My sight is corrupted. Deaf are my ears.
What I feel misleads me. How can I know what is true?
Intellect; the endless rouse.
Choose the path ahead.

My eyes have seen. They have been opened.
I did not do this. You have betrayed yourselves.
We are not who you think we are.
We are one. We are all.
Everything laid bare. Behold. Witness.
A city of minds gorged on filth.
Crept up shore; the blood unworthy.
Proud and arrogant; held aloft the idol of self.
Look at me! You see hypocrisy.
We must change.
My eyes have seen, they have been opened.
My eyes have seen, they have been opened.
You have betrayed yourselves.
You have betrayed yourselves.
Everything laid bare. Behold. Witness.
A city of minds gorged on filth.
Crept up shore; the blood unworthy.
Proud and arrogant; held aloft the idol of self.

Give yourself unto the queen. Dreams are spared. Fools appeased.
You will sacrifice your petty life. Flowing gold. Matriarch!
Cease! Cease! Cease!
With every drop of blood, we know our place among the horde.
Never doubt. Never question. Punish the ones who fly alone.
Tear it down! Tear it down!

Penumbra

Lost across the penumbra. Older we have become.
Decay is all we know.
Fiction to weave. Narrate and compose.
Journey with loose thought just to hide a sorrow.
Shadows darken. Behind light flees this place destined for insignificant things.
All that is left is to fade.
Empty streets. Ghosts roam free.
Memory! Memory!
Strayed too far. The land is frail beneath my feet.
The ground gives way.
Lost across the penumbra. Older we have become.
Decay is all we know.

Umbra

The silence! The gray waste above me. Below! Heavy burden to bear.
I see it. It looks back. Inside me I know.
A promise given. A promise broken. Heavy burden to bear.
So cold. So cold.
Eyes upon me. Gouge them out. Then for my own; place a veil.
Truth is an enemy. My allies are not real. My allies are not real.
I see it. It looks back. Inside me I know.
A promise given. A promise broken. Heavy burden to bear.
Sensation of flame. Ember enter. Swirl and descend.
A place to call home; a house for the ones who whisper.

An Enduring Firmament
11:21

As foes invade the sanctum of revelation and enlightenment, in spite of their falsehoods, despite all their lies, every attempt to cripple the pillars of verity are efforts fatuous, empty and void.
Drunk on passion; a fleeting moment. Proceed and tear it forever down.
I wish you could remember, but now is all there is.
What is to come can only fail.
You've damned more than yourselves.
Distant lands witness the fall. Within we hid our shame.
Blame; it must be shared. Who now can claim innocence?
Stood by while it burned. Is this the end, or can we start again?
Wake up. Arise.
Wake up! Arise.
It is not too late.
Wake up! Arise!
It is not too late!
