I went off the idea of the video with Chris and Spencer and decided it would sound even cooler with Chris and Jake instead. I had to pitch shift the version w/ Jake down a half step because apparently it was originally higher than it is now.
For those of you who don't know, Chris Barretto was Periphery's 3rd singer, aka the "afro" dude, and he's currently in the band Friend For A Foe:

Jake Veredika was Periphery's first singer, and he's currently doing... something. Somewhere.

Jake's lyrics:
Trotting barefoot, I felt Christ-like.
Except I left all the miracles and shit
in the hindsight.
At the moment, I was only my power and will.
A reflective circuit so clear
to illuminate the here and the now of my surroundings.
Can they show me all the signs that I need?
Willing and vulnerable this approach.
Attempting to be timid , but I'm soaked in visions.
All laws of interpretation disapply.
And I behold all I've known is wrong.
It's not the path less travelled,
just the path most failed upon.
Yet I'm here and I walk.
Till the end of my thoughts,
where I'll caress the keys to my means.
And helm the epic sight of god.
So
Put a little trample in your stride.
Walk with me.
Embrace the knowledge of how the end
is necessary.
Revel in the ability to forecast chaos.
And kill the variables right at the source.
I see dates, I see times, places and lives.
I scowl at the bigger picture.
The ongoing pattern of impatterns.
So ugly. So ineffectual to me.
I must do away.
I will do away.
Black holes converge,
to turn space inside out,
to flatten all dimensions,
to eat the light out of stars,
to cause the miscarriage
of our cosmic process,
to utterly refuse
this value of life,
and eject the universe.
Revel in the ability to forecast chaos.
And kill the variables right at the source.
I see dates, I see times, places and lives.
I slaughter the bigger picture.
When there is nothing to see,
then you see everything
The end is necessary.
