Life Substance #19 - The Male Being.

(Verse 1) Out of the silence, out of the light. The spiral turns, and we fade into night. The double-flame flickers, it splits into two Leaving a vacuum, a hunger so new I am the action, the force, and the spark. Carving a path through the cold and the dark. The "X" has been weighted, the balance is gone. And here in the shadows, a hunter is born. (Pre-Chorus) I feel the tension, the drive in my bone. A king on a mountain, yet never so lone. The feminine whisper is locked in a cell. While the fire of the "nineteen" begins to swell! (Chorus) Substance Nineteen! The power of the will. To guard and to conquer, to chase and to kill. The masculine current, a river of fire. Born from the depth of a cosmic desire. I am the armor, the shield, and the blade. In the Great Architect's grand masquerade. One half of a soul, looking for the lost light. Substance Nineteen – the king of the fight! (Verse 2) My eyes are on boundaries, on status and pride. With the "killing principle" deep down inside. It’s the law of the jungle, the weight of the hand. To fertilize life and to rule o’er the land. But don’t be deceived by the strength that you see. For inside this power lives a deep mystery. A longing for softness, a ghost of a grace. That I cannot find in this ruggedized place. (Bridge) The pole has shifted, the winter is long. I hide my fragility under this song. I am the "Number Nineteen" in the book. With a heart that is trembling if you dare to look. I’m a fragment of God in a soldier’s attire. Walking the bridge through the evolutionary pyre. (Guitar/Orchestral Solo) (Chorus) Substance Nineteen! The power of the will. To guard and to conquer, to chase and to kill. The masculine current, a river of fire. Born from the depth of a cosmic desire. I am the armor, the shield, and the blade. In the Great Architect's grand masquerade. One half of a soul, looking for the lost light. Substance Nineteen – the king of the fight! (Outro) The spiral keeps turning... One day the poles will meet again. But for now... I am the roar. I am the strength. I am Nineteen.
