(Octavius Roy Orozco dies in the aftermath)
[Morning prayer - facing East]
Formless, formless
Formless, formless
No arms, no legs
No torso, no head
Formless, formless
Formless, formless
No arms, no legs
No torso… appendages
Formless, formless
No torso… appendages
LANIAKEA
This is my theme song
Laniakea, King Kong
Single with a ring on
They call me a King, God
I am a King on
Top of the mountain top
I can see the promised land
And I got a plan
Shrooms and acid
Nah this isn't practice
Making records, playing shows
Getting my ass kissed
The Idea is happening
Into an actual thing '
I always wanted to rap and sing
So please enjoy the show!!
"And then I remembered
I made memories, memories
I formed, finally
And then I breathe, then I see
Black and white then
Red and yellow came to be
Reaching out to me
In my infancy"
Sit down! Enjoy the show!
Some will stay! Some will go!
All I know is I don't know!
As above! So below!
(Regret - The Motive)
I been so certain for so long… I've always wanted to do this
I don't know, sometimes I feel like maybe it's stupid doin' music
But honestly.. If I'm being honest… it gets old, man
Gotta change shit up sometimes cause
Maybe this whole time I ain't been right
Ain't been right… ain't been right
Maybe this whole time I ain't been right
Ain't been right… never been right
Cause maybe...
We have become our own enemy
Who am I? I don't know, who are we
There is a price to pay to be
Free to float away and see that
"And then I remembered
I made memories, memories
I formed, finally
And then I breathe, then I see
Black and white then
Red and yellow came to be
Reaching out to me
In my infancy"

Deliverance

I didn't wake in the morning
I was just sitting there, lying there, sitting
Crooked frame didn't fit, didn't fit, didn't
Nothing I didn't, didn't do nothing
Sentimental never, sentences never didn't finish
I sat there waiting, waiting, trying not to sleep, praying
For the rain to fall slowly
Sent a letter to the night never heard back
Left me sitting there, lying there, sitting
So long, so long
No going back, no gone, no God
Said my prayer
I am here
I am here
I am here
[breathe in, call out]
I'll find my way out of here
Crooked frame closing in
I feel pressure, head hurts...
This is how it feels alone
This is how it feels alone
I feel pressure, head hurts...
Said my prayer
I am here
I am here
I am here
This is how it feels alone
This is how it feels alone
I feel pressure, head hurts...
I was meant to break
I was meant to fall
I was dying there, lying there, dying
Breathing, at least trying to stay alive and
I wasn't ready to say bye yet, not quite
Didn't feel like it was the greatest timing
But that tiny little light stayed bright, shining
Demons singing hymnals… Angels weep, crying
I never bowed to no tyrant
I stood by the river defiant screaming
"I have arrived… I was alive!!"
I'll find my way out of here
Crooked frame closing in
I feel pressure, head hurts...
This is how it feels alone
This is how it feels alone
I feel pressure, head hurts...
Said my prayer
I am here
I am here
I am here
This is how it feels alone
This is how it feels alone
I feel pressure, head hurts...

Judgment
03:15
|

And she said
"I miss you when you're gone
Why you go away
I thought this wouldn't last long
But now you go away
This was our time alone
Alone with you I stay..."
Ayyy ayyy
And so she waited on
My return I'd make
Never came back home
Home is far away
Life is the trip, death is home
Almost died, left alone
If the tumor comes back, I don't know
That's all I'll know forever, nothing
Then suddenly I heard music
Moon out and under me I felt movement
I said "come out from under there, let's do this
Make room 'less you tryin to see how a noose fits
I don't give a fuck, man I'm ruthless!
Bloody broken bones 'til you're toothless
I don't care who wins but you'll lose this!"
Took one strike at me… I fell
The Knell rang from the other side of the river
Mostly bones and rotting corpses, bodies littered
Like fucking garbage, horrid
A place where the living leave and
Dead men arrive
I have arrived
I was alive
I have arrived
I was alive
I have arrived
I was alive
Minute by minute we let the day go
Lying there dying so we sang song
So many wait but what they wait for?
The river dry until the rain come
Minute by minute we let the day go
Lying there dying so we sang song
So many wait but what they wait for?
The river dry until the rain come
Minute by minute we let the day go
So many wait but what they wait for?
Lying there dying so we sang song
The river dry until the rain come
Judgement day has come
Mountain pink, sky grey
Judgement didn't take long
Had a lot to say
And so she waited on
My return I'd make
Never came back home
Home is far away
I have arrived
I was alive
I have arrived
I was alive

