1.
The main sequence is ended then death becomes life, diffused upon emptiness, spreading divine light. Generating the sphere The light decays into life and we are but death embodied in flesh. Generating the sphere From a distance, and through the lens of time, Chaos seems still. Generating the sphere Our future foretold by clouds in the void, behind their beauty lies their violence. In this place anything that grows is dying. In this place anything that dies is growing. What's left of us will change Forged by violence and shaped by pain We only exist in body.
2.
We're all as dead, as burned out, as the stars that shine above our heads. We may shine as bright and as blinding as the sun before we die. Yet mere points are, in time and in space, and the sum of all of us is not enough to illuminate the darkness, the ever-growing darkness. Hide. From our past mistakes Hide.From the night sky Burn yourself to illuminate the night Feeling nearly human, but not quite Dig down deeper to escape the day Drown yourself in soil, let the sky fade away. Not all shall die and cease to shine before their light has reached our eyes. But the night sky glows with faded echoes from long ago weary from their journeys. And so to shall we, in time and in space, traverse infinity merely hoping to illuminate the darkness, the ever-growing darkness

Dead 04:34
A life so aimless A death so painless I dreamt I disappeared A world so cold A fate foretold I dreamt I disappeared Existence so small Anger so raw I dreamt I disappeared dead empty fucking shell you weak lowly beast ran away from yourself again again breathless still empty shell you meek lonely beast lived and died by yourself that's all that's all dark fading lifeless stone you broken loathsome beast become again yourself become again
4.
Bury me In a cold shallow grave Beneath concrete I don't deserve to ever be found I got paralyzed by the weight of time And no one could save me
5.
Stillness 06:41
I am nothing, Save for blood. Only the earth Will ever take me in. I will nothing, Save for life. Only time Will ever take it away. When the sun rises Who will awaken? What of the poor few Who remain dreaming? What do they dream If not nothing? Do they remember The way the wind blows? I know nothing, Save for mind. Only the void Will ever take it in. I feel nothing, Save for light. Only the way It illuminates me. Build a cage Build a cage and crawl inside Await the flames Give up Deadened myself to all I've been Nothing flows through me Deafened myself with my own screams Becoming one with stillness
6.
The ever fading din of our heartbeats, a somber dirge of failing flesh, the final echoes of man, resonate into empty space. The sound of our end barely more than a whisper... And this is the moment Everything ends Peel back the skin from bone Expose our hollow shells We exist In the space between life and death Left all alone to face the cold Pull back the flesh and free the soul Will we have left an everlasting mark? Will our lifeless bones remain to show the beats of our hearts? Will the things we built leave a message for the ages? ...that we were once here? ...that anything was here?
7.
Ive seen the color drain from my eyes The world went grey because of it A consequence of pride Is watching your body die We are weak And all too aware That we don't belong here Prepare yourself for ascension Perpare yourself to go
8.
Desperate. Tearing at the fabric. Searching for a place to hide. Stars spiral around me They give themselves to me So light like A flame shows the way down Man and void shall meet I fall in With the last breath I take I scream Destroyed with the light I burn Then I rise again Reborn with the night. There is no hope here
