C. 00:37
"C." Is there really no choice other than the lesser evil? If it's so, then we'll all Drown in the concrete of their egoistic realm. Choking, Coughing, or else, take part in a Conformist Consumption of Clichés. See? So many evils begin with a C. Until we see the choice is ours - Stain the fabric black, or leave it white. Since, the checkmate can only be postponed by the length of their board.

"Thus spoke..." Dark cave, eagle and snake The only company he ever had, Bored of his thoughts one day he became Willing some changes to make. In order to teach Teach and be taught, The wise one came down Down from the hills. Looking for man that is equal to him On a long journey the wise one went, A pity it was that whatever he spoke None of the people there could understand. In order to teach Teach and be taught, The wise one came down Down from the hills. II. Where is the Almighty? Where is our Creator? I'll tell you -- We have killed him! All of us together! How did we do that? What were we thinking? Is there no water that can clean up our bloodstained knives? Now we can only hear the sound of the shovels Of the gravediggers burying the maker, Even the holiest can fall apart People have killed it now - The Maker is dead! III. He was wasting his time They had no ears for his wise words, The goal called the "Above - human being" Was never achieved.

Non Serviam 03:08
"Non serviam" Thinking is moving, Moving brings changes, Changes are vital. Now, try picturing this: Drizzly morning, a bus arrives, А halfway smoked cigarette extinguishes on the wet pavement... Why was it lit at all? The pressure of the clock will tell the Right is wrong, And one will forever ignorant remain when knowing not what ignorance is. For, there are laws much more powerful than the ones prescribed... Or, so you have been told?

Further West 03:10
"Further West" Replace sorrow with rage, make it fluent, not frozen. Find your Will, let the Will find you. Better? Worse? Or, just different... If you don't like it don't have one. And, look - Further west! Beyond that horizon horizontality awaits, The Prince was right. Right? But, remember - Only a speck of mud makes you throw the honey away, No matter how big the cask was.

“Illusion of Black” Abandoned property in my illusion To ashes it was burned, With a chilled spine I passed out In white room I woke up. The driver took me back there, asking: "Why are you doing this? No one has entered that house for years, How come you're not afraid?" Searching through the scorched black halls Clawed silhouette of terror With low whisper the black girl said: "Leave now or stay forever!"

Paradoxes 06:29
"Paradoxes" Brightest nuance of green - it leaked through, banishing the gloom Equality dominates among mankind, understanding is in bloom, Joy, love, respect, they have long sown their seeds, Swallow's songs are saluting humanity's kind deeds. I wish they did... Darkest shade of grey - it scratches the soul of the world Ignorance leads to ruin, strife takes over the earth, Grief, hate, disdain, hungry abyss pulling down The tornadoes of doom are howling, on doomsday their voices mourn. I wish they didn't...

A-Circle 09:00
"A-Circle" I. Tough and endless was the question if suffering is an inevitable section, and penalty a way right from wrong to differ. If a sage could tell how to break this magic spell, and replace this chaos with order in the world. II. Could pictures be painted for the beauty of art and poems sung straight from the heart, When tunes would be played only for music's sake then a different world we will make. III. The target is a circle, so hard to be achieved for the blackest of all flags should first be waved, To be the circle's mother that flag is believed and our savior from the certain grave. II'. Could pictures be painted for the beauty of art and poems sung straight from the heart, When tunes would be played only for music's sake then a different world we will make.
