lyrics

It dies and will not live again
What was there before will not mourn

It’s all
That’s gone
It’s been here
Through all

As Above
So Below

Around
Enfold

An assumed sense of purpose, in chaos
A purpose invented.
Arrogance in our inception
Creation, Destruction, Absolution
Imbalanced equations
Paved the way for our existence

There was nothing in the sky
There was nothing here before
Nothing will be here when we’re gone
An emptiness complete

A heaven filled with swirling gas
A heaven devoid of final truth
A heaven that does not welcome us
A heaven forged in chaos

(One of the many mistakes we make is that we give purpose to our observations, We assume that what we can see is here for our benefit, and for our consumption.

Mixed with the constant belief that ‘the end is near’, this has led to rampant over population and a disregard for those who will be here beyond our lifespan, a span of time that is neither recoverable nor repeatable, either through a belief in an afterlife or reincarnation.

The universe is indifferent to our existence. It does not have a plan of creation because it’s movements are dictated by gravity and time. Rest assured there is no such thing as “God”, there there is no reason for existence other than the one you’ve created for yourself.)

The light in the blackness
Is hurled out from star

Your island in the madness
Will break down.
Time and space combine
Perception gone in time.
No More Reason
No More Logic
All Is Gravity
All Is Time

A silence, perfected
A longing, in my bones
Cessation Of Life
To be gone without a trace
Beyond the human race

But there will not be emptiness
In desolation there’s a form
That was never here for us
And will be here when we’re gone.
