Impending Doom
08:39
|

All creation begins with a moment of becoming
Where one’s [a new, a unique] nature is crystallised
Closing a loop from impossible distal ends
Where the Maiden lay in a cave
Hidden for fear of paradox
As a realist in a corporeal world
Default position disbelief
But with the breakdown of cohesion
War for reason lost
There is nothing new under the sun
All fates resigned
Cyclic history, weary observation
Common themes malign
If you are in search of the next profound philosophy
Enter overwhelming disappointment
Prepare for defeat
Almost see the horrors yet to come written by blood in the shifting sands
Will our mission bring peace or something else about
Could it be that I am the future of man?
A once woken giant forced into slumber again
The path to isolation deepens its sleep
Converging on the prize sparks firefight
Cannot shake the feeling of impending doom

Pre-Emptive Strike
03:13
|

Proxy war escalates, paranoia as tensions mount
Cornered and pinned down; threat level rise
The worst traits will out; hellish backdrop
The perfect storm gathers
To be faced by we raiders of a new ark
The cause could be followed back to a slowly
building avalanche
Forging a wealth imbalance from an awkward
unsustainable dance
Racing in ill-advised fashion
power play - pre-emptive strike
Here is ground zero
Conflict epicenter
Freedom fighter
Eritrean
Flight from danger
She lead the way
Saviour feminine
power vacuum
pre-emptive strike

Harness the Engine
03:30
|

Now extracted to relative safety; chance to take stock and unlock a new mystery
Born of an enigma; layers of secrets to peel away
Rarely do things transpire in the way that they were planned
From obsession with the cosmos, you will come to understand
Humbled before an origin that sprang from no hand but chance
What about the light that shone from the desert, beamed across the Earth?
You mean that tale of ignorance that fanatics then usurped?
Yet real complex systems are not static structures to collapse
So here we are, at odds, yet bound together
As pieces of the puzzle fall into place; discover who we are at the core
External resources, the saving grace; harness the engine

Post Everything
06:10
|

Emerged from a temporal vortex
Alone and confused, ripped from a tomb
Salvaged from the edge
Fused with machine, no reversal or reprieve
Trapped by what I will forever be
Even the smallest fear can be amplified
by the void within
Matter reassembled and impurities
become creeping sin
Through the gate that sealed my fate
Genesis of my ruin
Cast down to Earth
From the brink of victory
Never knew the end of my own story
Reborn as the mage of god in answer to their prayers
My mission manyfold as the enemy is revealed
They want a new prophet?
I will give it to them
Confirmation bias
Fortified by the caressing power of worship
Resolve that comes from purpose
My coronation in flames
It was a mistake for Her to make room where there
was none
The disorder of chaos within has delivered me undone
I, the adversary, will see the traitor dead
Pave the way for overhaul, in a post everything world

Ice and Awe
07:19
|
|||
Unremarkable rock in space
Akin to Earth as it was in the first place
Untapped reserves that would serve
to render material worth obsolete
Ice and ore
Imagine if on that scale
it were shared by all
It would collapse a flawed economy
and reconstruct the foundation of
Society
Is it too little too late?
Waiting past that point -
No option but to break
A black swan
Whose face was never masked
Gathered up to strike
with full force at last
This second trick more esoteric
Walk the quantum bridge
Clairvoidance-tech will predict
To avert annihilation
Detect an impact by a pre-echo
Across time
In isolation we will save mankind
Through ice and awe!

Eye of Darkness
04:03
|

Unpredictable loop
Past and future, the flipside
Framed by the present edge
Time, the delusion we comprehend
Murder incarnate
Malevolence in physical form
Equal and opposite
Will come a dream or memory of the unborn
The gift of sight
Clouded and clear
Over the horizon
The void beyond
Spherical shield
Staring into the eye of darkness
Transfixed
It must be the eye of god
The showdown had been conceived
On the basis of a lie
Given over to the fire
Now servant to The Eye
Staring into the Eye of Darkness

Golden Age
06:08
|
|||
As witches once reviled by the authority that stood to lose
I found myself in the same vacuum, in a brief moment of clarity
Before the void swallowed the last trace of my identity
Yet out of this, born from a single powerful dream
Split from torment and willed into being
While what we left behind is rebuilt in time
Flood the Earth with abundance
The old paradigm will perish
Enlightened by a beacon of knowledge
Shining upon the weary world
All it takes is a mindshift to see the circle turning
At the speed of life
In return: all we ask is that you must simply learn
As always we stand on the shoulders of giants
To see a big picture, in overview
Arc of the Earth, outlining our home
...for at least a billion more years to come
The majestic roll of circling centuries begins
Astraea returns, as would Saturn's reign,
With a greater phase - a new golden age
