Beholden matriarch absent dominion
Chained to industry by precedent
Modern premier’s leash is given slack
Excess reveries from foreign bodies
Aspects detached preserved amenity
A beam rests inside the eye of the beholder
Beholden matriarch absent dominion
Chained to industry by precedent
Modern premier’s leash is given slack
Grasp the eclipse
Fallout beyond attenuation
Cycles chart the predetermined course
Summoned forward without heel
A blade honed for severing sentience
A second edge kept in shadow
Horizon dawns an endless storm
Until we rest beneath the winter way

Straying
Survival on their own
Existing
Resilience has shown
Exploiting
No value to disown
Devoided
Liberation overthrown
Exploited
Devoided
Acquired
Expired
Aiming for a purchase in the gutter to erase
The choir is reluctant in their dissonant refrain
Feral instincts will aim to take their hold
Picking from the gutter to find life to fit their mold
Refuse to the cosmos
Refuge from the void
Paper over the cracks of a bankrupt generation
Oncoming rift to bury bones
Oncoming rift to break the mold
Paper over the cracks of a bankrupt generation
Bury the mold
This world pulls
A vicious authority
To maintain by separation
Through separation, hell takes hold
Aiming for a purchase in the gutter to erase
The choir is reluctant in their dissonant refrain
Aiming for the gutter to find life they can erase
The choir is reluctant in their dissonant refrain

Drowned by memories of privilege
Jettisoned, forgotten
A life abridged
A vessel with no home
Is sent to the unknown
Signals relay the time to send away
A vessel with no home
Is sent to the unknown
A vessel with no home
Propelled to the unknown alone
Straining through the bottleneck
Current pushing contained by cosmic forces
Dauntless with a strong resolve
To trap a mortal still breathing in the aether
Straining through the bottleneck
Current pushing away
Binding thoughts and blending truth
A prelude of emptiness to come
The ancient awakening
The primal omens he’s come to fear
The premier always comes to collect
Ghastly sirens, empty calls
Succumbed in the vacuums jaws
Only fear escapes these walls
Falling ceilings, empty skies
Succumbed in the vacuums jaws
Only fear escapes these walls
Ghastly sirens, empty calls
Crushed in the vacuum’s jaws
No escape from endless nothing
Nothing
Nothing more
Crushed in the vacuum’s jaws for nothing

Generation Loss

Maimed past, distorted future
A masquerade of senses
Reluctant in awakening
His form observed betrayed by reverence
Perceived failures have become irrelevant
Guided thoughts are straining her
A lost aspiration to lead
A ritual of universal drain
Of her vigor
Of his aegis
A continued orbit
A ritual of universal drain
Maimed past, distorted future
To hunt down
To discover and institute
To command her and employ
To command her and to suppress
His voice is broadcast
Her image concealed
A feint for the subjects
Ignoring the real
A timeless ritual to prepare
An empty promise to protect
A hopeless body to employ
An empty cycle to reconnect

A leash to the maw
A lash on broken frame
Progress creates this blessing
Battered, stunned, linked into circuits
The burden of consequence
Advance to revolution
Decaying truths and indiscretion
A leash to the maw
A lash on broken frame
Progress creates this blessing
Flattened, spun, pressed into service
The burden of consequence
Advance to revolution
Decaying truths and indiscretion
A litany of echoes breeding apathy away
Inert to the risk
Obscured within harm
Spiraling past every cognition
Brought to the heel by coercion’s esteem
Incapacitating force has taken its hold
It carries the weight of the ages within
Stress approaching its fracture with moments of calm
A retold folly, with mimicked cadence
Relentless and callous
Flattened, spun, pressed into service
Repetitions strain
Every turn, a slow degrade
Perfect fit for ages
Trudging into mirrored faces
Lost senses stir within
Masking signals of alarm
Hymns will fade into the void
They’re obscured within the harm

Accords without arbitration
All processes forced
A rush of red capillaries
Hubris comes to prevail again
Sent into flight
Forced explorers born in orbit
Gravity pulls towards the end
Soon to be observed
False narratives spoken again
Both insignificant and essential
Forced explorers of the Earth
A ballast of perception looming
Exhaust persists without reservations
Hope lingering without a single spark
Sent to the expanse, a failed existence
False narratives, given solutions
Static circuit vows to promise
Masses deluded, hardened resolve
A pressure disputed, bury the captain
Pulled into the void

Void Hymn
10:05
|
|||
Wires hum their message
Transistors bridging waves of time
Consciousness transformed by beacons, persistent harmonies
Past recognitions are amplified throughout the waiting
Pulses degrade with reprieve throughout
Familiar images remain frozen again
As regular comforts begin to disintegrate
Amidst a cycle that’s never ending
Amidst a cycle that’s bleak and overwhelming
Still echoes and orbit
Time becomes consumed
The image has decayed
A boundary crossed
Still echoes and orbit
Life becomes consumed
The image has deceased
A void for him
Sounds of machines deafen
Past consciousness lost
Enveloped by restraints
Her body distorts
Surrounded by darkness
Lights glowing in response
to imagined words
Perceived past the harbor
A dead message
Aspects will shape through shifting of frames
Thoughts diverge and disappear
With recognition come
The resignation hums
A boundary crossed, a void created
The memories will distort
The ending will be forced
Her cognitions have disengaged
A slumber of selfishness looming
Raining down upon her body endlessly
Domination
Subjugation
Action without repercussion
Domination
Subjugation
Raining down upon her endlessly
The congregation of termination
A forging fire burning attentively
Domination
Subjugation
Her body sent to blackened seas

Tears of Burning Light

Quickening of pace
The planetary pressure builds, hammering endlessly
Recognition is elusive, the real grounds have deceased
Marvel at his might, submit to panic if it suits her
Cascading to the void
Grim dusk is imminent, riveting
Lost into starry night, an offering
Gasping the forging fire, caged to darkness
Hubris delays the predetermined time
Time dilates within mortal concern that overtakes
Gaia’s exhaled sigh
Pace and sense are quickening
Heaven’s pressure builds
Perpetual are the echoes
Recognition escapes rationality
The grounds are deceased, footsteps hovering
Transmissions from below
Sovereign faith is questioned
Dark matter dominates cosmic time
All domains are reset
The silent astral echo
A cycle rippling through time
The lessons left forgotten
Will cast this daydream into dust
The circuitry consumed
A silent astral echo
A cycle rippling through time
The circuitry consumed
