Cynic:"Veil of maya", (from the album "Focus", 1993):
In maya´s grip illusion transforms verity
perceiving thus a delusive world of
duality
veil of maya
balance every joy with a grief
dual scales of maya
earth´s unending law of polarity
ahamkara...veil of maya
illusion works impenetrable
weaving webs innumerable
her gay pictures never fail
crowd each other veil on veil
charmer who will be believed
by man who thirsts to be deceived
maya subjects you
veil of maya
chops and divides god´s dream thoughts
the great divider
as we be subject to likes and disgust
ahamkara...veil of maya
maya subjects you
charmer who will be believed
by man who thirsts to be deceived
veil of maya
balance every joy with a grief
dual scales of maya
earth´s unending law of polarity
veil of maya
chops and divides god´s dream thoughts
the great divider
as we be subject to likes and disgust
ahamkara...veil of maya

(My dad loves jazz and don´t ask me why....ha ha...., but when jazz is combined with death metal like on Cynic´s debut-album "Focus", released in 1993, I suppose it´s alright!
There are a lot of classic albums put out from the floridian death metal-scene back in the late eighties/early nineties, and "Focus" is absolutely one of them, with its great combination of technical death metal and....well....jazz :-) (Despite the fact, that the album is not THAT death metal!). But "Focus" simply took the well-known death metal-genre a step or two further....
There are some damn good songs to find here, but the opener "Veil of maya" will in my opinion allways go as the ultimate "Focus"-winner :-)
Kind regards
Carsten
