lyrics

Stars colliding
Burning temples
Pillars of creation
Crumbling and tumbling
Into dust

Seven
Dissonant bells
Toll as the Earth death knell
A final
Eternal eclipse
Fire rises

A noxious garment
Whelms the Earth
Ember fields
Scorched beyond sight
Beyond woeful clouds
It lingers
Every fragment of light
Every hope denied

Few monuments still stand
No more than vacuous shells
Emptied of all meanings
With great irony
They have never been more
Emblematic
Of our condition


In a final
paroxysm of reason
We reached out
for the outer darkness
Atonement
for our cursed kind
Nothing but the epitome of
Self deception

As the bastard sons of the world
We come clean in the deepest denial
Awaken
But never aware
Forging bridges that lead to nowhere

Blinded pilgrims
With curved backs
Flocking towards the schoria
Of an old effigy

Upon the altar
Red eyes glow
Pansophical
Like floating in the deepest darkness

And those who were granted sight
Soon
Beseeched
The blindness
