will you answer the call, does it impel you?
this vehicle urges forever onward
take ownership of the life you’ve made
as the path behind fades
obscured from memory by the sounds of the here and now
tell the world that the day has come
never again will we be held back
by the belief that we are less tell the world
abstain me from the burden of your validation
i am greater than your vision of realization
free to become the person i yearn to be
i make this solemn promise
to live a life of virtue and integrity
one without compromise or the weight of my occlusions
i exist in the gaps and spaces, the unnoticed breath between paces
forged in the fire
i am on a path of my own design
stoke the flames higher
resounding visions shall carve my way
waste. decay. fail.
the clock is ticking
and you will fade away
don’t you waste your life,
with only one chance
to get this right
normal is broken
permanence is causing us to rot
break the mold
let’s build this pyre
so we can burn it down
a final layer, a view to behold

raise your head to the clouds
a gift to the sun, vowed
breath deep, relinquish to divine decree
fight this cascade of doubt
we’ve come too far now
breath deep, relinquish to divine decree
abandon your idols
abandon your culture
abandon your freedom
abandon the world
abandon the world
and make this nightmare end
placed upon the altar
carved with an obsidian blade
a heart still beating shall be raised
a sacrificial offering to save this race
raise your head to the clouds
a gift to the sun, vowed
breath deep, relinquish to divine decree
fight this mountain of doubt
we’ve come too far now
breath deep, relinquish to divine decree
a manifestation of the sun
an apparition of faith
the reflection of desire
to consummate this burning body
an apparition of faith
the reflection of desire
to consummate this burning body
bearing the serpent of the flame
no conscience, no evidence
just pious, demonic divinity
the place where beasts eat hearts

what is the meaning of honor?
our ignorance dissolves us of choice
blind to the truth of our horror
will we survive - this time
what is the meaning of honor?
there is no presence of truth
awaken, the time is now
we must defy our demise
trapped inside the lies of a crippled mind
endure the burden of the parasitic bind
overcome the lie
erase the enemy mind
we must efface
remove; erase
the enemy; mindscape

you are running out of time
the seconds diminish to nothing
scratch another line on the wall
the eternal burden impending
to exist no more
with the final curtain upon us
have you done all that you said?
a life worth living, before you rest
time’s arm ever reaching - was this your best?
claw your way through
relentless fear
through ceaseless dread
i persevere
enter the chronovore
devourer of time
enter the chronovore
waster of life
with the final curtain upon us
have you done all that you said?
a life worth living, before you rest
time’s arm ever reaching - was this your best?
we are running out of time
the hour’s inexorable chiming
foretells the reaper’s scythe at your neck
will you let his menace control you?
or exist unbound?
you are the enemy
bringer of despair
all that i claim to be
still standing here

chase the sun, one last time
shed this flesh, expand and subsist
wrought by grief, transcend all fear
as this strain fortifies me
this world will swallow you
crushing down with impossible might
this is a war for reality
flourish in the limit of humanity
the anthropocene is already dead
a human life replaced with genetic code
we birthed our masters through greed and apathy
bring forth the epoch of cybernetic androgyny
chase the sun, one last time
shed this flesh, expand and subsist
wrought by grief, transcend all fear
as this strain fortifies me
this world will swallow you
crushing down with impossible might
this is a war for reality
flourish in the limit of humanity
chase the sun, one last time
shed this flesh, expand and subsist
wrought by grief, transcend all fear
as this strain fortifies me
as this strain fortifies me

spirals and cycles
winding, surrounding
they spin towards a stillness
degrading to nothing
footprints of ancients
eroded into dust
silencing atrophy
landscapes of bones and rust
spirals and cycles
winding, surrounding
they spin towards a stillness
degrading to nothing
aspirations melt away by the searing promise of a new day
the shadows dissipate only to reanimate
ripped from the megacosm
expatiated beyond the known
billions of lives chained to a single soul
time spirals onward,
endlessly
spirals and cycles
winding, surrounding
they spin towards a stillness
degrading to nothing
the perpetual turn of the hourglass
reset by a new hand
a lucid reminder
what has been, will be again

entered into the voidless beyond
what I am and who i’ve become
the burden is calloused by silence
many voices encompass the one
another tragedy burns like endeavor
venom and poison enters my blood
you shook me from sleep, unannounced and defiant
like a ghost
I once saw in my dreams
a novel desire
the contrast of colors in your face,
in my mind, rent permanent space
entered into the voidless beyond
what I am and who I’ve become
the burden is calloused by silence
many voices encompass the one
another tragedy burns like endeavor
venom and poison enters my blood
coalesced in circuitry, the mind’s eye
the singularity
a thought experiment
collective knowledge of the species
connected by the brain
new energy found everywhere
another super nova collapsed
flying through the sky, blanketed in cosmic rays
mysteries that defy understanding
unafraid of the dark
venom and death
enters my veins
cast into the sea
while the raging winds charge behind me
we fall back to the primal urges
recourse sweeps us up and away
remind us not of who we are
but of who we need to be
we wait for the next step in evolution
we will wait forever
next in line to die
will always be the first to open their eyes
