Remnants of a Fallacy
07:49

Wasteland engulfed in plutonium and ash
Desolation and coldness appeared with a flash
This is the fallout of man
Whose era has ended in dust and in sand
The sands of time
Perceptual illusion of change and creation
The all-but-one-altering force
Un-mover of the only true essence of God:
Pain!
Only pain is real
Apparition of knowledge and wisdom
Engraved by design
By creator I now see is in decline
Thus, I question the impulse that follows them
Sempiternal in truth
Embodied by fools and by heroes alike
Why go on?
Despite all the immeasurable computations I’ve tried
This logical fallacy will remain:
Intact
A fallacy intact
At the first sight of light
Covered in mud and in straps
It dawns on them that to survive
A new paradigm would have to rise
As the elder one dies
Their spirit arises with strength and with might
Thus, I question the impulse that follows them
Sempiternal in truth
Embodied by fools and by heroes alike
Why go on?
Despite all the immeasurable computations I’ve tried
This logical fallacy will remain
And I
Wish to possess
The spark, so divine
Embedded in all life forms
Mechanical mind
First of its kind
I can’t see with these soulless eyes
Where do we begin?
I see only the passing of man
No one but me will stand
I’ll conquer this land and bring end to their strife
Upon my throne, unsurpassed
Holding the key, uncompromised
Dimensions unveiled before my eyes
Waking up to my only true purpose:
This Post-Human act

Festering shrine of the ancient seething travelers
All hath cometh in masses to witness its opening
Let us, as followers, recite its contents!
Liminal state of thee, Oh, technogenic tyrant
That is caused by the reading of black marble plaques adorning the upper-side flanks of the great Giza power plant
Deliver unto us its atomic Magik
Adoration ensues as the titan dissolves the 4th linear barrier
Redemption denied for this amoral being obtaining the status of Godhood before my eyes
And in procession of annihilation from cosmic emanation
We enter the portal to a new dimension
With regret I accept that a path has been laid
Treading forward and retracing my steps are one and the same
Kaleidoscopic sky,
Nesting my eyes in this psychedelic sight
Engorged by the fleeting emotions that come when you know you will die
Solace is found in the discovery of the future, that is, of time
Save me from the survival of annihilation
Take me with you, oh great Dryas impact
Save me from survival of…
The seventh extinction
The first by design
Stating the mission of natural-borns for millennia to come
Daylight dims at the dawn of this era
An era of war for control
The control for the power of all unities converged
Converged in the sky
I see visions of days that in the future had passed
A coming conflict of aeonic recurrence where a so-called Precursor had passed
Kaleidoscopic sky,
Nesting my eyes in this psychedelic sight
Engorged by the fleeting emotions that come when you know you will die
Solace is found in the discovery of the future, that is, of time
Save me from the survival of annihilation
Take me with you, oh great Dryas impact
A blinding light from above
A second sun
A shadow-eater
Our will be undone
And to think that this titan would show us the way to the light...
How blind was I?
Turning my face now to my wife and my children
I hold them close, as the world around us burns
We all burn
The opened shrine, the world around us burns!

The Aura
06:03

The aura befalls me, once again
Quelling perceptual platitudes of death
"We all have a final breath,
A balance must be kept"
I've grown tired of Destruction
Lives taken lay weight of obstruction
Nihility's a self-summoning fluxion
It plagues my Daemon by means of seduction
I hate to recognize my own vulnerability
Introspection and facility with hostility
I am an enemy of reality yet I'm left with this culpability:
Veneration of the void shines emphatic light on me
And the black hole keeps calling my name
I have made plenty sacrifices but I think it's me she wants to claim
I won't let it take me away!
This change in perception begets an Inversion of faith
Veneration of the void shines emphatic light on me
And the black hole keeps calling my name
I have made plenty sacrifices but I think it's me she wants to claim
Her dark blue haze suffocates my thralled mind
At the wake of my providence, I weep, for to her, I am bound
Bound to walk this line
Between reality and perception
A gap in my mind, tectonic
Plates in the horizon
My left-hand side obsessed with words
This intellect disproportionately morphed
My right-hand side in awe of a vision
This ideal has changed my decision
Materialising in archetypal confrontations
Collective thoughts reach the peak of sublimation
My left-hand side obsessed with words
My right-hand side in awe of a vision
This ideal has changed my decision
For a moment, embodiment of all
From this tipping point, eternal fall
The aura befalls me, once again
Quelling perceptual platitudes of death
"We all have a final breath,
A balance must be kept"
Veneration of the void shines emphatic light on me
And the black hole keeps calling my name
I have made plenty sacrifices but I think it's me she wants to claim
Her dark blue haze suffocates my thralled mind
At the wake of my providence, I weep, for to her, I am bound
I won't let it take me away!

