Gnosis

Bright Sun, light of the mind
Gift us clear-sighted understanding
In darkness we lament your absence
Telluric spectacles of sublime destruction
Inspiring fearful homage
Borne from godly volition
Raining justice down upon us
Torment consecrates all mortal life
Hallowed idols fashioned by pained hands
Blood, honour, devotion, sacrifice
Cyclic motion
Accelerating contradictions
The veneration of truth and progress
Dragging us toward cosmic indifference
The roots of Gnosis beget poison flowers
Seeds sown aeons ago
Now come to fruition
Once sacralized ritual traditions
Self-immolating

Memories of Silence
04:18

We will raise oceans of cast metal
Stone valleys of infinite breadth
Endless corridors of shining glass mirrors
Our towers will impale the heavens
Molten stacks line ashen skies
For a cherished promise of salvation
New Babel rising
Rising beneath our feet
Its lifeblood
Our insatiable gluttony
Memories of silence crushed into dust
By gnashing mechanical teeth
Serenity long forgotten
Inhuman voices resound in the skull
Contemplation drowned out completely
Thoughts harnessed by technique
Bone and muscle burrowed
Burrowed by wires
Sullen eyes pierce atmospheric murk
Wood, and sky, earth, water, and wind
Barren, yet teeming, teeming with filth
To where will our masses be scattered?
To where are we condemned to wander?
Eden, once living now defiled
No haven awaits our return
