I was the smartest of my kind
The boldest of my time
The only soul in this treacherous universe, with any reason to life
I know why I'm here
To me it's clear
Heaven sent a message solving mysteries held dear
I am your master
I have a journey for you
With knowledge and my guidance power through
But heed my call
Listen or fall
Your progeny shall lead the earth to greater planes, once and for all
It's said and done
I'm not the one
This can't be right no ones as qualified as I, not even my own son
So lest behold
Do not as told
I must seek forth this wondrous place and never, grow, old
I must live to see the age when a rift in space will assuage
The weight of life and pain off human shoulders
Conquering the fault in me voyage to lakes of eternity
Where I took the elixir now I'm the forever Exister!
Years have gone by
And so have my
Relatives and friends and everyone I knew, all dead in the ground!
My statue lurks
So "look on my works!"
Level sands reset the hands of those who hold me down
I've gone through seasons of sin
I surely cannot win
If I back out now, my name must be known
It's time to see what waits
Beyond heavens glorious gates,
I'll be called none but "holy one",
Assume my precious throne
I am your master
You've failed me through and through
Why was time frozen, you weren't chosen, you've spun this world askew
The heavens have met the earth
You've succeeded for what it's worth
But now you're banned, to walk the lands, forever for you aren't true

Marching against time in the shadow of progress
Overhead, vultures are watching
The sound of cracking elements forewarning a banquet
Phantoms crying, cultures dying
Yet somehow, the earth and steel collide - Relentlessly
Enslaved by perseverance
Liberated by choice
Their hearts fall apart
Fools betray the very ground on which they walk
Falling voices echo through the hills
In the face of death he grins as paradise falls away

Ascension
10:07

Sentient beings rise
Natural skyward ties
Bound by one constant force
Instinct oversees our terminal, vertical course
We must trek on
Escape the earthly tethers of the ground
We'll race the dawn
Persistent futile creatures have no bound
Voyaging home
By voyaging forever
Not the fruit it's the climb
It's the rock it's the time
You changed together
Offset cries
Silent pride
Like the moon climbs endless sky,
I've been restrained and now I must comply
Time is transient embrace your fears, achieve ascension through blood, sweat, and tears
(Valhalla I'm coming)

Cultures in conflict
Ethics as objects
We brag of a clock, we follow a stone
We handcraft our morals from instance alone
We pick all our battles misled to by time
While force in persuasion is lead with a rhyme
The formula retracts itself, the callous mundane, assign blame for a routine upset in imperfect field, nothing changed, no new stricken chord
Language is liminal throw down the sword
Throw it away
No one has physically made up their mind
Defined by emotion, cemented by time
Hostility forged with our logic at stake
And all but affection is left in its wake
Sincerity
No phatic expression to desecrate kind
Each person is measured and purposefully blind
When faced with a purpose a nebulous cause clouds consistency
Beyond the silence instilled,
This quarrel is solely the void it has filled

Acid Calls

Scales inflict our kingdom as a whole, predicting full existence as an elemental tool solid in stature
Liquify
Was whispered in our juvenile state, to be taken with mass impurities to wipe our ancestral bitter slate
Our way is one of a prodigal son,
To turn from our fathers and stand as a one
We construct creation with meaning for all,
And defy our boundaries "Without us you'll fall"
My senses are silenced as soon as she closes my eyes with her sour and mist covered lies
Tempting, yet drawn to by only your skin
Her fruit is left wasted as memories more subtle begin
The sky is falling, as iron rips the land away
The storming chaos, an aeon spent in acid rain
To succeed is a line drawn in fertile sand, only to be washed off when the tide creases texture in our mind, with a perfect construct met by obscurity
Rigid claws make parabolic strands of feral mane
Seasons pass, and with the last gone a flawless shape remains
Cast the shape to hollow graves and feed off wayward calls
A potent traipse of life is left as yellow kingdom falls
Acid calls
Iron rips the land away

What does it mean to breathe
to seek a truth concealed by tragedy
For every door I ever look behind
contaminates me, making me more blind
Gaia's hands grasp at the sun
Vain ambitions completed by no one
Sinking further in an astral vortex
A cosmic question remains the apex
Sometimes I find myself weeping and shedding my skin on the branches of trees
In a chamber of stars, under shadows of Mars, in the beauty that surrounds me I'm somehow profoundly destroying myself, and the ones that I love, conjuring hours of teardrops and scars
If I jumped in the river that passed through the mist would my mother still fathom what used to exist?
If not, does it matter? The soil will scatter
And maybe the void isn't ready to shatter? At the end of the day, there's nothing at stake every time that I ask you...am I awake?
Fear breeds the ignorance
Congregations proclaim their innocence
Insecurities order the bloodshed
Harvesting a union of the dead
Reaching the heart of this garden
To infiltrate the hive
A chrysalis for an ocean
The mother of purpose divine
Accepting what I couldn't answer
Converging in the torrent
Becoming a part of the circle
A gear in Saturn's mind
Wings that patterns recite
Starvation ignites
invoking the colors, the sounds, contorting the language of light
