When we are face to face with the void
a bellowing pit of light, devoid.
remanent spectral glow, of bending light
refracted unnaturally in the never ending night.
reflections of bodily forms line up in a row,
can you imagine staring at the back of your own head whilst looking straight through, illusions only but evokes pure terror
one of the mysteries scarcely scratching the expansion of forever and ever
what if we let go spiralling down into
this chasm that will never end
watching reality and time bend
perceptions of things we held for so long
smashed obliterated forgone
the truth is always stranger
theoretical concepts we cannot wager constructs of a dying universe
atrophying into nothingness.
Will you turn away from this grand megalithic portal?
The last frontier you'll ever see
the looming shadow enveloping.
Who's to say this omniverse is not a minuscule remnant
a particle lost among another ephemeral tundra
a fleeting spec of matter among billions stagnant in constant inertia.

Scarlett eternity through celestial planes
sanguine rights led through hunted eyes
the silent snap of cut strings
the heaving shapes that crawl by
the unnamed in the deeps and the forgot in the flooded caves
come!
come in droves!
come!
come in swarms
Theurgia!
rejoice this life has failed you
cast your limbs in absolution
your purpose found
theurgia!
your purpose found
awakened from dormancy with hatred in their hearts
drones frenetic with valour
animal instincts through conduit
legions risen with deathly pallor
crawling through interdimensional tundra
made to fight a bloodshed not from their realm
broken bodies never defeated.
spellbound hypnotised berserkers
fighting like pawns with sown up mouths
and silent battle songs
piles of bones continue to advance on.

Chaos Reigns By Design

Through the ancient sphere
relics seized their minds
thousands of miles apart but always the same design
why is there a hybrid arcane idea?
is it born from coincidence or clandestine fear?
Each cell predetermined before conception
No exception.
Natural algorithms shaping the patterns of fate
simple code creating the biggest mysteries of lives
chaos reigns by design
we are all just a thought in some extinct beings mind
similar creatures pulled from the depths
similar shapes carved from stone
the origin unknown
patterns repeated throughout time
unconscious unknowing of other tribes
is it through some innate subconscious sprawl
or is it imprinted on, every one and all.
the veins that carry blood
the sticks the leaves the mud
incantations of attrition
the towers that touch the sky
the black in animals eyes
mindless drones
programmed clones
Are we living in somebody else's dream?
are we just a product of a machine?
the repeated forms that adorn the earth
nothing more than a data's sense of mirth
irony as our thoughts feel like our own
but they have been programmed before we even had bones.

Forward; Into The Dark

Life gets better
What a fucking lie
Only a child a wet knife in the eye
I wish this sadness would just go away.
But here it is.
Here it will always be, day after day.
Pleading for peace
always out of reach
strayed too far from whats meant to be
Forward
into
The dark.
Hands flail
Life unveiled
Life doesn't get any better
day after day mundane
don't believe the lie of purpose
as it all falls apart in front of eyes
Hate
anger
always a cover
Life unveiled

Cascaded and masked in misery
Let me go, let me grow
not through spite but tenacious purity
healed by the smite of age
stable now through change
another step actualisation of the self, attainment of reality
traversing layers like corpse skin falling off of bone
always reconstructing
for one minute I am know and never that again
Perspective is always needed, look further out
constellational reference, ignorant to the shoulders you stand upon
Cascaded and masked in the process of change
spoiled when it worked so well for so long
people shouldn't be dying like this but I know too well
clarity is a gift its hard to attain it comes around and leaves again
attainment of reality
traversing layers like corpse skin falling off of bone
always reconstructing for one minute I am known and never that again.
Enlightened and free, maybe on temporarily
purpose is lacking for us
something is wrong
search it out
free your doubt
master your actuality