Blue suede
All on my feet I got blue suede
Weightless floating through a dream
Alone at last with my boo thing
Hot like blue flame
She said "I been meaning to say this to you but
I love you baby"
Weightless floating through a dream
Forever like Wu Tang
La dada da da da dada
Do you wanna ride or die?
Da da dada da da
The day I died I wore blue suede...
I never thought this day would come
Everything under the Sun
Will wither away when I'm done
That's why there's a .38 on my waist
Shades on my face, spliff by my gums
Pack of cigs, pack of tums
Some will stay, some will run
Some will do, some are done
I never never stop
I never wanted the top but
Put my feet upon the rocks
Pulled myself up by my socks
Vertical 180 degrees
Lost the cartilage in my knees
To get where I'm at you need
To feel nothing at all when you bleed
Real talk
Honestly don't really feel ya'll
I'm boutta reveal God
Pearly gates won't be sealed off
My orders came from above
And everything under the Sun
Will wither away when I'm done
I never thought this day would come...
"Do you wanna ride or die?"

This is a revolution…
I said
"Don't leave me here for dead.
Crooked frame was better than this
Shit I miss my hospital bed.
I'm worth much more with blood
flowing through my chest I hope it'll rise again.
No I don't wanna fight my way out of here
Please just let me live instead."
I said
"Hold on dead preacher
Skeleton man
Let me swim back to where I came from
Please take my hand."
He said
"Take me granted
You've done it before.
You knew that there was no going back
When you washed up on that shore.
So you gotta fight
Make things right
You gotta dance with death tonight
And see the light."
I looked upon him
Dead-set eyes
I knew that one day I would die someday
But not this time!
No!
Not this time…
She said
"Don't leave him here for dead.
I'll straighten out this crooked frame
He never liked this hospital bed.
Hold on dear healer,
Medicine man,
Let me take him back to where he came from
You've done all you can."
He said
"He takes you for granted
But I bet you've heard that before
This isn't a prison; do what you need to do
And walk out that door.
But let me tell you…
you gotta fight
All through the night
You gotta guide him through this darkness
Make him see the light."
She looked upon him
Tears in her eyes
She knew that someday I would die
But not this time!
No!
She brought me a mocha… begged me to wake up.
Ooo that sweet, sweet taste…
Nothing like it.
Life is the trip, death is home
'Bout to die… fuck you all
I killed the preacher, broke his bones
If I die I won't die alone
Imma take at least a few of you with me
They put my chances at less than fifty
Ha! I've beat worse
I won't be laid to rest in some cheap hearse
Don't call it a comeback I planned this all
I'm already dead so I cannot fall
When I get out of this place man I'll run shit
Da Don DaDa ain't nothing to fuck with
Life is the trip, death is home
And I'm never going back I don't plan to die
I am the land, the sea, and the sky
As above, so below… as am I
This is where
I belong
Far far far
Away from home
If I die
I won't die alone
I will wait
Until the Sun explodes
This is where
I belong
Far far far
Away from home
If I die
I won't die alone
We're too late
Judgment day has come

Sentimental
Letter that I wrote was sentimental
But I was unsettled by it
Stomach couldn't keep quiet
Lying
Tell the truth for once
Do it while you're busy dying
I am finally letting go
Heart race, sweating slow
Let's see how far we can go!
Far, far away home
"I…
I would've tried to fight
I would've done anything"
Said a letter to the night
"I…
I would've tried to fight
I would've done anything"
Said a letter to the night
Cowardice
I float away when I'm powerless
Doesn't matter what the hour is
First sign of trouble, man, I'm out of this
They eat cake while I pound my fist
We had stairs where I'm from
But more blank stares than one
Strangers to the Sun
First time we met I looked the other way
I don't know, scared probably but
They say you look too long
Your eyes fall out
Calling out
Lost my phone
Part of myself
Part of home
All is all
All alone
August died well
Flesh and bone
Smell of rotting corpse… looking at nothing in the eyes
God. I guess there's something to it after all
"I…
I would've tried to fight
I would've done anything"
Said a letter to the night...
"I…
I would've tried to fight
I would've done anything"
Said a letter to the night...

