1. EREBUS

For now
We're alive
But time was never on our side
And nothing seems to stay eternal
We're setting sail
To somewhere we cannot exist
A singularity

And in this lightless well
A swirling sea of shadows
And this high-G burn
Isn't fast enough
To escape it

Heading for a storm
An otherworldly calm takes hold
And every final second matters
And I wanted you to know
The moment I let go of these controls
I hail you with a hand upon my heart

On wings that soar into the unknown
To know

And when the void inhales
The soul will let go
(and be swept away)

Swept into the golden ring
Where the dying light becomes
A million times more blinding

Now there's no turning back
We're on a one-way mission
To the heart of this event horizon

With nothing left but to surrender
We're on a one-way journey
To the eye of this galactic center

Crossing the boundary condition
A universal transition


2. CINDERFALL

Through the broken looking glass
Is it this reality I see
Or a screen to rewrite history
How can this be our final decree
On my knees in this atomic autumn field
This cannot be real

Is it the future that I see
In a wasteland staring back at me
The cinder in the rain
Just a reminder of all the mistakes we made
A silent word to the wise
Written in the gravestone dust of our own demise
If we seek long enough to find
What we left buried...

The key that unlocks the vessel
(A sequence in the maze)
The answer to the distress call
(A signal in the haze)
The seas we learn to navigate
(A compass spinning out of control)

The souls we have to save
From no one - no one but ourselves

Is it the ghost of you I see?
On the other side, looking back at me
Whispering in the ashen wind
All the warnings we never cared to believe
If I could slow this continuum
Long enough to linger in
The sentimental remembrance
Of the world we used to know

So why
Are we willingly dancing with death
On the edge of an imminent precipice
When there's no one left
To ask the question

Why?
Are we gazing into the abyss
On the verge of rescinding our genesis
When there's nowhere left to go
But into the great unknown


3. SIREN'S SLEEP

O' siren
Take me with you into the deep
(into silver streams)
O' silence
Take me somewhere I can sleep
(life was just a dream)

And when this carbon falls apart
Will you remember me?
And when this presence turns to dust
Will you let me rest in peace?

O' siren
Lure me to my watery grave
(with your song of sweet despair)
O' silence
Take me down beneath the waves
(no trace left of me here)

Ashes to ascension
Dust to decay
All of this matter left to fragile transiency
Walk through this dimension
Walk into the fray
Transfer this anatomy to nothing but frequency

Break these mortal chains
Free me from this prison
Let this vessel wreck upon the shores of nevermore
Shed these worn remains
Rive me from this avatar
Render me amorphous in the ever-after

I see nothing
Nothing but the dark unknown
I hear whispers
Telling me I'm never alone
Now I'm fading
Losing hold of all I know
There's nothing left for me but the great beyond

I feel nothing
I fear nothing
When nothing becomes all I know
I'm not waiting
For someone to save me
Quietly into night I go alone
