Tao Of Now Lyrics - Esthero

( saul williams featuring esthero ) 

Esthero : 

Oh ahhhh oooh 

Saul williams : 

Children of this night 

Only same will star the sky 

Only believers in death will die 

And fathers must feather the wings of women 

For the unfeathered masses dangle ridiculous 

Carrying crosses to phalayx filled tombs 

The future sails silence through blood rivered wombs 

That ripple with riddles of cows and spoons and births 

Moons and earths 

Sun-centered at noon 

Esthero : 

Now.... 

Saul williams : 

And here I stand 

Court jestering infinity 

Fetal fisted for revolution 

But open hands birth humility 

Now what you the density of an egoless planet? 

Must my spine be aligned to sprout wings? 

I'm slouched into sling steps and kangoled with gang reps 

But my orbit rainbows saturn rings 

Mystical eliptical 

Presto polaris 

Karmic flamed future when saturns and aries 

And not I'm a fish called father 

With gills type dizzy 

Blowing liquid lullabies through the spine of time 

I'm certain of saturns rivers and all esle is fact 

So baptise me in the stars 

And wrap me in nighttime 

Moon blue 

Pupil my sight with orange balls of light 

And echo my plight 

Through the corridors of metaphor 

What else are we living for if not to create 

Fiction and rhyme? 

My purpose is to make my soul 

Rhyme with my mind 

Mind over matter 

Minds create matter 

Minds create fiction 

As a matter of fact 

As if matter were fact 

Matter is fact 

So spirit much be fiction 

Science fiction 

Art fiction meta fiction 

Esthero : 

Now 

Saul williams : 

The tao of now 

Is here amongst the living in the voice of children is the tao of now 

Esthero : 

You are the divine reflection of this earth 

She does not belong to you 

No there is no need for your correction 

All run in the same rivers 

Saul williams : 

All rivers run in the same direction 

If you're serving the father theres no sun w/o matter 

Parent bodies discover water 

Bodies and drown 

Wade me in the water 

'til atlantis is found 

On the sea floors of self 

I'm starfish and unbound 

Heard the way of that mound is stone mountain 

Underwater volcanoes erupt water fountains of youth 

Test this carnal equation cancel out wind and truth 

Swirl me beyond sometimes 

Drench me water proof 

Let eve drop forever rain 

Sunsets on my roof 

As I sit on the front porch of my sanity 

Deciphering hambones to van gogh this vanity 

Oiled egos 

Canvased and framed 

To be reborn unborn unburied unnamed 

A reflection through a blood stained glass window 

Or souls 

Esthero : 

There is a monster living 

It's the voice of children 

It is the tao of now 

Saul williams : 

Gone yellow round the edges 

Carbonated dreams and blurred daily lives 

But let family bring focus 

Out of swamps blossom lotus 

The muddy water blue daughter of infinity 

Gravity we water bodied bhodisativas our serenity 

As we rise with the tides toward divinity 

Esthero : 

Now... 

There is a monster living it's in the voice of children 

It is the tao of now 

Saul williams : 

Yes we rise with the tides towards divinity 

The muddy water blue daughter of infinity 

Gravity we water bodied bhodisativas our serenity 

As we rise with the tides toward divinity.... 

Yes we rise with the tides towards diviinty 

Now we rise with the tides towards divinity 

'cause we rise with the tides towards divinity 

Esthero : 

Now... 

Saul williams : 

The tao of now 

Is here amongst the living in the voice of children is the tao of now 

Esthero : 

There is a monster living it's in the voice of children 

It is the tao of now
