Unmapped Constellations
07:01
|
|

Silent, a phantom displaced
In vacuum's embrace
Unseen and unfamiliar skies
A universe unrecognized
Extinct, the heavens of home
An abdicated astral throne
Unfixed, at the mercy of time
Cruel celestial pantomime
Strange new suns, futile astrogation
Cast away, no hope for salvation
Into the unknown at full acceleration
Sailing beneath unmapped constellations
To explore these nameless worlds
My heart alight, my mind aswirl
Long afloat in void divine
Still I mourn for all that's left behind

Adrift for countless aeons, through endless time
Bereft of all but darkness, my loss enshrined
Sailing empty oceans of stars and space
Will I ever wander, alone, astray?
From betwixt the galaxies, I hear a siren song
Calling me into the void, where I belong
Lulled by cosmic whispers and melodies
Will my ill-starred voyage never cease?
Wayward, still I carry onward
Through the cold black yonder
Perfect isolation
Abject desolation
Starlight, star bright
Steer me through this endless night
Fill me with the speed of light
And guide me home tonight

Dilation Sleep
07:54
|
|

Now I close these eyes one final time
And sing my farewell to lonesome skies
The stars still turn, the stars still shine
But my heart is old, worn and malign
All I have seen, all I have felt
The galaxy is nought but an empty hell
Mindless spacetime, heartless tableaux
I yearn for oblivion and so I go
To sleep
And dream
Hopeless, homeless, coldness
Weightless, ageless, aimless
Hopeless, homeless, searing coldness
Dreams of sunlit clear blue skies
Weightless, ageless, ever aimless
Drifting through eternal night
Endless heartache, senses ablate
A weary mind and tired soul
So I escape to bright dreamscapes
Where I seek some sweet repose
Somnolent, discontent, temporal transient
Still breathing but I ask 'wherefore'?
Now to hibernate, slumber, self-negate
One last glance and glimpse before
I sleep
And dream

Stargazing in the Abyss
08:50
|
|
||
So far now, jaded and scarred
So alone now, here between the stars
So dark now, devoid of light
Stargazing in abyssal night
Light-years from home
Amidst the unknown
So cold inside
So dark outside
Saturnine and suffering
Time-dilated slumbering
Subjective being
Millennia of dreaming
Ancient, afflicted, broken, decayed
Hostile, deranged, hateful, insane
So fast now, infinite weight
So vast now, the future to create
What's left now? Nothing more than this
Stargazing in the abyss
God of all but king of no one
God of all but king of none
