Arrival

A herald for the ancient ones
Caresses my mind with whispers
Their arrival beckoned by gloom
Foreshadowing our extinction
A deep madness plagues our race
Invading, pervading
The very nature of our thoughts
Hope exists, formless in the air
Lingering outside our grasp
We shed our skin
So our minds may bathe in light
The beat of my heart echoes eternal
Pulsing throughout the will of all
Lest our souls become devoured
Consumed by the awakened blight
For their path is unobstructed
And they bring eternal night
Wake me from this dream, I suffer
My spirit reaches out in desperation
To the intangible essence of life
But my screams are met with silence
Let those who stir from their ancient sleep
Sleep again, in my arms, with peace.
Release your fire, and harmonise
My children, assembled now
No escape as we’re embraced
Humanity has been replaced
Eyes pierce the veil of flesh
And hands become the mothers of stars
Let viridescence spread to every corner
Let every edge of the universe breathe with me

Infinite

Hallways twisting within the mind
Beckoning the arrival of the lost
Cloaked in a myriad of crimson thoughts
Portals to the infinite are now manifest
Blinding light weeps from their edges
Their reflections become your dreams
Gates to realities beyond comprehension
Unfurl their arms in invitation
Phantoms dispelled in all directions
Unparalleled knowledge bearing clarity
We are the genesis of infinite worlds
Giving birth with every thought
Under our guise are those who perish
Siblings of the lords that rise from the ash
The seeds of your thoughts once planted
Gave rise to fruits which became the key
Hollow shells borne of ignorance
Now vessels of luminosity anew
We are ethereal architects
Our hearts are the sun and moon
Spheres of life are our children
We traverse the infinite as one
In a timeless dance of dreams
The temporal barriers undone
Bathed in lustrous hope
Bodies entwined, atoms aligned
Spirit and mind, we are unified
Entwined, my sanctuary nurtures
Erased is your pain
Resign, all humanistic values
And interlace with the arcane
We are the genesis of infinite worlds
Giving birth with every thought
Under our guise are those who perish
Siblings of the lords who rise from ash
In a timeless dance of dreams
The temporal barriers undone
Bathed in lustrous hope
Bodies entwined, atoms aligned
Spirit and mind, we are unified

Inside the living antechamber
All who breathe, breathe as one
Captives blessed by false freedom
Individuality forfeit at birth
The biosphere is in control
The organism of every soul
Amongst the countless frozen stars
All who speak, speak as one
Speaking unifying tongue
A life one lives is but a reflection
Of the one who meets their gaze
The heart of sentience spreads its wings
Undulating, radiating through us all
The tendrils of the hive mind
Within each and every thought
The biosphere is in control
The organism of every soul
Blessed by coalesced symbiosis
All who live, live as one
Embraced by a void of unity
Every being sharing destiny
Towards the sun our spirits soar
Empowering our life force more
Spirits abound like never before
Escaping to the cosmic shore
The heart of sentience spreads its wings
Undulating, radiating through us all
The tendrils of the hive mind
Within each and every thought.
The symbol of autonomy cast aside
Inside all thoughts does one reside
The scion of the impure assembled
Complete unity of the mind

Behind closed eyes a vision stirs
One of will lost to another
Channeled through ancient premonitions
Our fate from she who governs all
The sun shines naught but for her
The cold of night her dreary tears
Is my heart one born of hers?
Whose fate is held within my hands?
With open eyes a vision awakens
One of will made manifest
Defiant of ancient premonitions
Free from she who governs none
I lament over the death of self
I watch as my thoughts depart
The sun shines naught but for her
The cold of night her dreary tears
Is my heart one born of hers?
Whose fate is held within my hands?
Ashen deity of hellish chains
I refuse your cruel subjugation
I steer my vessel, clear of blight
The map, my own exhausted hands
So time decrees, a second birth
To plant their dreams inside the earth
Bearing fruits free of deception
No longer slaves to surreption
Woe betide the one who claims
Another spirit’s salvation
The sun shines naught but for all
Now born, absent of fear
My heart is one born of mind
And fate is left to unseen lands
A kingdom born of unfettered hope
The key to entry, transcendence
Seen only through a sterile scope
I have built resplendence

Solus

This cave of thought is filled with doubt
Obscuring the lens of truth
Self-assurance is but a dreary comfort
Amidst this weary fabrication
Nameless faces and empty hearts
Wander aimlessly through the fog
The projection of my psyche, faltering
To perceive is to know incertitude
Distrust, cynicism my only guide
Reality manifests a false guise
Upon myself I now rely
No code save mine do I abide
The visage of life is smouldering
Once a land of untold promise
Yet falsities are stripped away
The desolation of empty truths
A steadfast soul does not retreat
There is sanctuary within
Unbound vision becomes the compass
To a land of eternal truth
Distrust, cynicism my only guide
Reality manifests a false guise
Upon myself I now rely
Seizing my truth of birthright
A steadfast soul does not retreat
There is sanctuary within
Unbound vision becomes the compass
To a land of eternal truth
Denial of an outside force
Alights the torch I bear alone
Navigation arrives through apprehension
And the tunnel winds, eternal
To trudge and bear the weight of self
Is veracity manifested
A timeless quest at my behest
External realms, rejected

Heart of a virus, centrifuge of life
Cultures privileged to manifest and perish
I am Gaia, primordial ancestor
Timeless entity, boundless life weaver
Upon my stage I witness love and war
This ageless space shall constantly transform
Childish mortal games yield no effect
Transcendent and pure, I am the architect
Existence, my gift, squandered
A temporal rift, wandered
In a sea of stars I drift, divine with fury
Mother of life, you are all mine
I speak with the voice of the storm
I hear through the whispers of trees
I feel with the flesh of the earth
I see through the eyes of all
None defy my omnipotent word
My allies are the resplendent herd
Give yourselves to my verdant embrace
As we sow the seeds of life through space
