Pick it up, feel its weight
while its roots are merging with your veins
Hold it close, now look within
Watch the galaxies in his eyes spin
Dancing lights, his sword and his sheath
Two soulS grinning, one maniacally
Kingdom of the sun, burned by its light
Fallen down to earth, tongue stained the knife
Your hand knows your fate, broken and frayed
Sellswords candle is melting away
Promises, recanted no shame
Bonds are whispers now, embrace your fate
What a beautiful relic
So nearly lost to time
What a beautiful relic
I sacrifice
What a beautiful relic
This precious love of mine
What a beautiful relic
I'll burn it to soar on wings of light
Lusting after a purpose
Could I be the key to unlock this catastrophe?
A timeless lovers quarrel
Spilling blood across the Dirac Sea
the severed hand of mercy
Orgy of fate now enveloping me
Lips pressed to the hole in the sky
Never again with you,
Give me wings.

Fear drove us
into dismay
Assured of our purpose
by Matrioshka Brain
Dendrochronic bloodshed
is utterly connate
Build the gift of mercy
to outrun our fate
What have we done?
Twisted into what we feared
Algol's laughter echos on
What have we won?
Cursed silence, lonely peace
At what cost? The cosmos loss
From lightyears away
we witness the weight of our sin
So goddamn possessed, by these circular tests
Victim of the sickness, the old wounds dig us in
Cursed mandate from the start
A world torn asunder from within
What's progress worth to the trauma you've endured?
we cower before a mirror of cold obsidian
You never asked for this
Borderlined synapses try to scream
The poison in your mind has robbed your reason blind
Endless summer stolen by selfish scarcity
Cursed mandate from the start
A world torn apart from within
What's progress worth to the trauma you've endured?
we cower before a mirror of cold obsidian
My species rots in hell
We'll answer for our crimes
undoing all their progress
in exchange for useless lives
A pox upon the universe
the stars are growing dim
We resurrected long lost hate
You'll suffer for our sins

The Circle Closes

It was an act of hubris
We spit in the face of the gods
Lovers burning to bright at both ends
It could only be the will of Ka
Slaves to contrivance
Uplifted by attachments wheel
Traversed the distant planes for you
That gaze reminds me what is real
Draw guns together
There's nobody that we cannot kill
Hours, nights tear our walls down
so that our fate can be fulfilled
But we swore that we would fight side by side
Now I swear the circle closes tonight
Still lurking ancient shadow
Smother warmth and break all bonds
Armor rusts, crowned with lichen
Still the garden grows around its heart
Grab smoke it slips through fractal
visions floating through dispondant tides
memories of potential futures
won't stop echoing through my mind
Seek strength the rest will follow
Journey forth across oceans of sand
your temples buried, not burned
From afar I witness your ascent
But we swore that we would kill side by side
Now I swear the circle closes tonight
But we swore that we would die side by side
Now I swear the circle closes tonight

It's plain to see what cuts through me
my nerves are locking tight.
Endocrine betrayal
Brought low before its might
Silent screaming internally
The night is filled with eyes
Agents of the enemy are
conjured up by my mind
Words caught
in my throat
like razor wire
desperate
to throw my name
onto the pyre
Falling inward, there's no escape
the maelstrom churns inside
instincts pull me to the shadows
I'll disappear in time
ablative armor now stripped away
the core is now in sight
progressive knife held in both hands
It's time to start my life
Words caught
in my throat
like razor wire
Trapped inside
racing thoughts
chances expire
Cold sweat
Burning veins
Electric nerves
scream again
