The Black Wild Yonder
Until the last light goes out in the distant night My greedy thoughts won't let me rest Ere the letters have spilled onto the white This affluence of emotion bursting out of me Now I feel what it's like to lose daylight by the hour Unable to make sense of the bane of this sordid generation If all else fails, I shall claim the pantheon of my sacrifice Fir this play is set so far beyond all logic But my will in disregard of order is yet to be broken I'm not giving in to the harrowing surge of apathy There words are shaken from a restless mind Fathered by virtue at loss for life By a fate set in motion Their rapier's gleaming blade pointed at your heart It'll show you fear in a handful of swirling dust For I wish my words were free in the onset of your denial

In time there majestic doorways will crumble Insidious faces carving their names in stone Desperate not for the forgotten, a token of their vanity Nothing than a little lamplight in the coming storm To digress its emptiness No perspective and no greater matter at hand No, this is not the end of the world But you can see it from here Awaiting it in prospect of expiration Slow-motion progress led by time-lapse machines An eclipse of sudden, yet crawling in on us for ages To cover up this deceit The air is filled with the smell of fear and distress It is all too emblematic for this lasting state of emergency A cause so vain, admonitions born from guilt Living in a constant crisis, we're all caught in a loop This is not a telltale notion This is fiction, a mere equation Until one day you see with unclouded eyes the genuine rapture of human nature Sometimes I feel like the end of the road is just one step away Yet it is only another chapter to be told in time

They said we don't belong here Only dreaming our lives away So let all dreadful feeling subside And sustain the loss while suffering It is all just a means to an end So while these days hardly pass by This is all that is left of us And so we returned home To a place where the rain never ends To find shelter in this sorrow No, I'm not worth a single tear you cry Cause there's nothing left to say but goodbye I feel so broken and old, oh so empty inside Throughout all this misspent years I've lived All those wasted years yet to come The veil of conjuration slowly wearing thin For hours on end we ran And now I can feel we're just loosing touch With tired eyes I see your smiling face Slowly closing my eyelids to shut out the blight Suddenly the world I sense around me feels so black As we're drifting apart by time I still linger in the wake Without words And without screams Without meaning And without heart

A mere fallacy leads to despite Obliteration of matter and feelings A blurred border you do not dare cross A forgotten sanctuary you cannot claim The smoke of neglect slowly disperses Emitting submission to the society Questioning all that is given to you That gathering swarm of bliss ebbing in no time It's the end of that promising road It has come, your final end of days Enclose an extending dream of emptiness Lose your way, redefine your patterns of life Unfortold promises will lead into oblivion Your weak heart damaged beyond repair Burned out spirit, still smoldering in the dark Forever to be kept in this desolate state Your gleaming skin chilled by steady rain Slowly dissolving into the chaos of evocation It was a simple blink that turned day to night Pathetic, frail Broken and defeated You cannot live

The world ends with you, or so I thought The forfeiture of light and darkness at hand Moving on past rapture takes courage For I've yet to see beauty in passing A weary heart held captive Where a distant memory of you still remains Now in clear sight, right before my eyes I see you drifting away, cutting ties with the earth To no avail I stand in shackles of your departure Henceforth I scream to the sky No peace for your shattered soul For your journey has not come to an end You shall find our place of destination Beyond the confines of this world You did wander where nobody dares to tread And threw yourself upon a frail tether To smother what was left of life To feel a sense of closure in the palm of your head Slowly leaving hold of your faint notion of venture The lucid rain steals away the remainder of my torment For now I see beauty in passing For now we see beauty in passing Did your voice ever tell of delights For there will never be another waking hour in these eyes Yet there is still more day to dawn Arise my ravaged heart don't you fall aslumber Walk under groaning tree and open skies For you dare not stay too long where shadows fall

Tear don there walls we built to protect And withstand the need for resentment During the advent of all things to come Feel the friction of converging thoughts Forming into emotions, bringing us to the brink of our senses A charade of deduction we cannot grasp Meet me at the outer rim, at the end of consciousness Perpetuate those emotions, divulging all which defines us A contortion of spaces escaping far beyond our perception A systemic error of being giving birth to all of our actions There alignments now falling apart In order to break the barriers we once set up ourselves We are now passing the outer regions of our minds Answer my call for in the light we shall thrive Come again to your senses And set the impending inception of change

A longing deep inside like a smoldering fire Only to be suffocated by circumstances and relation Its smoke taking your sight, blinding your eyes Slowly your anticipation of the future is leaving In winters within you, nourishing on your pain and distress Until one day it eats you up from the inside Cast aside all useless trappings you wear And wallow in this euphoria for a moment For soon this sensation will cease And rationality will regain control Set again, the perception is sinking in Free for but a moment, bound for a lifetime A smile on your lips and the taste of blood on your tongue Ever so slightly you give in To the apprehension of consequence Weary have you become, tired of these iron bars Suddenly the flames are growing higher, swallowing the cinders and burning up the surface, your very substance Bursting out, your thoughts dwindle and instinct takes over resulting in a temporary loss of reason Adherent of devoid the defeat turns into a rancid emotion To give birth to another impulse of rapture Over the years and through the tears These feelings will fester Until the growing despair sends out sparks again "For all good things are wild and free"

Hauling the nets of death Hoisting blindness from the deep To feed a billion mouths who do not care Who will not stop or dare Devastate an environment formed a million years ago Tearing a hole into the planet After decades of decadence, centuries of exploitation there is not much left And who are we to break the chain Who are we to reign what cannot be reigned An upcoming extinction, our world's demise And as the waves arise and engulf the kings There is still no clarity Open up the depths, enlighten the abyss To realize what there is to come As they rise up we fall back A collective mind lingers in eternal darkness And they look up to see the surface Shades of the unsuspecting enemy Harvest until our very end The sea sharpens its armory To give up what it created long time ago And drown mankind in nothingness Open up the depths, enlighten the abyss To realize what there is to come without symbiosis, we fall back

Time bending itself out of shape Merging with nothing, so nothing remains Coordinates shifting, dragged out of sight Devoured and deleted A violent anomaly defying existence Disabling recognition to swallow all information A glitch in the grid of reality Like a ghost, remnant of a luminary Rushing towards the threshold of entropy Soon clad in darkness, enduring till the end of time But a shadow remains of all ontology Only a radiation aura, reverberating Density growing beyond all proportions A singularity in universal equations Opposing to exceed the limitations of gravity Rushing towards the threshold of entropy Soon clad in darkness, enduring till the terminal state Until all mass has perished in blackness The ghost will remain, feeding on roving souls One last circumnavigation Dissipate at the event horizon Torn apart by the tides Drifting, shifting Time will end right here Space will end right now

A faint clap of thunder in the distance The Net Sphere long separated from reality A droning sound humming in the levels below All authority cut of from the hub A calamity wrecking havoc in its wake A gravitational discharge echoed through the hallways Breaching a path to escape this endless maze What is life to us lost in these endless mega structures We're pilgrims on our way to the edge of the unknown Towards the rumored end of all Builders randomly expanding the city Beyond extinction of mankind Millennia of uncontrolled growth Resulting in a Dyson Sphere at grandest scale Cancel the limiter to reach the surface To see the void beyond with our own eyes A testament to the human spirit For death may not be our only freedom No way to restore the lost world order So we flee from this hostile place Leaving a realm welled up with black tears Reaching out far into space An act of heroism, a final act of grandeur All the odem drained, all the hours used up
