walking on an ancient path
we’ve come so far
we can’t look back
grant us all the strength
of the ones who came before

we’re the warriors of the light
blazing trails into the night
we know what we came to do
so we march forth
and follow through

together we stand
fulfilling a grand plan
and we’re standing
on the edge of a threshold
it’s time to break thru
you know what to do
remain in your truth
as we’re keepin’ hope alive
we stive to unite the tribes

striving to unite
warriors of the light
in this battle we fight
there’s a new dawn in sight

planting the seeds and letting it grow
reaping the fruits and letting it show
we’re just applying what we know
the time is now, all systems are go

it’s never too late
just like it’s never too soon
we be expressing our essence
thru these luminous coccoons

slice thru dark with the sword of truth
keep the transition nice and smooth
live life like we’ve got nothing to lose
always keepin’ on the move

we’re the warriors of the light
blazing trails into the night
we know what we came to do
so we march forth
and follow through!

take a look around, see what’s going on
everything is changing, before our very eyes
the old ways are collapsing, it’s all crumbling down
there’s no need for this to come as a surprise

the system has been broken and it’s burning out
surface from these ashes, like a phoenix we will rise
a world with equal rights for everyone
build a new foundation so that all of us can thrive

this is what we’re here to do
out with the old, and in with the new
see it from a bird’s eye view
living our passion, speaking our truth

creating new solutions
plant the seeds for liberation
so that we can all be free

active participation
in this revolution
it’s time for our awakening

open your eyes…
clear out your mind…
it’s from the void that we create

it’s the collapse…
we’re not going to relapse…
as we take it all to another state

open your eyes…
clear out your mind…
it’s from the void that we create

it’s the collapse…
we’re not going to relapse…
time to take it all to another state

have you ever wondered what are you doing here?
what are you meant to do, is your purpose clear?
there’s a reason and a rhyme for every one of you
so go and find your passion and follow through

yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
listen to me

yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
be who you want to be

open your eyes…
clear out your mind…
it’s from the void that we create

it’s the collapse…
we’re not going to relapse…
time to take it all to another state

open your eyes…
clear out your mind…
it’s from the void that we create

it’s the collapse…
we’re not going to relapse…
time to take it all to another state

matek: words, rhythm guitar, bass, beats
tanya: words, lead guitar

what will it take to
feed all the children
when are we going to
learn from our mistakes

what will it take to
live with compassion
when will we begin
to maintain that state

and the world keeps spinning round and round
got my crown in the sky and my roots in the ground

what will it take to
heal the nations
when are we going to
learn how to relate

what will it take to
free our companions
when are we going to
do just what it takes

and the world keeps spinning round and round
got my crown in the sky and my roots in the ground
it all keeps moving up and down
we’re riding this wave because we’re future bound

when will we learn to
move with the rhythms
when are we going to
open up our hearts

when will we learn to
let go of opinions
it’s time for each of
us to play our parts

and the world keeps spinning round and round
got my crown in the sky and my roots in the ground
it all keeps moving up and down
we’re paving the way because we’re future bound

the revolution’s taking place in our hearts and our minds
the world is rearranging as we open up our eyes
let go of what holds us back, we’ve cut away the ties
we can make a difference if we prioritize

we landed on this planet to create paradise
focused on the mission, no room for compromise
if you see the vision, put your fists in the sky
babylon has fallen, time for avalon to rise

and the world keeps spinning round and round…

i’ve had an amazingly productive time in the studio this weekend.
been working on some fresh material that will be dropping soon.
be prepared!

check out shift leaper, the latest track from new dawn, for a fresh dose of slow burning galactic future crunk.

truth seeker, light weaver
flame keeper, look deeper
wake sleeper, dream reaper
shade creeper, shift leaper
as we step into the new world
redefine what we were told
reinvent reality
as we create what we want to see

soothsayer, game player
way shower, life changer
we are the creators
and the world is getting stranger
moving forward fearlessly
staring in the face of danger
awakening collectively
realizing our true nature…
