Metamorphosis Lyrics: mEtAmOrPhOsIS

We must not fear,
Fear is the mind's death
Change is life

It's the Muse: Metamorphosis
From an egg to a larvae to a caccoon, it has awoken,
In an unseen form, with an alien shape,
Summoning ancestors to embody this change
Tracing the lineage to an ancient place,
With unfamiliar features but older than any name or notion,
It's the moment everything changes...Metamorphosis.

Every single is going to change,
And we are the change,
Look, it's right here...

Some call it a quantum leap,
Like the very first fish with the very first feet,
Who has gathered the courage to confront what few see,
Though the species can feel it,
It's in the air for the first fish with lungs to breathe.
Parents watch horrified as they walk up the beach,
Without resemblance, driven by unspeakable needs: Metamorphosis.
The ace card up the sleeve,
Carried on individual shoulders to be achieved,
Metamorphosis.

From an amphibian to a reptile, lizard to mammal,
From the sun, to plants, to the bodies of animals,
It's expressed to the limits of what we can handle,
Turning up the voltage slow, until it's quick, then intangible,
Everything shifts, dissolves and sinks into the mystery,
The Kingdom of Heaven is in you, in your genes,
And when the gene pools splash, egg shells crack,
At the brink of extinction, Life makes her demands,
Metamorphosis.

This is the Metamorphosis,

Right here right now,
As it plays itself out,
In the spirit of our ancestors as the energy comes down,
Embrace the change, we not fear,
This is no future date,
It's happening right here...
Within a single year
Within a single month
Within a single day
Within a single hour
Within a single second
Within a single instant: Metamorphosis.

This is the Metamorphosis...

In the spirit of our ancestors,
The galactic council watches down
As it plays itself out,
Behind the fear and doubt,
This is the Metamorphosis,

(And when it came to the point I was no longer recognizable to myself, I realized this was something I had to do alone. I realized that no one else can do this for me, nor can I do this for anyone else no matter how much I loved them. This was followed by a great sadness. And finally, and understand -of some sort.)
