Oh Hello
Welcome to CIEIR Music.
We are Light Harmony and if you are listening to this you're in luck.
Because this is the intro to the album of our lessons.
In it we will teach you the lessons to help you overcome the obstacles life has to offer.
However do not use this as an alternative to education. Just an addition.
Academics is just as important as these and if you want to get in life better keep your schooling up.
Don't fall behind for these tracks.
In this album we will give you the first lessons you must learn to take control of your life if you wish to make it.
Through by the skin of your teeth. But we understand if you don't trust our word.
After all how can we both relate to you?
Just like you we didn't start out, just knowing how to sing and make music. We have our fair share of hardships that seem to bring out the worst in us no matter what.
We were but poor urchins who only had us to survive this harsh crool world.
We try to stay out of trouble, setting examples for other urchins, but trouble usually finds us.
In the form of thieves and crooks you'd think Bill Sikes trained. We took care of them our own way.
Beating them all with our bare hands and feet.
But it wasn't long until our own luck ran out, we were cornered by cop and crook alike.
We thought we were gonna go out for good until a mysterious man showed up to our rescue.
They ran away really fast. Bastard Cowards.
The man was named. S.T. Musician of CIEIR Music. He took us in, fed us, gave us shelter, but most importantly trained us for his cause.
He saw our potential as singers and decided to make us into great warrior monks.
He changed our lives for the better and in turn we help him try to change the world for just the same.
These lessons being one of many ways we do so. Listen close and listen well and add your own thing to it.
We know you'll be ok. Yes. Ohm.

Life

We have come back to teach you lessons in order for you to
Survive through all the perils of this world you now currently live in.
This is lesson one it is all about how to deal with all the ups and downs
life will throw at you unless you break this damn cycle.
Life is an infinite cycle of anger and depression preventing you from
achieving true happiness that you deserve.
In order to break this cycle, you must listen carefully.
We will only say this to you once so pay close attention to us now.
Stick to your morals, but don't expect others to abide them.
They'll even use yours to capitalize on their own sick fuck ends.
If you can't fight directly then try to work around them without
them knowing you're on to them. Then when it's time you slide the knife in.
Treat every good day like it's your last, because they don't stay long.
Otherwise every bad day will come as an unwelcome surprise to you.
There are forces out there that can control how bad your luck is.
Watch out for them, because they could strike you at any moment now.
Always be kind, but do not be a pushover. There's so much you can do,
until you've realize you've been had. Not long until you snap.
Take what you can get and try to use it to gain so much more.
Do not get greedy or you will lose everything you have/will gain.
Don't lose hope if some things don't turn out your way on the first try.
You can always try again and maybe you will get it better then.
Always help innocent people you will get help in return.
How you will know is up to you, but we have faith you'll make the right choice.
Try to gain followers to your causes so you will not be alone.
It doesn't matter if they share your views as long as their heart is true.
Make sure trust between you and them is mutual or it won't work.
Once it does then you will be a great force to be reckoned with now.
Take these lessons to heart and try your best to follow them so well.
Because they may save your life and help you save the life of others.
They will be your guide, but it is up to you on how to use them.
Make every move your own using this as the foundation for them.
Listen Close. Life Can Hurt. Don't let it. Make it good.
Now.

Faith
03:20
|

Lesson two is all about the different ways one can have faith.
There are many kinds of faiths out there it's up to you to decide.
There's faith in gods and faith in other people and very much more.
Most important, the best faith at all is having great faith in you.
Most deny it, but faith does factor in every decision you make.
What you put out there in the world will soon come back to you now.
There will be times when it seems your faith was now just all for nothing.
Don't take it as a sign that it's not working, just be patient.
Belief is a strong power and it can change the world if you want to.
Don't just listen to your head, your heart is just as conscious to you.
Whether it's faith in something most believe isn't real to you or me.
Or faith that your friends and your loved ones have your back no matter.
Or faith in a cause you believe is the key to changing the world.
Don't give up yours, but don't encourage others to give up theirs.
Take this lesson to your heart and it may get you through the bad times now.
Don't let the bad side of your life hinder or destroy your faith too.
Fight tooth and nail to ward off any doubts setting your mind at ease.
Never let someone tell you your faith is wrong since you don't say the same.
We hope you enjoyed this lesson. Maybe you just learned something new.
Take what you've learned and add your own spin on it and you'll be fine.
Yes.

