In the beginning there was life and death an opposing consciousness in an infantile reality - to wander these patterns - never for long, yet these were to be Walls that ruptured! As the pendulum gathers momentum - back and forth! frames within are shaken and a layer revealed - once enshrouded, bursting through! and in the distant mist came forth a fiery agent of enlightenment! Harsh was the awakening, as the sun shone into eyes that had been held in utter darkness; for sudden came sickness! and on horse followed DEATH! All order cease as we are cast down the funnel that holds all truth - and chaos ensues! To you; who dare not speak its name who fear to understand and tear apart the veil, I utter the word! FIRE! Riding winds of fire, as black smoke fills the lungs Choking on the sheer immensity - of hell on Earth The utmost of sacrifices through the longest of nights Shaking the pillars that once held the sky; our father is Death and to live is to die Light the fires and torch the world FIRE! FIRE! Set aflame the skyline And burn away birth! HIGHER! HIGHER! Burn me with the fire that burnt them Killing the fruit by tearing the stem Take me through the unknown Drag me beyond the stars And I shall crawl from the ashes I just need the fire lit

You who require a sign; look around you! The revelation of absolute nothingness! You uphold the self-deceit! and do not, but say; you get down on your knees and pretend to pray! You are dogs in the desert, you are feathers in wind Slaves serving hidden masters To be the center of a universe and not act as a god in a betrayal of your central essence Show me something real then tell me something true Make me understand What is part of you Eyes open, eyes close And a century has expanded within the course Let the night sky arch her back to grant you a kiss for then to catch a glimpse of utmost completion and unparalleled bliss See the light and BE the light and set a throne in the halls of your masters in the heart of your Lord!

There is a shadow and a presence that embodies at dusk Filling a weary being, eradicating all the eyes are seeing! Twisting and slithering in the nethers of thought pouring out onto the table all that doubt has brought! The uncertainties of spirit, seeping through horrid screams Riding tremors of panicked logic - bursting at the seams! Now dance in that abyss whence knows no day nor night I dwelled long in the darkness and therein forged a light! The deepest of beyond - fall into this grave! Feel its darkness envelop you. And bellow from the deepest pit Shine on me, for I have yet to see the other side of thee All that you call certainty to me remains a mystery! Pallid hands choking me! The absent chorus deafening! Oppressing pledge of liberty! Proclaiming falsely "I am free" And when you have passed through the fires shedding all unnecesseary weight Come join in all the pleasures waiting in the final dissolution and the utmost state Now sing me the song that you wrote for me Convince me of its lone sonority Make me believe that its never been sung before Adorn the dress of midnight sky and dance with me until we die Be the promise and reckoning and never cease to sing!
4.
Far away within beaneath the temple of memories! Where all regret and turmoil are woven thick into a flaccid cloak that drags behind my every staggering step - towards the next failure! Intense denial - as a mantra! Time rains hard with apathy And then a spark, and then a fire! Her manic dance, her hidden darkness Our secret chamber, our crumbling temple! Our isolation, our flame - burning fast; all ashes raining from the stars When the poison is tearing through the nerves, burning as their voices that haunted you since birth When all matter cease, my eternally stretched hand grasping out, holding only sand As I gaze out to the abyss, our eyes do not meet; the dance on the night sky that your silence complete! And as my crown is lowered; my bones will shake with anticipation for this joyous dance with Death, decay and misery in longing for the day my chains are broken and my heart set free From all the weight of dragging this entire universe on shoulders now not bearing the weight of a feather!

As I stand prepared, hungry as can be to delve into the greatest of mysterie Stretching my wings unto the burning night sky As ground vapours and shoreless seas beneath me lie Cleanse my body and rinse my spirit Bathe me in the blood and tears of wisdom outside of time itself Prepare me for the undertaking of this, my longest journey As I glide into the last of nights And have fought the last of earthly fights Of regrets there is none only the endless ecstacy of the knowledge of utmost liberty awaiting on the other side As I have drank the last of morning dew And buried pleasures deep in you My eyes have closed and mind has set My brow has glimmered with achievements sweat Wings stretching around the corners of the earth Enveloping all that once had worth And as the final sun sets on my horizon There is only joy A spark is born and fires feed On the carnal vessel I have freed I breathe in the incense of this new sensation as hungry tongues bring forth my coronation And there are no last words, but profound silence As Aurora and Sophia take my ashes through the roaring waters at the end of all As smoke vapours in the longest night The phoenix leaps to flight
