1. UNMAPPED CONSTELLATIONS

Silent, a phantom displaced
In vacuum's embrace
Unseen and unfamiliar skies
A universe unrecognized

Extinct, the heavens of home
An abdicated astral throne
Unfixed, at the mercy of time
Cruel celestial pantomime

Strange new suns, futile astrogation
Cast away, no hope for salvation
Into the unknown at full acceleration
Sailing beneath unmapped constellations

To explore these nameless worlds
My heart alight, my mind aswirl
Long afloat in void divine
Still I mourn for all that's left behind


2. THROUGH THE COLD BLACK YONDER

Adrift for countless aeons, through endless time
Bereft of all but darkness, my loss enshrined
Sailing empty oceans of stars and space
Will I ever wander, alone, astray?

From betwixt the galaxies, I hear a siren song
Calling me into the void, where I belong
Lulled by cosmic whispers and melodies
Will my ill-starred voyage never cease?

Wayward, still I carry onward
Through the cold black yonder
Perfect isolation
Abject desolation

Starlight, star bright
Steer me through this endless night
Fill me with the speed of light
And guide me home tonight


3. DILATION SLEEP

Now I close these eyes one final time
And sing my farewell to lonesome skies
The stars still turn, the stars still shine
But my heart is old, worn and malign

All I have seen, all I have felt
The galaxy is nought but an empty hell
Mindless spacetime, heartless tableaux
I yearn for oblivion and so I go
To sleep
And dream

Hopeless, homeless, coldness
Weightless, ageless, aimless

Hopeless, homeless, searing coldness
Dreams of sunlit clear blue skies
Weightless, ageless, ever aimless
Drifting through eternal night

Endless heartache, senses ablate
A weary mind and tired soul
So I escape to bright dreamscapes
Where I seek some sweet repose

Somnolent, discontent, temporal transient
Still breathing but I ask 'wherefore'?
Now to hibernate, slumber, self-negate
One last glance and glimpse before
I sleep
And dream


4. STARGAZING IN THE ABYSS

So far now, jaded and scarred
So alone now, here between the stars
So dark now, devoid of light
Stargazing in abyssal night

Light-years from home
Amidst the unknown
So cold inside
So dark outside
Saturnine and suffering
Time-dilated slumbering
Subjective being
Millennia of dreaming

Ancient, afflicted, broken, decayed
Hostile, deranged, hateful, insane

So fast now, infinite weight
So vast now, the future to create
What's left now? Nothing more than this
Stargazing in the abyss

God of all but king of no one
God of all but king of none
