I see
a broken deceiver
spreading lies
I feel
the sound of the future
I see the end
of all life
cold and un-compromised
the angels
set their sights
for the sky
solo
I drowned today
I woke up late
and found that nothing was the same
ice spike
water way
all the memories had to fade
but the sound
of living forever
solo
I see
a broken deceiver
spreading lies
I feel
the sound of the future
I see the end
solo
lost in silence
this dream is haunting
the Earth begins to fade away
new found stillness
the stars are waning
the pain begins to fade away
all is still now
the stars are waning
the pain it slips and fades
new found silence
the stars are waning
the Earth begins to fade away
solo

this isn't the first time, and it won't be the last.
for somewhere in the ancient past, an event occurs
that will shake all mankind to the core.
the great societies of our past ages
have left us warnings - devoid of language
versed, in the universal numerical diction
their clues were hardly veiled
the sky glows an orange vibration
as the ground begins to shake
the world shifts - and is remade
our ice caps break.
for they knew all along that he would come again
and they knew what was at stake
for they knew all along of the return
and they saw this as an unfit end for our human race
they saw it as a snake
the winged disk
a solar plague
he came to teach - but could not stay
through fear, our world was taught
it's understandings of grace
through fear, in promise
that I will return one day
so they designed a game for us to play
devised in shrouds to keep the sacred knowledge
hidden from the profane
and every single day you and I contribute to
and play their game
because they knew that if we knew
that our world would collapse and
fall into panic state
so
they designed a way to keep us enslaved
solo
for surely you will not die
for if you eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge
you will become like us
immortal
through all the passages of time
and if you eat the fruit borne of the tree of knowledge
then you will become like us
you will become like
god
why?

fragmented sound
pragmatic enlistment
forgotten values
you know that action outweighs word
and always will
and that the universe
does not forget
you have built a fortress of nothingness
so run away, run like a coward
but the universe does not forget
solo
this is where morals came to die
you chose your path
you chose your life
breakpoint
circus of mirrors
immeasurable power
setting the cycle of
enchanted endearment
suspended in power
while in time you may learn to forgive yourself
you know that the hands of substance
will repay in time
and in your hour of need
when you find yourself most broken
there will only be emptiness
you underlying vermin
you have built a fortress of nothingness
so run away, run like a coward
but the universe does not forget your fragmented sound
