Hail to the thief

Stephen Knox 1970 (Bygland)



Why we’ve been lied to and kept in the dark.
Slaves to their purpose,  we keep jumping the shark.

They learned long ago, from all they’ve amassed.
That control of tomorrow requires erasing the past.

Looking outside for the answers you seek.
Is a program they use that is making you weak.

Finding the truth, behind all that they hide.
Is easy as vibrating higher inside.

All from within so that everything is known.
The harvest that’s granted, first needs to be sown.

Slow down your thoughts, to go deep, down within.
You’ll see something new that’s about to begin.

These photons that soon will come down from above.
Activating you with the purest of love.

Understanding that, truly, our world is a stage.
Opening your eyes to this golden new age.
