Too Clever To Believe

-

“Too Clever to Believe” is a powerful metal track that draws from Rabbi Nachman’s tale of the Clever One and the Simple One. It contrasts intellectual pride with humble faith, questioning the limits of reason when it blinds us to truth. With poetic verses and a provocative chorus, the song reveals that wisdom without heart is hollow—and that sometimes the one who believes is the one who truly sees. Set against mystical soundscapes and pounding riffs, it’s both a cautionary tale and a cry for spiritual clarity in a world ruled by cleverness.

Lyrics

He studied the stars, the crafts, the scrolls
Measured the world, mapped all its folds
Truth was logic, cold and clean
But nothing filled the space between

His brother laughed with patched-up shoes
Sang songs of praise, had nothing to prove
He kissed the bread, he blessed the rain
Foolish, maybe—but whole, not vain

🎶 Too clever to believe, too wise to see the light
You built your throne on reason, but you can’t sleep at night
The simple one just smiled, though the world called him a fool
He found a joy no cleverness could ever overrule 🎶

One climbed ladders made of gold
One stayed home, with stories old
The clever scoffed, "He’s lost his mind!"
But peace, not pride, is hard to find

When darkness comes and doubts arise
Will brilliance calm the sleepless cries?
One prays with tears, one mocks the flame—
Yet both hearts call the same Name

🎶 Too clever to believe, too wise to see the light
You built your throne on reason, but you can’t sleep at night
The simple one just smiled, though the world called him a fool
He found a joy no cleverness could ever overrule 🎶

The king may ask who wore the crown
But Heaven sees whose knees were down
Not all who laugh are truly wise—
Sometimes the fool is the one who flies

Beyond the Veil

"Beyond the Veil" is a philosophical metal ballad that explores the timeless question of life before and after birth. Inspired by the parable often attributed to Dr. Wayne Dyer, the song imagines two unborn twins questioning the meaning of existence, purpose, and what lies beyond the womb. Through poetic lyrics, intense melodies, and spiritual undertones, the track becomes a powerful metaphor for faith, mystery, and awakening. Anchored by a haunting chorus, it serves as both a meditation and a rallying cry to believe in something beyond what the eyes can see—a hidden realm where souls are born and return. Lyrics In a chamber soft and dark, we float in thought unknown Two hearts beat in silence, yet we are not alone You say, “This life is all we know, no sky, no greater light” But I can feel the rhythm of something out of sight "You speak of breath and sunlight, of lands beyond the tide But have you seen this mother, this world you claim will rise?...

"Covered and Free" is a soul-stirring, emotionally charged metal song inspired by Psalm 32. This song explores the inner battle between guilt and grace, the torment of hidden sin, and the spiritual liberation that follows honest confession. With haunting verses and a triumphant chorus, it journeys from silence and sorrow to the joy of divine forgiveness. Fusing melodic metal with ambient textures, it echoes the soul's longing for healing and the fierce relief of being known and still embraced. This is a song of truth, vulnerability, and victory over darkness. Lyrics Blessed is the soul whose sin is gone, Whose guilt is lifted like the dawn. I kept it in, I hid my face, But silence turned my bones to waste. Day and night Your hand was strong, I felt the heat, I knew the wrong. But then I spoke, I named my shame, And mercy met me in Your name. I confessed, and You forgave, You pulled me up from my silent grave. No flood will drown, no storm will break,...
