1. ANTARESIAN

We have beheld the age when the cosmic sea was filled
We have transcribed the formation of constellations

Eyes coalesce into oneness
With each generation, expanding

We have become the archetypes of existence
We have understood the purpose of ourselves

Visions blessed with permanence
Accursed everlasting sentience

What has been seen must never be forgotten
The wisdom of eternity we carry
Into the furthest reaches of the cosmos
Far away from our faded, dying suns

Immortal

Memories

Embraced

By time

We have beheld the birth of our binary suns
We have counted the days before their failing light

The tide of life has risen
And so too must it fall

We have unveiled the harrowing end of our world
We have foreseen the devouring of our galaxy

And when the light has gone
So too will be our memories

What has been seen must never be forgotten
The wisdom of eternity we carry
Into the furthest reaches of the cosmos
Far away from our faded, dying suns

Immortal

Memories

Embraced

By time

We send our minds into the waves of the cosmic sea
Our bodies remain to return to the void
As one we defined the purpose of our own existence
And we will find what lies beyond this dying world

Immortal memories embraced by time…


2. FROZEN STAR DIVINIZATION

Frozen in time
The shell of a neutron star
Collected among
The event horizon’s edge
Universes connect
An edge between two realities
Hypersurfaces linked
Transforming to codimensions
Comingling the traits of paired existences
Across a stretch of suspended time
Properties pass from one cosmos to the next
Macrocosmic aspects replicate and disperse
Resplendent emanations
Simulacrum transposed
New logic is formed
Laws of nature transform
Time’s anatomy shifts
Gravity ceases to exist
All constructs
All meaning
Wiped away
In the consummation
Transfiguration
Divinization
Energy disperses
Rupturing through the cracks
Among the surface
Intertwined intrinsic bonds
Elements exchanged
Through tunneling wormholes
Distributing instantly
Across the empty expanse
Planting the seeds of formations unknown
Depictions upon the empty canvas of the cosmos
Properties pass from one cosmos to the next
Macrocosmic aspects replicate and disperse
Resplendent emanations
Simulacrum transposed
New logic is formed
Laws of nature transform
Time’s anatomy shifts
Gravity ceases to exist
All constructs
All meaning
Wiped away
In the consummation
Transfiguration
Divinization
Energy disperses
Across the surface
This reality is birthed
The foundation is laid
For creation of future worlds
What once was is shattered
The shell is cracked and worn
To this new reality we submit
New logic is formed
Laws of nature transform
Time’s anatomy shifts
Gravity ceases to exist
All constructs
All meaning
Wiped away
In the consummation
Divinization


3. TERRA REQUIEM

The last leaves have fallen
The last vine has withered
The ocean has boiled for so long
Choking our breath with fetid steam
We claw for shelter from the heartless sun
Which cracks our skin and dries our wells
So great is the debt we have incurred
So too will we wilt and fade into dust
We’ll pay with the ashes of our humanity
And cease to walk upon this earth
And the earth will forget our name


4. LUMINOUS ACCRETION

Corporeal fractures
Essence separates
Violent transposition
Self-observed from above, lingering
Communicants, wretched spires
Materialize, surround, engulf
Great tongues through which
Creations are spoken (and thus conceived)
Possessing the husk, now lifeless
Diminished into anemic sedation
Vigor mutates into weakness
Life transmutes into energy
The light is gleaned, the refuse discarded
The radiances collect evermore
Vigorous accretion unknown
Martyred fragments once threshed
Merging, veiled in shadow
Returning to past forms
Communicants, wretched spires
Materialize, surround, engulf
Great tongues through which
Creations are spoken (and thus conceived)
The light is gleaned, the refuse discarded
The radiances collect evermore
Bask within the glory
Beneath the searing sky
Become a torch
Or turn to ashes
Time’s grasp tightens
As hope grows dim
They’ll turn to ashes
They’ll turn to ashes
Returning to past forms
Shrouds of diffused light, revitalized
The fragments recovered
Can bind together once again
And become whole


5. ATARAXIA TUNNELS

Visions conjure throughout
A delusion searing into memory
So vividly
Once compulsively wrought
Now imbued to confine a once-great mind
Forever
Paradigm abstraction
Contortion absolute
Reduction of wisdom into basest impulse
The faintest glimpse of the reflections remain
The visage presenting itself as a wretched beast
A gruesome debasement of vigilance released
Corpulent sycophant
Forcibly satiate
Parasite omnivore
Ravaging nescience
Bastardized abomination reveling in self-destruction
Restructured horrendously through eons of suffering
Bastardized abomination reveling in self-destruction
Self-flagellation, infinite thought regression
Reason crumbles throughout
An illusion permeating identity
Completely
Once impulsively mocked
Now rejoicing in the deadened halls of lucidity
Heedlessly
Ambitions recanted
Degeneration complete
Reduction of wisdom into basest impulse
The faintest glimpse of the reflections remain
The visage presenting itself as a wretched beast
A gruesome debasement of vigilance released
Corpulent sycophant
Forcibly satiate
Parasite omnivore
Ravaging nescience
Bastardized abomination reveling in self-destruction
Restructured horrendously through eons of suffering
Bastardized abomination reveling in self-destruction
Self-flagellation, infinite thought regression
Infinite
Thought
Infinite
Regression
So tranquil...
So tranquil...
So tranquil...
Has my erasure become
Blissfully I depart
And separate from my mind
Blissfully I depart
And soon I will forget
