Veil Of Maya - Codex Lyrics






Imprisoned in all of us, a journey
A true test of being, a struggle in us all to be human
We all possess the most raw and natural power deep inside
Standing there in the moment
In the position to live now
Standing there in the moment
Imprisoned in all of us, a journey

Temptation won't control me
In the position to live now
Temptation won't control me
Imprisoned in all of us, a journey
We all know there is something more to our lives
When the inner core beckons
Savage and clean the body still receiving, a message
The code to greatness
A known true cure to us all

  3. �.... �....

    100х on repeat 🎶🎧🔂💕

  4. S.... ....

    This song still blows me away every time I hear it.

  5. W.... C....

    The neurons on the album cover are microscopic photos of Marc's brain cells.

  6. 6.... P....

    New VOM fans won’t find us here.

  7. K.... C....

    One of the finest metal songs out there! Lyrically as well as musically.

  8. a.... ....

    0:00 veil of maya "conquer"

    a.... ....

    This song is Codex lol

  9. T.... M....

    Taking it back to 9th grade 🤷

  10. B.... W....

    Those 2 guitar riffs at the end are fucking sick

  11. I.... ....

    I fucking love you veil of maya, im making instrumental covers because marc became one of my favs guitarist. I'll be uploading a cover of this song nthis week. I hope one day I will be able to share stage with these guys, they're my infancy and my today

  12. G.... T....

    mosh ninjas throw hands @ 1:05

  13. C.... A....

    This has been one of my favorite songs since it came out. These melodies are almost tear-jerkingly beautiful.

    C.... A....

    Mark touches my willy through my soul. Its almost homo how a man can make another man feel this way with those beautiful riffs.

    C.... A....

    KloWn694 lol

  14. N.... W....

    You had one job Sumerian.The song is Codex, not Conquer

    N.... W....

    +Nick Winches maybe if you told them 4 years ago, we wouldn't have this problem

  15. t.... k....

    Back when veil of maya was good

    t.... k....

    Look I love this album to death, I listen to it almost every day sometimes, but it's just open note chugging, some chords here and there, and lead guitar arpeggios. They've really stepped up their composition and songwriting skills on the newest record and you just don't sound informed at all form a musical standpoint when you talk about music like that. Accept the band is changing and evolving to fit new narratives of music, or fuck off. Simple.

    t.... k....

    tom kotas their new album was so good what are you talking about?

    t.... k....

    Spencer sounds good because he's in Periphery. Those kinds of vocals don't belong in a band that used to be as heavy as this. Now they sound like a boy band that's trying too hard. Their new album sucks goat scrotes, deal with it.

    t.... k....

    tom kotas totally agree with you. Common Man's Collapse and Id have unforgettable songs that don't sound like everyone else. The vocals don't take away from the music, and the instruments can really breath. The newer shit is way too focused on the vocals, the music suffers. Marc went from playing 10 unforgettable, amazing riffs per song to a handful per album.

    t.... k....

    Bands evolve. Bands are not immune to change. Bands are artists. Artists don't enjoy painting landscapes all the time. They get bored. They lose interest. Shit gets stale. As a fan you are allowed to love or hate it. Unfortunately you're not in the band so you have not one bit of a right to judge their direction. You aren't apart of their day to day grind. Basically your opinion doesn't mean shit to an artist who enjoys their own work. Of course they want to please their fans and maybe some of you want to hear the same story or see the same shit all the time but that leaves no room for improvement. You get dirty, you make mistakes, you win some, you lose some. So just sit back and enjoy the ride. True VOM fan here from day one. Get the fuck over it if you don't like it. Listen to something else that compares to the same old tired shit you want to hear. Thank you and fuck the haters.

  16. A.... B....

    This is Veil of Maya's best album.

  17. K.... ....

    This is so almost neoclassical metal. Beautiful

  18. t.... ....

    This could be speaking about the divine within us.

  19. A.... M....

    Oh, how I miss this VoM. 2:39 onward is such a beautiful piece of music. Just genius.

  20. A.... F....

    Plays over and over in my head love this song this is true veil of maya conception

  21. H.... K....

    This song is just fucking gorgeous, words don't do it justice.

  22. N.... S....

    This song is beyond good.

  23. 2.... ....

    Best VOM song. period.

  24. S.... C....

    The lyrics are about the album name, why not just name it Id.........the fuck is a codex

    S.... C....

    Codex is a wealth of information pertaining to a specific subject. Fitting, don't you think?

    S.... C....

    @Ian Jackson It is like we carry the sum total experience and knowledge of the race, that we are walking microcosms, and we have the whole universe within us. #HigherConsciousness  

  25. A.... ....

    It's Not Safe To Swim 2.0?

  26. m.... s....

    It's not safe to swim tomorrow, lol.

    m.... s....

    Hahaha it was safe the day before lol

    m.... s....

  27. P.... ....

    amazing

  28. M.... B....

    There's so much beauty in this chaos.

  29. N.... M....

    one of the greatest metal songs of all time

    N.... M....

    @***** so youre saying akeldama isnt metal?

    N.... M....

    @***** how is it anything close to anything opeth has ever done? i cant even take you seriously after that comment.

    N.... M....

    @***** you are an enjoyable person to talk to. suggest some actual "metal" then.

    N.... M....

    @***** ive been listening to incantation and cryptopsy alot lately

    N.... M....

    IT IS NOT FUCKING DEATHCORE YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH, ITS TECHNICAL DEATH METAL

  30. T.... P....

    0:56 Mind explosion

  31. J.... C....

    It says conquer in the beginning

  32. s.... ....

    dat It's Not Safe To Swim Today riff at 1:14

  33. c.... ....

