In the cosmic night, spectacle of light Pristine creation Primal waves coalesce into new life Pulsing in grand crescendo New born child of the galaxy Ruled by deep blue oceans Moons and mountains are watching the constant motions Reaching out to the sky Soaring up ever high Verdant groves, blooming evergreen Endless wonders left unseen Dry wind burning the land to a crisp, the waters rising Doomed for vile evolution and death, uprising Famine spreading contagion and disease Nothing remains but extinction and flames Fleeting meager lives Time after time climbing the Kardashev scale Creator, preserver, destroyer Forever the cycle repeats Clandestine calamities The dust has settled now And the sky regained its glow Serene and gentle rest Whence marvelous life can grow The ocean’s soft caress Its breeze is ever strong The shade of hulking trees Where do they all belong? The hues of eventide Depart these distant shores The same old ancient dawn An innocent, pure fawn Comets fall through the sky Molten core spewing high Conflagration, burning all in its path Ultimate supernovan wrath Bursting with the force of a thousand suns Crumbling to nebular dust Not unlike a mortal soul Forgotten once it’s burned to coal Curtain call, for all life must fall Clandestine calamities

HALO CRVSHER 08:20
Awake, bewildered, and lost I can’t tell whose path I crossed Gazing into the black hole inside The voices collide obscured and intertwined Behind the veil of consciousness Lies a bottomless pit of violence Constant fear and pain take their toll Giving birth to the HALO CRVSHER Fear the halo crusher, destruction in its wake Astral visions breaking, they burn me at the stake Fear the halo bearer, conviction in his eyes Silently I watch them, surely they are wise Everything in this life is predestined Trapped in the sweet illusion of grandeur Cages of gold, our freedom unquestioned How can I let it go? Letting the anger take root inside me Giving in to the voices beside me Watching the halo crusher take over Dousing the flame of hope Surrender to the abyss, embracing chaos itself The halo crusher revels in ruin and despair My mind and body severed devoted to the heir An empty shell, left to wallow In grief and remorse Nothing left for me I see the sorrow Inflicted by my hands Drenched in apathy
