Abstract
Lifeforce is the story of a personal catastrophe, an individual end of the world, from a state of inspiration and hyperactivity, through doubt, destabilization, failure, consternation, collapse, to relativisation, assessment, the return of hope, and renewal.
Non-linear time is used in order to present the various stages of the unfolding story as objects of an introspection which will lead to appraisal and peace and will allow the protagonist to determine his next direction.

Lyrics
Chapter 4 : Introduction / Forsaken / Flashback
The goal was so near, yet there was no reaching it
The prize was so dear, yet there was no tasting it
Inches away, promise of a better day
Fading away, only agony remains
Nowhere to find, such elusive peace of mind
Nowhere to go, left abandoned to the flow
Endeavors over the years, disregarded in a day
Seeds of hope and fruits of tears, so high a price to pay
Chapter 5 : Infused
{ currently under revision }
Heighten awareness beyond material
Question the sensing, master imagining
Guided by the quest, fired by the plight
Follow the insight, further the need to rise higher
So many ways this could fail, so many hardships
…
All the difficulties of the world can’t make this fall apart
No hurdle is too high for your heart
Lift your head up – so much to be done, so much to be said
Lift up your head – confrontation is no reason to stop
Lift your head up – so much to be done, so much to be said
Lift up your head – opposition will only make you thrive – keep it alive
Heighten awareness beyond conventional
Question the meaning, master the reasoning
…
…
So many reasons, so many objections
So many claims challenging intuition
All the cynicism in the world can’t make this fall apart
Intellect is no match for the heart
Lift your head up – so much to be done, so much to be said
Lift up your head – confrontation is no reason to stop
Lift your head up – so much to be done, so much to be said
Lift up your head – opposition will only make you thrive – keep it alive
