Shadowlands
What would it take
To step into your power
Would your actions be different
If this was your final hour
One of our biggest motivators
Is knowing that we will die
Do you really want to spend your life
Feeling like it’s a lie
Going through
The same mundane routines
While on the inside
Your soul screams
At the torture and suffering
You put yourself through
Locked in a cage
Like an animal at the zoo
But this is not a cage
Of the physical kind
It’s the one created
In the trappings of the mind
Keeping you paralyzed
And frozen in fear
As time passes
Year after year
Constantly telling yourself
That you’ll get to it soon
While drowning your sorrows
Under the light of the moon
Numbing yourself
To the way that you feel
It’s hard to escape
When nothing seems real
Society is designed
To keep you a slave
Sucking your energy
Until you lie in your grave
Is this really
Why you are here
To succumb to the masses
Staying paralyzed in fear
What if there was
A different way
Where life was fun
You could learn and play
And recapture the innocence
You had as a child
Living with reckless abandon
And going wild
Having fun
With all your friends
Maybe it’s time
To make amends
And change the way
You choose to live
It’s time to learn
To love and give
This is not for others
This is for yourself
So that you can go within
And find real wealth
And learn to activate
The holy flame
Dissolve the illusion
Of this tiring game
You will come to find
The power within
So that you can stand tall
And raise your chin
No longer will you simply
Stare at the ground
Keeping to yourself
Never making a sound
You didn’t come here
So you could play small
It’s time to rise
And heed the call
The Age of Awakening
Has already begun
Illuminating the Shadowlands
With the light of the One
Dissolving all fear
Shame and guilt
And the systems in place
That have caused you to wilt
The old world
Is now at an end
And it is time for us
To learn to transcend
Beyond the fears
And the thoughts of the mind
That keep us trapped
And totally blind
To the true power
That lies within us all
How long will you wait
Before the Earth starts to fall
