about

Blake believed that individuals must find their own way; create & follow their own ’System’…
“I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.”
Our lives need to be perpetually in movement and pursuit of change lest they fall into stagnation and submission. “Expect poison from the standing water”. If Urizen is ‘your reason’ and Orc the rebellious youthful spirit, the two are in a creative tension, but the synthesis of this conflict is Orc’s transformation to Luvah – The Rebel quality transmuted to Love... “it is only when Urizen stops fighting Orc that Orc is able to become Luvah”.

lyrics

Fashion your own System
We all need systems of our own
Refuse to be the Victim
Your Freedom lies in you Alone

Find your own direction
There’s no director for your role
Make your own connections
What you make projects your very soul

It’s hard to stop Creation when
God’s Fire takes shape in Common Men
When inspiration burns the pen
There’s nothing left that’s Common then

(Chorus)
Rise from dark memories
Ascend to the Future
Doctrines prove false suitors
Let your own Hope be your guiding tutor

Shape your own opinions
From all the Beauty you can see
Shun the role of minion
Your only duty’s to be free

Change your old decisions
The ones that made you custom’s serf
Make your Life Re-vision
Regain the ecstasy of Earth

Imagined Nation of Our Self
Images of Common Wealth
Make sublime the Human Face
We make a home of Time and Space

(Chorus)
Rise from dark memories
Ascend to the Future
Doctrines prove false suitors
Let your own Hope be your guiding tutor

Take your own existence
Go forth and lovingly embrace
The path of most resistance
Re-join one wholly human race

Grasp your so sweet essence
In your immortal hand or eye
Trust in your own prescience
Unbending Law is just One Lie

Surrender not to others’ isms
Rule-defined in mental prisons
Freedom cometh only when
We know we won’t get fooled again

(Chorus)
Rise from dark memories
Ascend to the Future
Doctrines prove false suitors
Let your own Hope be your guiding tutor
