lyrics

What man am I?
In the ether before the stroll began
What man am I?
Still unforeseen was this dead end
Upon my trail anticipate
Distract from the beauty of sight
So very fleeting
I would that my eyes see black
Cowled robe concealing
Till man stepped forward from the pack
The plot most grand draws to a close
Come now abhorrent subduction sanctified

Pass into nothing
Holy demise
Sweet relief my prize

The craftsman dwells
A mired smock obscures his splendor
Selfdom to swell
Biding as life’s own imperator
Cold breath caress the wilted face
Beyond this day grasped in skeletal embrace
Alone we did enter
Alone we withdraw

Crown’s glimmer fades
With oxidation’s stain
Throne bends to time
Turned casket for the grave
Faultless Moirai
Drawing next rulers’ rise
King abdicates
Deposed to starless night

These comely three inviting
“Follow me to nought indefinitely”

Nonentity
Earth’s curtain an absurd prelusion
Nihility
From birth to farce to bleak conclusion
Could one yet fathom nonbeing?
Soul death: a viewing of our extinction

Conceived pre-will
So take the reigns
Enjoy the ride
Leading to the cliff’s edge

Logical perception, the terms of my being
Embracive nothingness beyond the unforeseen

[Aaron solo]

Crown’s glimmer fades
With oxidation’s stain
Throne bends to time
Turned casket for the grave
Faultless Moirai
Drawing; next rulers rise
King abdicates
Deposed to starless night
