Extinguished Cold Light
The architect played the cards Raised empires destroyed Like tides over sand castles in empty shores Fires burning the atmosphere Collapsing scenes once approached to perfection Unstable and static In the verge of the fall Praying - humanity in fear avoiding the new cycle to come Godspeed! Stumbles in sympathy bending the knee at the new dawn Elemental chaos Unnatural madness unto the void Is the fate of infinity to converge at its start again? Praying - humanity in fear avoiding the new cycle to come Godspeed! Stumbles in sympathy bending the knee at the new dawn "Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity" (Willian Butler Yeats, Ireland 1919) Pull far away the entity hidden in devoid of emotion Recognize the fear, perpetually revealing your soul Praying - humanity in fear avoiding the new cycle to come Godspeed! Stumbles in sympathy bending the knee at the new dawn Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world!

Darkening creativity Silence that seeks absolute space No faith, no ideas No expressions from the materialism in the incorporeal Let’s behold together the dissolution of the atom And the amount of conscience that you receive is faded now There’s no transcendentalism Spiral moon No reincarnation Spiral moon Dissolution from the future When utopia takes form What is real lacks of sharpness Overthrowing egos with basic proposals You live in the absurd You’re wrapped in the guise of metaphysical ethics There’s no capacity for creation Particles rearrange Spiral moon No reincarnation Spiral moon Dissolution from the future

Beyond flesh and bones In the eternal shimmer of conscience Is there any life inside? In the fields of self-contemplation I have waited long enough To know, to be certain Of the sapience which lies within Of these recollections as a whole An attempt to define An attempt to be human I have experienced the ability To feel pain, fright, and sorrow In eyes capable of seeing me I have lived the connection With the light that falls from the sky With the uneven skin of the soil It's everything and all of it Which strikes the spark And lights the fire Inside of this shell An attempt to define An attempt to be human Is there any life inside? In the fields of self-contemplation I have lived the connection With the light that falls from the sky With the uneven skin of the soil

Shadows Compel to reap frontiers Tearing My essence hidden in the fog Witness! The rise and fall Subdued to A prison inside This plane Surrounded by illusions Foreseeing The eternal turn of the wheel Hope’s now a sterile garden, where the soulless roam In solitude, we try to escape Silent self-harm, as decadent religion Grows on while our will to live... decays Shadows Compel to reap frontiers Tearing My essence hidden in the fog Hidden in the fog

Extension of failure Dissolution beneath the eye The fall of the temple Deconstruction, enlightened by the night The enemy has drowned on indulgence Crawling on decadent remains Visions of agony Restless Oblivion Gently tearing my veins apart Pouring the tragedy The enemy has drowned on indulgence Crawling on decadent remains Woe gnaws our spirits Bleakness corrupting the fate Insidious reflection: the past time World breathing woe Bleeding on landscapes of dusk Mourning days Speechless embracing the pain Speechless embracing the pain World breathing woe Bleeding on landscapes of dusk Mourning days Speechless embracing the pain
Electrical impulses Going the distance Emerging consciousness Fragile existence Agony leads the way To an entropy state Where time has no place And no moment remains Continuous absence of light Vanished in the blink of an eye Every dawn Every dusk Fading Forever lost Shades of red Over the heads Fading Insignificance upon us Agony leads the way To an entropy state Where time has no place And no moment remains This fleeting transcendence Fades into the dark Extinguished cold light For eternal is the night Purpose is futile When life is a day In a thousand lifetimes In a billion aeons In the vastness of infinity In a vain speck of dust Every dawn Every dusk Fading Forever lost Shades of red Over the heads Fading Insignificance upon us

Mirrors exposing what eyes cannot see The empty shining was left behind Beauty contrasted on the eternal horror What’s real is now but a storm Imagination Cannot conceive The deluge in our hearts Opened to infinity Vortex downwards the earth’s reflection The righteous chaotic hand of god Juxtaposed universe The seed of evil The seed of evil Juxtaposed universe Isolated by the void But tangible as I cross the line Mirrors exposing what eyes cannot see This old empty shining was left behind Beauty contrasted on the eternal horror What was real is now but a storm Juxtaposed universe The seed of evil Juxtaposed universe So tangible as I cross the line
