Ode to Abraxas - original music video

"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wants to be born must destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas" - Hermann Hesse, Demian

i met the Devil in my dreams
he was more or less than what he seemed
he was more or less the same as me
he was more or less brought up on greed.
he is more or less a man i know.
he is more or less inside us all.
he taught me how to shrink, he taught me how to grow
and that's the day i lost my soul

i met God inside my dreams
he was more or less than what he seemed
he was more or less the same as me
he was more or less brought up on greed.
he is more or less a man i know.
he is more or less inside us all.
he taught me how to shrink, he taught me how to grow
and that's the day i lost my soul

i got my soul back in the trees.
it was more or less just like a dream
it made me into what you see
it made me forget all my greed
the trees are all like men i know
every one of them have souls
i sat in the trees and i faced the facts
thats how i got my soul back.

Kickass song, do you have an mp3 version I could download somewhere? Also, like the subject. Have you ever read Demian by Herman Hess? Not sure if that's the book the commenter before me was referring to, but it's a great one.

Weird music, but I like it.

Great lyrics.

And the book is awesome, something to live by.

I really want to learn more about Abraxas, but I'm finding it difficult, even after reading seven sermons to the dead.

sweet, thanks. you're now on my itunes. oh yeah man, if you have a chance could you check out the Worry Not video on my page?

It's a slideshow to a song that I wrote and my friends and I played the music to; it's about the medical industry.

I'm new to youtube and new to video/slideshow making so I could use some pointers if you have a chance.
