Life Substance #6 - The I's "turning" of the "movement" or the "energy"

(Verse 1) The universe is shouting, a torrent and a flood A river made of lightning, a fire in the blood. But energy is empty, it’s a ghost upon the wind Until it finds the center, until the gears are pinned. It flows into the "I", into the silent, dark core And hits a wall of spirit, a wide and open door. The waves are crashing inward, but they cannot just pass through Because I’m standing here... and I have work to do! (Pre-Chorus) It’s the innermost function, the secret of the One The hidden mechanism since the dawning of the sun. It takes the "Out There" and it makes it "In Here" The source of every smile, the root of every fear! (Chorus) It’s the Turning! Substance Number Six! The point where the eternal and the temporal mix. I take the movement and I bend it to my will The center of the vortex where the "I" is standing still. It’s the pivot of the spirit, the U-turn of the soul The only way the fragment can experience the whole. An absolute necessity, the heart of the design I turn the cosmic energy and make it mine! (Verse 2) Without this little "turning," there is no "you" or "me" Just a flat and hollow static on a blind and frozen sea. I am the Great Reality, the anchor in the flow I decide which way the winds of destiny will blow. I catch the light, I curve it, I send it back again In a cycle of experience, in the joy and in the pain. I’m the lens that focuses the power of the stars Into the very person that is standing behind bars... or breaking them! (Bridge) It’s indispensable! It’s undeniable! The "I" is the director, the only one reliable! Energy comes in— I give it a spin— And life begins! Again! And again! And again! (Chorus) It’s the Turning! Substance Number Six! The point where the eternal and the temporal mix. I take the movement and I bend it to my will The center of the vortex where the "I" is standing still. It’s the pivot of the spirit, the U-turn of the soul The only way the fragment can experience the whole. An absolute necessity, the heart of the design I turn the cosmic energy and make it mine! (Outro) (The rushing lights begin to swirl around the singer in a perfect circle) The movement turns... The engine burns... The "I" is here. The "I" is real. Substance Number Six. I... am... the turn!
