Amidst these erected concrete wastelands
That your footsteps plow to sow your barren dreams
As well as those stellar shipwrecks flickering afar
That drifts in the idle, perfunctory current of the ages
And amidst this stumbling procession of thoughts and lives,
And worlds and broken fingernails:
DUST
Yes, amidst all this, it came to pass
That Eternity was stolen
And punctuated.
The ABYSS awoke and spoke its' name
Piercing the breath of the soul and the tissue of time
A steel-eyed Horror nailing History's scalp
Upon the crooked crux of all destinies aligned
A spark in the alley of dry ash trees
Stretching out into meaningless obscurity
Uprooted and aflame at the end of this grave descent
At the absolute nadir of the firmament
As Everything out from Nothing became Something
Or Something out from Nothing became Everything
The feral winds flee the fetching hand yet
Ever in a moment God bends beneath my tongue
And say:
I AM THAT I AM. AM I THAT I AM. I THAT AM I AM.
THAT I AM I AM. AM THAT I I AM. THAT AM I I AM.
I AM I THAT AM. AM I I THAT AM. I I AM THAT AM.
I I AM THAT AM. AM I I THAT AM. I AM I THAT AM.
I THAT I AM AM. THAT I I AM AM. I I THAT AM AM.
I I THAT AM AM. THAT I I AM AM. I THAT I AM AM.
AM THAT I I AM. THAT AM I I AM. I AM THAT I AM.
Amidst this funeral sty that you claim to be your home
And amidst this yawning chasm of silence that you've flooded with your moans
Now - here: Nowhere
Death unlocks like a blazing charm of
Uncoiled. Dawn. Star.
... And traceless lightning
Traceless lightning between all that "must" or "ought"
- IS
That your footsteps plow to sow your barren dreams
As well as those stellar shipwrecks flickering afar
That drifts in the idle, perfunctory current of the ages
