“Infused” is the third movement of “Lifeforce,” and fifth chapter on the album.
The section intends to communicate the energy felt in the state of inspiration and hyperactivity, prior to the collapse (see the timelines).
The lyrics to the choruses were inspired by “Lift up your heads, O ye gates” from Handel’s Messiah during the Christmas holidays a few years ago :
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
The rest of the lyrics are almost complete and currently under revision. Here are the words to the second build-up :
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
The excerpt presents the solo on which the section opens, followed by verse, build-up, and first chorus :
The Goal Was So Near
