Despite Exile
Album • 2015
Gaping the eternal eye A colder sun is rising Dawning creator I have emerged to pose this world As the crowning milestone on the path of reason Born from unending dissension Prime and sole mover First and last sovereign form Feeding on paradoxes Insurmountable principle of truth Empowering matter with will All things shall exist throughout my view From this frozen orb I witness the disrupting atoms of cancer That stream in the veins of human despair I'll restore the sacrеd order I'll suture the scar of this tеrrestrial forgetfulness I will seal the wounds I will seal this insignificance I am primordial vengeance For all ages to come Descry me, for I never was Recall me, for I was here all along Designing the origin and the doom of all I scaled every mountain And slain every god I am the constant transcendence of every thought Craving every glimpse of life to enforce my decree Devouring gaze of Leviathan Bathing in blood of rotten divinities I am an act forever lost

Submit to this hollow structure We've been conceived within empty signs Tied to a master-signifier Self-replicating masks for the void, is all we are Our existence united in a painful contortion Swarming like maggots, enduring as an ode to nonsense That we are forced to repeat through every single act The myth of creation The strife for determination The ever-lasting clash to outreach alienation Projecting our slavery onto cosmic scales Bound to live through unceasing anguish We are the wretched servants of a headless tyrant Forever hiding, forever standing as our spectral counterpart The curse of sight has made us perceive unfathomable glances Constantly obsessing the concept of self Sentience is but a horde of eyes Chasing us through the glass of our minds Face the perpetual contradiction Of beholding life as voiceless spectators Trapped in this conscious inertia We witness the grin of necessity There is no escape, for there is no enemy Only a plague can save us I am the eye itself Only the fire can purge us I am the eye itself

Encircled the struggle The wound has been sealed I have been called to operate a superior synthesis Condemned to unrestraint Forced to shape the otherness From which I was produced One and manifold Dwelling in endless alterity I am the act of contemplating an infinite self An all reflecting stare A consciousness refracted through multiple patterns That flows in the intersections of every scheme I have withdrawn from life Abandoned the world To let it exist as its own parallax Caught in a static ascension to absolute Embracing divergent polarities I now perceive the unbridgeable distance That founds the endless fragments of the whole Ever-present, ever-aware Invisible harmony Arose as a flux of pure intensity Synolon of chaos and form I am the self-emptying substance and subject Perfected in solipsism Yet engulfed by a sea of ravages I am forlorn Have I reached the void to go further beyond? I shall eclipse the orb I shall descend

A dim light conceived to set Invading these gelid grounds A stillborn prophet descends the mountains Forsaking symmetry in urge to act Our possibilities were consumed The mirage of balance finally traversed First as tragedy, then as farce I rejoin with all creatures To trigger the epilogue We are the unconscious poison That sparks the corrosion of every pure image We are the immanеnt rupture That forces horizons to collapse Dismantling visions for еntities to come We are the terminal negation In order to affirm Feast on your idols Feast on your messiahs Feast upon me I offer a body to be dismembered For this oracle to be achieved The orb dissolves by the sands of fate To conquer truth is to wither sight Trace the line upon our eyes I am catastrophe

In the beginning was Silence Perceive the echoes of matter Cutting across multiplied dimensions We've stood firm through devastation The bond is now broken We were tied to an origin That was lost all along Eventually authors of inexorable outcomes Yet called to accomplish a closing gesture We've found ourselves undone in blindness Still we've grasped the intuition of a senseless universe Searching for a finale underneath our eyelids We shall transcend extinction In retrospect we'll laugh of our tragedy Our deeds will reunite with the dust of the ages As we place a stone upon time itself Our doom is deconstructed Dualities are forever overcome Abolish distinctions between chaos and form What we had we have left behind Purged from desires of deliverance We are free to torch the meadows in our minds Admiring dissipation while memories ignite Symbols reconvert and dissolve These words are fading Ultimately we submerge Separate from light Defy unconscious And sever the archetypes No Gods, no Saviours No Man, no Nature Dare to lacerate the eternal eye Endlessly impermanent Infinitely void All is uncreated We have chosen to disperse We are no more