Euphoria
04:58
|

Final thoughts…
There I was...
There I was...
Cold...
Alone…
Yelling with myself...
Which foot first?
"Take a step."
I swear I did I swear
I swear I did I swear
Because there's not no reason
Reach out
Extend myself like Regent
I can't share my secrets
But I can definitely share my demons
Even the odd ones... believe me.
Lying there, dying, 'til I'm seasick
Suddenly sunken thousands of feet…
The depths.
Descending into euphoria until I rest
After this I'll never sleep until death
Pull me apart.
Flesh scattered in the water: the dark.
Lack of light.
Crush my heart.
Hope to die.
Surrounded by loved ones
Saw them cry.
Talked with Gabriel; asked him why
I...
committed the ultimate sacrifice
He said
"As above, so below… as am I"
And I fell right there
I swear I did I swear
Crush my heart
Hope to die
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
Hanging on
Only life
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
Crush my heart
Hope to die
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
Hanging on
No more life
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
All I could see were silhouettes of the rocks below me.
Above me: only darkness.
And as I stood on that ledge...
Millions of years passed by me in an instant.
Everything I know died long ago.
And in that instant: two decisions were made at the same time.
As above, so below: as am I.
But only one of those decisions were mine!
And I screamed at the sky:
"I will raise my hand one inch more!
I will make my stand all alone!"
"I will raise my hand one inch more!
I will make my stand all alone!"
Final thoughts...
I thought I'd mention.
I didn't want to be remembered.
Still don't.
Thankfully, that wish will come true for all of us.
When the Sun explodes.
Water all around me…
[Octavius Roy Orozco wakes up.
A cacophony of medical machines.
The Priestess is by his side.
Her warmth fills him.
What lay before her was someone she hadn't yet met.
She had summoned the Third Imitation of the Baphomet.
Roy goes to sleep.
His dreams sing to him.]
I will raise my hand one inch more.
I will make my stand all alone.
I will raise my hand one inch more.
I will make my stand all alone.

Ladies and gentlemen...
I'd like to welcome you… to the end
This is the final part of the first ACT
I'm glad you stuck around… This
has been a journey for all of us
A journey that has just begun…
May it never stop
and once again
Thank you
You could've been anywhere else in the World
Listened to anybody else…
but you decided to listen to Roy
And I'm grateful for that....
Big shoutout to Jay Battle for making us sound great
Thank you to Benji for making us look good
We got Riley Merlino on the guitar
Jins Palace on the keys
Thank you and good night…
Ape on a dot…
[Evening prayer - facing West]
I did what I had to do… oh
I don't like I what I did
but I don't live with regret
Don't wanna live with regret
If not me someone else would
I've already died I don't fear death
I've seen her in the flesh
Float towards the sun then explode
Life is the trip and we are just guests
Our only home is death
No arms, no legs, no torso
No no no nothing… formless
Formless
I did what I had to do… oh
I don't like I what I did
but I don't live with regret
Don't wanna live with regret
If not me someone else would
I've already died I don't fear death
I've seen her in the flesh
Float towards the sun then explode
Life is the trip and we are just guests
Our only home is death
No arms, no legs, no torso
No no no nothing… formless
[Roy has awakened from a near-death experience.
He bore witness to the Tribunal's stirring vision.
The first face he sees is the Priestess.
He has forgotten her name in his nightmare
But now knows he can trust her with his life.
Whatever he was before might as well have been another life...
And it was.
The hospital room and his crooked bedframe come into view.
Light fills his eyes like water in a sinking ship.
"Roy..." the Priestess whispers.
He can only grunt slightly but it is understood by all.
Relief.
To face death and survive - his vision was prophetical...
So he was told.
The Tribunal told him of this very vision and here he lay.
A witness who would now give testimony to everyone that would hear him.
A stirring of religious emotions;
His new found faith in the Tribunal's plan for him.
All of what has happened to him makes sense now.
Finally.
Roy is the Third Imitation -
- a living testament to the Tribunal's foresight and wisdom.
He has arrived. He is alive.]