Deception
08:20

Lesson 3. Deception. Beware if things aren't what they seem.
Sometimes they're too good to be true.
If things seem. Too funny.
Chances are you are being lied to now.
By those you think were your friends. Yes.
Eyes open. Look around.
Anyone of them could stab you in the back at almost anytime.
Be careful. Stay sharper.
That does not mean you can't trust everyone, just who you think lied to you. No.
Trust loved ones. And your bonds.
Be wary of those that offer you chance to fame and fortune.
They lie.
Watch your back. Guard your front.
When you get the chance knock them to the ground.
They do not care about you.
Now. Listen close.
Sometimes they mix lies with the truth to confuse you.
Do not let them get to your head.
They should not. Fuck with you.
They should fear you more than you fear them. They are cowards to you.
Fuck them. All.
Listen good. Learn this well.
Never let anyone deceive you to their ends. You are your own self.
Time to go. You're ready.
This lesson is now over and you must add your own to it now go.
Now.

Doubt
05:36
|
|||
|
Lesson 4 is one big doozy.
This one may confuse you at first.
Because it is all about the
good and bad ways to use your doubt.
This may sound like it is crazy.
But there is room enough both ways.
Pay attention and you will know.
What is it and how to use it.
Self doubt is something that will kill you.
By repressing your true self.
Saying you can't do this is something you should not say to yourself.
Reasonable doubt is the key to possibly saving some lives.
This one has been overlooked too many times so do not waste it.
Doubt leading to suspicion is your gut instinct telling you.
Not all is right in what you see and hear so you must now question it.
Skeptical Doubt can be good and bad depending how you use it.
Questioning things is ok so long it will do more good than harm.
Using lies in the form of doubt just shows you really do not care.
You're just using it to feel you're on the high ground, but you will fall.
Doubt in others may seem like you are concerned about them.
But sometimes it makes them feel like you really had no real faith in their skills.
However be it good or bad, you must not overuse your doubt.
Sometimes what you doubt may seem right other times it may just be wrong.
As a result you could either get in good with those that trust you.
Other times it makes you look so fucking stupid and not worth it.
Now you're probably wondering when it's a good time to use it.
The answer is very simple pay attention and you will know.
Much like all the other lessons, you must add things that are your own.
We doubt it is very hard to figure out it is up to you.
The best way to know is to take a look at a situation.
Imagine how it must look if you're the one currently involved.
If you feel something is not right, don't be afraid to express it.
If you're just letting air out at nothing then it's not that valid.
Do not worry and do not stress, it can be a hard lesson learned.
But we don't doubt you will figure the rest out all on your own terms.
This lesson is now over. You must now go out and go test it.
Let us know if you did right or wrong in expressing your own doubts.
Go.

Nostalgia
08:40
|

Nostalgia Memories of what came before.
Nostalgia Things in our past we remember.
Nostalgia Media that came from ago.
Nostalgia Feelings that we cannot let go.
Movies, books, Cartoons, TV Shows and Video Games.
History and Mythologic views on how we
view what caused life and who we should give credit to.
But things aren't always how we all view them.
Past to us varies between us. What we like others may hate.
And that's just one part of meaning.
There is more to it than simply texts and screens.
There are million things that can be nostalgic.
Here we go.
Memories of people from our past that we lost.
Be it celebrities or even your close loved ones.
Most have fond feelings of them regardless if they know.
Them personally or just watch them on screen.
Others look too much into their histories.
Some find good things others find things they shouldn't see.
Controversy can go a long way because of this.
Not even death can make them live it right down.
Some should know it. Others should not.
But all are important knowledge.
Impacting our minds and our hearts forever now.
It's time for the most complex part.
Get ready now it's almost time.
3 2 1 go.
Whether it's media or just people we know.
Whether we like them alot or hate their own guts.
One thing that we all have so much in common is.
That when they're gone they spark new feelings within us.
Some will be sad at losing them forever now.
Others will laugh, glad that they are rid of it now.
Some just won't care they just shrug and walk right away.
But their absence has impacted us many ways.
Some can let go easier than others who hold on forever.
How you view it is up to you. You are your own person.
Fuck anyone who wants you to conform to their way now.
Don't you let them.
Some have warped view of their nostalgic memories.
Believing that's how real life has always been now.
Even if things weren't like how they remember them.
They stick to it, lashing out on those who don't see.
Some can be persuaded to realize it is wrong.
Others retreat into their own world moving on.
But there are some who try to make the best out of
Both sides rejecting anything negative now.
Some shows and people have influence.
Be it good or bad to us.
We take what we learn and apply it to.
Our own lives for better or for worse.
The lesson is almost over.
Here we go now.
Take what you've learned. Apply it to your own real life.
We have great faith, that you will get through this alright.
And we will be watching to make sure you don't fall.
We will catch you before you even hit the ground.
Light Harmony will always be around for you.
We won't give up until there is just peace for you.
Who knows maybe in a few years we may just be
Nostalgic to you and everyone we just helped.
Come with us and you will see
the beauty of this world we live on.
We will guide you, we will teach you.
Everything that we have been taught if it helps you survive this world.
One more time now 3 2 1 go.
Nostalgia some of it's good, some of it's bad.
Nostalgia impacts the world we live in now.
Nostalgia influences our decisions.
Nostalgia gives us many complex feelings.
Whether it's our loved or hated media piece
Or people in our past we know or just know of.
Or people with their warped view of Nostalgia.
All are important aspects of it we should know.
The lesson is now just over.
Go straight home and take your rest Now.
You will need it for the final lesson of this album.
It's gonna be a doozy. But for now go straight home and Rest.
Goodnight for now.

