They arrived suddenly Came down silently From the sky, they watched On the desert they landed Feel the pulse of sympathy Into the web of telepathy   If you want to survive Be a part of the tribe If you want to survive Be a part of the tribe   Though we had waited for it She left us riding on it It was raining that day I saw it beyond the hills   Feel the pulse of sympathy Into the web of telepathy   The giant pillar of ashes

Living is so easy, if you know who you’re, Says, “Wiseman” from the mountain “Keeps on till things get easy. You’ll find you in the center with all” Wind blows to new direction It reaches to new world, With a melody of your soul, That you’ve been looking for   Starting, oh “this journey”, with a Aquatine on my right and Torch on my left. Head up! Fill step with your blood!   Sun is so beautiful when it’s born a today, Says “a girl” from same mountain Nature breathes in, birds can sing. What perfect this world could mean! Wind blows to new direction It reaches to new world, With a melody of your soul, That you’ve been looking for   Starting, oh “this journey”, with a Aquatine on my right and Tourch on my left. Head up! Fill step with your blood!

Don't you take him out of the hood Please don't measure him with your scale All we want is the life filled with love Won't you take him away from me   Don't you take her out of the home No more being closed from the power If you do shut, the weakness'll haunt you Won't you take her away from me   Don't you take them out of the crib Only sinners know the righteous way They know where the light illuminate from Won't you take them away from me   Don't you take them out of the land You know so well you walked across the border They have been living on their soil Won't you take them away from me   Don't you take them out of the circle They're smart to know the connection and the ride they take to the heaven make them live each day with might   Don't you lose your mind and forget this All the sources that live in this nature belong to their own, not to nobody We're not creator so let him speak

When Molech rises tall Dark Snow starts to fall When Molech rises tall Dark Snow stars to fall   Island of tears Where you can’t hide Bring all your fears And leave all behind   To the summit Where the monolith stands The sun will wash Your fears away   When Molech rises tall Dark Snow starts to fall When Molech rises tall Dark Snow stars to fall   Forrest of sorrow Where darkness rules Hope for Tomorrow Must follow the fools   To the summit Where the monolith stands Children will breath and laugh once again.

Feather off 05:15
I see it  comes off One day,  One by One, comes off The feather of itself disappear At last, only light remains

“A start” showed in prediction Gleeman, now he is singing With a broken neck guitar On a grain of sand, Seeking that promise He’s made to nobody. He’d said to somebody   Hoping to float his imagination Starry sky, he now is flying in   The space, He sees below. Lights dimmed low, A smoke blowed on aged junk That ole smiles evermore.   Trusting, let broken heart to the sky Trusting, let sorrow to changing the color   “A start” showed in prediction Gleeman, now he is singing With a broken neck guitar On a grain of sand, Seeking that promise He’s made to nobody. He’d said to somebody   He said to keep playing Even if it all ends   Dusting ashes from the city that's ruined That beauty, singing “Love everything on this planet” He smiles again, today and forevermore. He smiles again, today and forevermore. Trusting, let broken heart to the wind. Trusting, the falling leaves to “earth”. 
Trusting, let broken heart to the sky Trusting, let broken heart to the wind. Trusting, the falling leaves to “earth” Trusting, let sorrow to changing the color

about

This concept album was created by linking an original film scenario by filmmaker and violinist Nao Nakazawa, paintings by Kariya-based artist Mariko Okamoto, and music by vocalist SAKi and the factors, led by Jody, who is known for his work with TENGAKU DUB. The album is recorded by the same members who participated in the first "Tree of Life", the second "Cosmic flight", and TENGAKU DUB's works. The album features Yusaku Yoshimura, a Boston-based multi-instrumentalist who has toured with Kiddus-I and Earl Chinna Smith, Yoshio Tony Kobayashi, drummer for AKOYA AFRO BEAT in New York, and Kotori, bassist of the Babylon Panic band.
