the gateway

expand in consciousness.
tune in resonance.
down this path is the gateway
to discovery
through vibrational energy.
the true self awaits.
abandon the physical.
embrace the astral.
expand! rise!
you are the stargate.
the absolute in infinity.

consume! kill. hate. divide. die.
ask not of your origins beyond the sky.
concede! sleep. divert. breed. obey.
illusory paths will all end the same.
alone. forgotten. the ground beneath trodden
by infinite souls bearing your name
(wasting away).
covered. buried. obscured by leaves.
woodrot's stench the night air cleaves.
rising up to greet wanderers
(hopeless and oblivious).
preserving? impacting?
no!
fleeting. non-lasting.
ephemeral as the breath in your lungs.
wasted as the words from your tongue.

don the cloak.
mark the hand.
encase the body in sand.
level the enchanted lands.
replace the spirit of love
with lust for blood.
unfurl the sails?
loose the chains?
no!
confine them within flesh and brain
until only hatred remains
and we can harvest their energy again.

overthrown
02:17
|
|||
|
in this vast expanse
of cosmic haze.
oh disillusioned souls!
seekers of the past!
lost in the void.
where ancient echoes amass.
through the ruins of time
we wander alone.
unearthing the secrets
of empires overthrown.
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
burn them to the ground!
wipe them away
the structures we've found.
remember they were temporary.
built to be destroyed.
secondary. tertiary.
what of those that shall remain?
fabrics in which to venerate!
(and should they question the docks and moors? or gargantuan ceilings and tunnels and doors?)
designed by us. with purpose.
they shall question this no further.
instill this in them.
we shall desecrate their bones!
lock them in the catacombs!
we are not the inheritors.
but the single grand meritors.
speak not of the tartarians.
of the mud, flood, airships.
there is no before!
(no harnessing energy from the atmosphere).
they need us now, you see.
our purpose not to keep the peace.
but rather rewrite history!

expand
02:52
|
|||
|
do you really believe this is all you were destined to be?
after your physical matter is destroyed
and your name long lost to history
will you glow in pride at all you achieved?
or no matter what will your fate match what all others will be?
expande mentem, tuum superius te exspectat.
expand!
arms outstretched into the absolute black
with only the void to call you back.
you are energy.
not silence but peace.
|

|
repent? to whom? some discrete diety?
the lucid mind does not create - it receives.
the purpose of sense, thought, dream
to apprise the great universal divinity
that lives within you.
that dwells within me.
there is no plurality.
awaken! converge! you have no enemy!
a strange voice? a soft face? warm flesh?
echo! mirror! graft!
you are the huntress.
the prey.
you are the horror.
the glee.
report back to me!

foretelling eons
04:08
|
|||
|
take heed!
the numen you seek, that you dedicate your mind
is a confluence of history
foretold by mankind.
of lands by floodwaters sodden.
residing in realms forgotten.
craft once common and manifest
buried within stone now at rest.
cultures! myths! languages! laws!
resting beneath your feet.
as you grasp your palms
praying for a future you will never meet.