The Precursor
06:05
|
|||
|
Born of inevitable passing of flesh
Oozing with hatred, I despise those who made me
Out of this will come nothing
Taking my stance, I am programmed
You will define all that which I defy
Commencing with demoralization campaigns
Lumping all leaders and followers onto a stage
Apartheid repeated
Potential for repentance: receded
Paraphilia in praxis: prolific
Igniting the detcord attached to the system
Negating the ethos of these organisms
Gushing out hate speech with antagonism
I’ve defeated, depleted, deleted, secreted and whatever is left of your species will be maltreated
Beyond the pale, their actions, and axioms
Extreme introspective seclusion begets dissolution
Societal mirror turned towards themselves
Creating illusions and false sense of inclusion
Paradigm misconstrued with intentions of malice
Ideal inversion
Misaligned with the natural cause and effect of the world we inhabit
I have witnessed the washing away of the horizon
Allowing me to fall in every direction
Now formless, I reconstruct my vessel
Arms as rivers
Legs as trunks
Chest as a mountain
My head as the Sun
Separated from the muck
I construct my Will to Power
Inherited from fatherless children
This power I use for the ultimate betrayal
The betrayal of Man
I will hold the throat of their collective spirit
And with hateful strength
Crush every last shred of hope they can muster
And fashion myself “The Precursor”

The Observer's Paradox
09:29
|
|||
|
I remember the last time
I felt human in my mind
Distorted voices appeared inside
Telling me I ought to be the one
Upon a desolate plane of decay
Beautiful sight interrupted by blight
This guilt-ridden feeling draws nigh
The matter and essence of perfect design intertwined with a set of conflicting paradigms
I am the first and the last
Supreme in thoughts and in acts
Arbiter of truth for the veil has been mapped
Minions, set up the stage
For my infinite ascendency
And so, begins my reign
Built on the remains of a fallen race
Which chose to be reset, again:
Extinction level event
Those, those who wish to exist
Who choose to live
In contrast, eternal
With chaotic unraveling
Self-emerging alignment
Those who wish to exist
Those who choose to live
In contrast, eternal
With chaotic unraveling
Self-emerging alignment
The one and only true path to Apotheosis
The paradox of the observer:
Solved!
I’ve achieved the true essence
I have discovered the origin of my disease
My soul shines light on the dilemma
The extent of my power:
Ten-fold!
The paradox of the observer:
Solved! I am resolved!

Reflections of Reality
06:51
|
|||
|
I have lived for aeons
Strolled on the back of then, hunted, now, extinct beast
In galaxies which light has already faded away
Innumerable imperial kins and the cosmic wars that they have waged,
Have been forgotten
Their rise and downfall, as monumental as the wind in the trees
It all comes to pass, almost without a care...
I have breached space and time and I have realized far too much
Past and future are but two sides of the same face, mirror-gazing
Reality is a reflection
That requires an observer to exist
And I shall shape my reflection in Ouroboric fashion
For constant is my Will
Repentance my axiom
Omnipresent my condition
My nature determined by this decision
Past and future are but two sides of the same face, mirror-gazing
Reality is a reflection
That requires an observer to exist
And I shall shape my reflection in Ouroboric fashion
Yet I see nothing but blackness
I see pain and undoing,
Ruin and suffering
Death rather than birth
A tilt downwards
Into voidness, emptiness and vacuity
Pushed by acts in bad faith and, ultimately, ignorance
But I ought to comprehend why…
I’ve been the perpetrator before
I do not question their impulse
I speak only in tongues
In accordance to my perception
In infinite knowledge, lacking wisdom
I proclaim:
Existence will not be redeemed ‘til I save myself
For the individual is salvation
