'Unity of Opposites' was inspired by the writings of Heraclitus and how this still relates to our current world as a seemingly universal truth. Now as then, it takes one part to define another, ugly is required to establish beauty, chaos is needed to contrast order, to have left there must be right. It can be seen in nature, physics and the minds of the masses. The rise and fall, things that are both different and yet part of the same. This can also be said of the actions we take, you can repeat it but it can never be that same action you took. You can capture a moment in a memory or by some technological means but it can only ever be a recreation when revisited. The pendulum swings back and forth, to the same place but it’s never the same motion.

Lyrics:
Vacate your mind
Diverge and then align
Vacate your mind
Errors in the record that made us divine

Facets and the faults within a name
Opposites flow within the same
A passage will change what we contain
To give and to take as we remain

The bow and the lyre in unison
The bow and the lyre sing
The gun and the bullet act as one
Shot in the dark, rings out into the void

Conscience and deed collide
Words said blood spilt for pride
Water will change
And the balance of thought must be rearranged

The bow and the lyre in unison
The bow and the lyre sing
The gun and the bullet act as one
Shot in the dark
Shot in the dark
Is it blood on your hands?
Is it blood on your hands?
Is it blood on your hands?
And in your veins

Of this Word’s being forever
Do men prove to be uncomprehending
Both before they hear, and once they have heard

Vacate your mind
Diverge and realign
Vacate your mind
Errors in the record that kept us in line

Wind and the rage the pendulum swings
The unity of opposites that it brings
The waking and the sleeping, the living dead
The young and the old, inside one head

The bow and the lyre
The bow and the lyre
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
Is it blood on your hands?
