Equilibrium

(Music written and recorded by Agrippa between 2006 and 2008)

Equilibrium was written and recorded toward the end of the period when Agrippa93 was a solo project. The song initially began it’s development in 2006 and for lack of direction was put on the shelf for 2 years until being resurrected in 2008 with new ideas. Equilibrium is part of the 2004-2008 Recording Sessions collection.

Lyrics: Like many other lyrics written by Agrippa, Equilibrium is an occult influenced song referencing the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Other songs with occult or mystical themes include City of Pyramids, Aeon Dawning, Divinity, I Invite, Evocation, Forgotten Will, Priest of Thebes, Reincarnate, and Voice From the Corner.

Lyrics written by Agrippa in 2006-2008.

Look deep in the forest

It holds wisdom not beyond you.

Stand high on the mountain

And become all that surrounds you.

Breathe in the Eastern wind

Its gift is Intuition.

Whispering sacred words

its voiced for all to listen.

You can see the fires

Bringing forth illumination

The flickering candle

Lights the mind for inspiration.

Reach into the river

Feel the ever-flowing current

Drink deep from the fountain

And taste of the ancient knowledge.

Mercy, Severity in Balance of purity

unyielding symmetry

Equilibrium

Elevate the spirit

Absorb the perfect brilliance

Be the sacred Pillars

Live the Paths and be the balance

Centering the forces

Tap the Tree and drink the essence

Connect with the current

Grip the sword and chase the serpent

Mercy, Severity in Balance of purity

unyielding symmetry

the essence the substance

stability of balance

Equilibrium, equilibrium

Mercy, Severity in Balance of purity

unyielding symmetry

Equilibrium, equilibrium

Mercy, Severity in Balance of purity

unyielding symmetry

the essence the substance

stability of balance

Equilibrium, equilibrium
