Out with the old...

 

What flick is this from?

Mostaza does not equal hero, my hero days are over, but I have many masks at my disposal...this one courtesy of my old pal and, fellow Humboldt State alumni and stellar musician, Jess Hilliard)...I will have to feature some of his music here shortly.  Anyway, the mask thing...we all wear them, some of us have a subconscious closet full and they can be used in a variety circumstances, but speaking for myself, I only show my real face to those I care about.  I just accepted a new position and will have to polish off the old work mask(s).  The one I wear most commonly, the public one, is a polite one, unless I have to change quickly to the one with a largish touch of indifference, because there is absolutely no reason to be unkind, unless I am faced with rudeness (more and more common amongst folks these days).  These days I find myself wearing the "whatever" mask more and more frequently...I have to be careful as I run the risk of forgetting what the real me looks like.  Remember that Twilight Zone with horribly accurate masks that a dying man insists that his children wear until he is dead?  I miss shows like that, meaningful and thought provoking....

Upon asking my bro Brian what was spinning on his virtual turntable, after much deliberation and heavy discussion, we came to the conclusion that it was time for some Neurosis.  I was a huge fan of the earlier stuff, while this was the transition album that spiraled them into the beast that they became and I'm assuming still are today.

Sacrifice your security

Sell your identity, integrity

Give till it hurts, give some more, give it all away

Sacrifice yourself

The choice I made is my own

In the comments on the previous video somebody suggested this tune tune as having a similar vibe.

Joe commented: "Well, that SUCKED! Thanks for nothing!!" ...the only comment I have on this CDr that I released a while back, when I posted it on fucking YT...my new moto!

I dreamed about you

I was a part of you

I was the left hand of God

Which gave mankind innocence

I was loved by you

And i said to you

Bring back the light

Brighten the heart of your bride

Babylon it's time to rise

Lucifer will bring the light

Lucifer, I cry

You asked me why i'm crying why i'm lying

I said this is not the light i'm looking for

This light leads to a dark desire

To let me fall in eternal fire

Babylon it's time to rise

Lucifer will bring the light

Lucifer, I cry

You said: don't you know it's the light God has created

Look your right hand takes what the left one leaves for it

Don't fight against what you are and always will be

This is no heresy

These hands killed without guilt

This heart burns in repentance

These hands killed without guilt

This dream is lost in repentance

Babylon it's time to rise

Lucifer will bring the light

Lucifer, I cry

Lucifer who cries

Lucifer this part dies

Lucifer this part dies

Lucifer: A star on high
