gio ra (pyramid mission) - perfect air lyrics

[overture]

in an abstract place and a distant time…
sankhara is haunted by the sound of howling…

“you feel it… don’t you?
all of this is a lie
meaningless static, sp+wned only to be swallowed by the winds
sankhara… there is only one way out
you must taste… perfect air

[aria: dark night of the soul]

none of this is real
oh, it seems the air is all fake
i feel it in my mind, taking its toll
and i hear the howling
ripping through this dark night of the soul
oh, and i don’t
know how long this form will hold
decay will have its way
with everything in this world

lies and repetition
i petition, this position
so my mission
is to find what is reality
oh, i need to see
what is true and what’s fantasy?
[aria: perfect air]

hear my prayer for perfect air
oh, crystal moon… won’t you show me what to do?
all i need is truth, and so i declare
i will search for pеrfect air

[crystal moon vision]

sankhara, heed these words closеly
only the ‘tower to the skies’ rises above the lies
if your aching heart beats for perfect air
then with resolute valiance, conduct your crusade up there
but until tomorrow, take rest
tower to the skies
(the dawn of a new day)

upward i climb
only one thing resides in my mind
cracks in the sky
that i must see through
(i dream of perfect air, i dream of perfect air)
and though i can barely breathe up here, i will rage on
till what i am drawn to, dawns upon me
it’s time that i climb
i climb
i climb
top of the tower, hidden beyond the skies
all i spy is noisy impermanence
but i will not yield to despair
i still search for perfect air

[towertop vision]

sankhara, do not let your countenance fall on this auspicious occasion
for you have borne witness to the impermanence of all things
although this invaluable wisdom may weigh on your mind
you are now equipped to advance… to ‘the reflection pool’

[reflection pool]
(the dawn of a new day)

at last, perfect air
oh, how sweet it should be to breathe?
but why do i have doubts?
i’m afraid, but i will figure this out

i wonder what they all see…

visions of desire
visions of hatred
visions of confusion
they are all suffering
the air which i covet is not here
the truth remains covered, but now i fear
what i seek may not exist
with dread, i tread down there
i still search for perfect air

[the void]

greetings, lamb of the light… welcome to the void
mere words cannot grasp this all+consuming darkness
if you dare strive to fathom this abyss
then… you must become one with the howling

(wordless aria)

[final vision]

it’s all so clear now
there is no separation between myself and the howling
all these different forms arise and pass away in endless flux
and i only suffer because i long for certain forms and fear others
i will accept this world as it is

but then… my search for perfect air is…
…yes, i finally understand

[perfect air (reprise)]

i don’t dare dream of perfect air
my journey concludes, and so i love this world anew
now i see the truth, and so i declare:
every breath is perfect air