Death
06:44
|

|
Let's talk about Death. Don't Run.
I know you are scared. Don't. Be.
Death's apart of life. Oh. Yes.
This lesson is important to you.
Now get ready. It's Time. Now.
Death seems sometimes cruel. Unfair.
Taking our loved ones. Why there?
Leaving kids orphans. Poor things.
And that's not starting on how some die.
Not all are peace. No Way. But.
It's not personal. No. Joke.
It is just their job. Please Hear.
Death is not as bad. You think.
Depending on your life before meeting death.
They judge. You here. Now.
If you're bad in life. You're fucked.
Death may take no sides. In things.
Doesn't mean it has. No Say.
On where you should go. Here. There.
But since you did wrong you go to hell.
Death is kinder to. Good Ghosts.
How they come is moot. Death Smiles.
Greeting you warmly. Old Friend.
Making sure that your death doesn't shock or scare you.
Relax. You're safe.
Unpredictable. Death is.
How you die random. It sucks.
Many ways to die. Pick one.
Murder, diseases, accidents, sometimes old age.
So much. A lot.
But the good news is. Worth It.
When it's over there's. No Fear.
Even better news. Please Hear.
New life takes your place and tries to get through it.
Just like you. That's right.
Now that you know it. Take heed.
Show Death some respect. It needs.
Cooperation. From you.
When it's time to go don't fight it, just embrace it. Like new. Good now.
Live life to fullest. For now.
Treat each day like it's. Your Last.
You never know when death comes.
But when it does, do not be afraid.
Just let it embrace you tight.
Lesson is over. Learn well.
Add your spin on it. You can.
Number almost up. Tick Tock.
Death comes in many forms, hope we are not one of them. Goodbye. Friends.
OHHHHHHHHHH!!

Epilogue
02:24
|

|
Hello. This is S.T. Musician of CIEIR Music. Since Light Harmony did the beginning of this thing. I figured it was time for me to end this. Who am I? Why am I doing this? Well that would be telling on the former, but I can explain the latter.
Over the years, as the world grows and changes, I've noticed that while there have been many accomplishments. There has been so much negativity over the years. Wars, Poverty, Disease and especially a huge rise in crime. However no one does a thing about it, because either they're too scared or see themselves as too weak to do something about it. So I thought I'd try to lead by example, to help people gain the courage to stand up for themselves and stand against all who try to harm or take advantage of them.
For the longest time, regardless of where you're from, your social status, political views, the one constant that we all have in common is that we have been conditioned to believe that our vastly huge population of civilians are weak against the very few people that run our respective worlds. That we cannot survive without them and that should we get out of line, they will imprison us and maybe even kill us. However here's the thing they are afraid of you knowing. The biggest lesson of all the lessons we've created so far. We outnumber them. That's right. We outnumber their authorities, despite their weapon advantage, we outnumber the politicians that seek to ruin some lives in favor of others, we outnumber even the most well organized of criminals. They know it and they use so many dirty tactics in an effort to make us fight each other all the time, the reason why they are so focused on keeping us in line is because they depend on us to survive. We cook their meals, we haul their trash, we connect their calls and we drive their ambulances. We guard them while they sleep. So why do they continue to fuck with us? Why do they continue to bite the hand that feeds us, when they could easily just give the same praise and devotion that we give them every day of our lives. New laws come in to make sure none of us succeed in life. Criminals have even gotten out of the shadows and starting harming people in broad daylight and to make matters worse, they're winning. Why? Because we stand here and do nothing.
As my friends always say. You are strong, they are weak. FUCK THEM ALL!!
Stay tuned for our next album.
