Chasm

Under a broken sky
The heart bleeds dry
Solace weeps from the haze, its silent will unable to die
"You were warned", he read from the carvings in the stone
"Everything you fear, a chasm all your own to face alone. This darkness, your home"
Sinking into your mind, blind to see the way outside
Home is just a place to leave behind
"What we've got here is Christ, an assassin, the friend of horror....perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. My mission here is not to solve your petty squabbles. It concerns the existence of every last creature on Earth...but I must tell you in all honesty, the human race is gone. And now we're trapped by our own devices. Many of you are troubled by the concerns and anxiety....if only you can see what I've seen with your eyes. Deep thunder, mutations, graves....Oh, but that's all superstition! Let's get things nice and sparkling clear. He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing. Seek not to be like evil men. Can man control his destiny? Can he change the shape of things to come? We owe it to the brain of our species to stand here and die without destroying a source of wisdom. But there is nothing to fear, it is all clear. I just want to die peacefully."

Intrinsic Eclipse

Shadows that move in the dark
Eclipses the channels, neural connections
Blackened emphatic possession
Draining the marrow
Drowning in your eyes
The floodgates have failed us
A botched exorcism of darkness confined
The light will not make it through the chasm of the mind
Our voices are swallowed by the echoes
Aching to be heard again
Again you must face this chemical place
Existing to those all but dead
Memories of gleaming rays fading
Petrified in the wounds you hide
My fate existed before me
Dying to live, blinded inside
"A plague? A higher form, a face in the window. And now with what we've seen and what we know to be right back to the beginning with nothing. This is different. No it isn't."
Ancient myth will tell you, the journey cannot be made
The dead will serve to guide you, the artifact must be saved
Within you lies the answer, dreams and memories remain
Your wound existed before you, this life: your only fate
