosen
You’ve got to
You’ve got to
Forge ahead with new ambition
Listen to your intuition
Cast aside you inhibitions
You’ve got to
You’ve got to
Many of your friends have died and
No one else is by your side but
In your heart they still reside and
You’ve got to
You’ve got to
Follow the road though it may be long and
Even though your strength is gone and
You’ve got to carry on cause
You’ve got to
You’ve got to
(Dan)
Frost grips my lungs like a fatal chokehold
My mind is empty and my body is so cold
So many images flash though my mind
Men left behind reluctantly listed and signed
Conscripted and timed wives children families left behind
Left out in the field twisted and blind
All of them were my brothers how many more will we find
Imp all alone now no brother stands by my side
There’s no place to run and there’s no place to hide
700 soldiers not one on my side
There’s no where turn and no one to confide
I take a breath
And analyze my situation
I must continue despite all the things that I’m facin’
As the day turns to night with my heart filled of fright
Arriving back at my camp is a wonderful sight

(Repeat chorus)