    Wow amazing, maybe my new favorite song of theirs.

  34. S.... ....

    brandon's lyrics are always amazing, he goes over a lot of different stuff, even pop culture like namaste. his growls are the shit too

  35. T.... W....

    VOM definitely has always had an uplifting theme to their lyrics

  36. O.... H....

    this was the song that first got me into them

  37. T.... T....

    I'm glad that you are keeping an open mind.

  38. C.... C....

    animals as leaders has a song just like the end

  39. T.... T....

    I agree.

  40. B.... F....

    but 121343462x better

  41. B.... F....

    The ending outro riff from 2:38 till the end is fucking amazing the perfect blend of melody and off time rhythm

  42. R.... L....

    Someone just sent me this link as motivation. The lyrics are great, to bad I can't understand any of it. It's just because I never listen to this kind of music.

  43. I.... J....

    I beg to differ. I don't like Misha's producing on that album. I mean, it's still VoM, but fuck man, this is like one of my favorite albums ever.

  44. K.... ....

    yes music

  45. 0.... ....

    i think he says "imprisoned in all of us, locked away, a true test of being"

  46. 0.... ....

    veil of maya is the way to go, it's just the best

  47. N.... ....

    This song is 1000x better when you blare it with subs :)

  48. N.... ....

  53. 1.... ....

    This is definitely a much more optimistic and positive album than common mans collapse.

  54. F.... ....

    only problem with this band is that u cant fucking headbang properly to this awesome shit

  55. N.... A....

    i know right! a few of the riffs on this album remind me of pirates of the carribean lol

  64. A.... ....

    Finally someone noticed. Wanted to write that, too. But then I tought, being the 102334th to do that would be embarassing.

  65. M.... ....

    @Xactualize I would like but I'm on an iPad you deserve top

  66. A.... ....

    this song gets me all jollied up!

  67. c.... ....

    that outro parts reminds me of something from Dream Theater, King Crimson, BTBAM. respect

  68. E.... M....

    anyone else notice the error EpicHookMaster made Top Comments?
    He labeled the mistake sumerian made lower right hand side, when it was really lower left hand side. lol. :3

  69. J.... B....

    I love this song so freekin much!!! Veil of maya rules!! :D go watch @slayc cover of this song! It's amazing!

  70. R.... ....

    @EpicHookMaster U notice the error you made in your comment :D
    "bottom right hand side" :3

  71. E.... L....

    you mean bottom left....

  72. E.... ....

    @kidloc1 I was herpin durpin that day. lol.

  73. d.... ....

    What a beautiful outro, what a beautiful song.

  74. A.... S....

    @EpicHookMaster bottom left :) but ur right

  75. M.... ....

    0:57-1:15 <3

  76. R.... ....

    @EpicHookMaster No,but I did notice that it was on the bottom left hand side :P

  77. D.... P....

    Disposed To Mirth brought me here...lol

  78. S.... J....

    @EpicHookMaster Lol it clearly says it on the left.... wtf u dont know ur left and rights?

  79. K.... W....

    @JapaneseGolfClubs I'm agree, is the same song but with different key and some other things.

  80. S.... ....

    @JapaneseGolfClubs Yeah, because a different key, order, chord progression, and rhythm make it the same as another song.

  81. c.... ....

    @EpicHookMaster Umm, wouldnt that be the bottom LEFT? lol

  82. K.... T....

    no deslike so far... who can deslike this!

  83. N.... V....

    @mnames456 FAGGGGGGOT

  84. a.... ....

    guitar at 1:15 kinda sounds like the same riff from "it's not safe to swim today"....hmmmm

  85. m.... ....

    @HeavyMusicGuy16 I like asking alexandria because of their epic high screams and the occasional breakdown. I haven't heard any of the faceless's songs but Im not really into death metal. veil of maya and that one song by chelsea grin is the only deathcore I will listen to. perhaps I'll give the faceless a listen. anyhow, +10 for maturity and for not shoving your interest in my face and claiming it superior (like in most youtube music arguments)

  86. D.... S....

    @mnames456 Right you see I'm not into metalcore, therefore asking alexandria sounds like shit to me lol. The faceless is more on the lines of progressive deathmetal(with a few breakdowns, but not enough to be considered "deathcore")Veil of maya to is a progressive metal band aswell, but leaning more to a metalcore/deathcore sound. I do agree with you on the fact that this label signs alot of really talented bands.

  87. m.... ....

    @HeavyMusicGuy16 what do you mean by 'ehhh' lol do you like them or not really? I dont really care about contrasting opinions. And im not a huge fan of deathcore so i dont listen to the faceless. in fact, I like veil of maya because, although a deathcore band, this album sounds more like metalcore

  88. D.... S....

    @mnames456 yeah I was going to say ehhh about asking alexandria, you're forgetting the faceless!

  89. B.... S....

    @EpicHookMaster i hope you know thats the left side not right .

  90. m.... ....

    WHY DOES THIS RECORD LABEL HAVE ALL AMAZING BANDS?!?!?!?!?!? veil of maya, born of osiris, periphery, fellsilent, circle of contempt! and Asking alexandria (don't hate)

  91. D.... ....

    @selubria
    Damn, this actually sounds tremendously like It's Not Safe To Swim Today. The fuck..

  92. D.... ....

    @selubria
    Just started listening, but there are at least 2 chords the same. There's your reason.

  93. E.... ....

    @thewonkis -.-

    Fuck you trolls hahahaha

  94. D.... D....

    @EpicHookMaster thats left bro XD nice try tho

  95. E.... ....

    @wingeddemon1026 -.- Explained below D:

  96. E.... ....

    Yeah I'm a failure. haha.

  97. J.... G....
