Standing on the verge of aeons
Gazing into the void between
Behold the roots tearing apart
Heralding the oncoming deluge
Ascended to the highest throne
Self-proclaimed king of creation
Despotic rule over every living being
Knowledge is a power-trip
It gives us everything
And doesn’t ask anything back
Yet nothing will suffice
The bond is dying
Cold embrace of electricity
Fickle but vital
Obscuring the verity
With artificial projections
Lost in the maze of polished facades,
skewed and denialistic views
Giants shifting the onus down on our feeble shoulders
Endless coveting to fill the void at any cost
The one that was planted in us from the very beginning
Facing the greatest fear of them all
Conquered with a promise of kingdom come
We are burning and drowning ourselves alive
Even if this is all we have

Anagnorisis

There is a place in the heart of the forest
Where spiders weave their crystalline webs
And blackbirds sing in the key of light
Where all the sorrows are uninvited
Here I shall lay my weary vessel
On a bed of leaves and needles
Through years of famine and abundance
Many ages they have withstood and observed
Deep go their roots into this soil
Throbbing veins of the earth
Reverence born through death
The most sacred of rites
Countless passings I have witnessed
Cacophony of dying cells
Forgotten wisdom
Withered harmony
Forever shrouded in mystery
Deny what you cannot understand
Walls of stone and steel
Straight lines for crooked ideals
Blood and bones
Still bound to be sacrificed in the end
Into the dead of night
To where no pathway goes
Pave me the way with silver starlight
The moon is riding high
Here I shall lay my weary vessel
On a bed of leaves and needles
Mother take this offering
In death we shall unite
The sun will rise to a new dawn
Devoid of woe and tribulation
