1. Towards a New Horizon

3. Starnation's Loss
1. Towards a New Horizon
O winter stars - so bright
Thy features - most beautiful
My angel, my goddess, the full
Moon and thy radiant light
Lead us on our aspiring flight
Through falling snow and mournful
Scenes, past cold and delightful
Sceneries in the darkest night
To escape the preconceptions
Of man and yet again fail on that
Alas! We hasten our evolution's
Pace and nature, whereat
They forsake us, the creations
Of starbound love in human format
Ah! Thou art less than divine
The stars of the northern sky
My angel, a constellation, thy
Guidance falls into a decline
Still so luminous, but stars shine
Brightest before they die
We elude the confines of man and thereby
Reach for the one we enshrine
Finally, as the centuries have pass
We have grown out of thorns to realize
That every course leads to an impasse
Even in a system of this size
'Twas an error to try to surpass
mankind or e'er attempt to arise
On the edge of humanity and a new frontier
We perceive that nothing has chang'd
Alas! All the luminaries derang'd
From what we saw from our hemisphere
'Twas a failure to adhere
To thee! For years on end we rang'd
Along darkness and thus became estrang'd
Lo! The distort'd visage! O the fear
Of being left here on a backward-land
My angel, our universe! As before
We voyage in darkness and
Cold, through falling snow or
Fallen stars in the grand
Solitude - now and for evermore
2. Deviltress
Together in solitude
As the evening pass by and twilight ravish
Unforgettable dreams (that brought me relish)
At dawn all gone and dreams will perish
We are born of thorns
Our Empyrean's lorn
Your extravagant carnal desire
Burst into rapture and fire
That burns my innermost ere we expire
I know you'd take me even higher
Voluptuous Deviltress
Advocatus diaboli
I follow with carelessness
She leads me to my zenith
I sense this nothingness
Cold touch upon my skin
I know you'd take me even higher
You fucking liar
Again you appear
From the black cloak of night
Veiled in ravishing dark,
Nocturnal array so tight
That licks your starclad thighs
Revealing newborn light
Weaponless against thee seductress,
Yet mind's fulfilled with fight
Led by vindictive horns
I'll take no more scorn
Of you, whore
Voluptuous Deviltress
Advocatus diaboli
I sense this nothingness
Cold touch upon my skin
3. Starnation's Loss
Interstellar collapse
Left only coma behind
Antenatal Injustice
Brought me back to life
And so she danced under anthracite skies
Unconscious of carniwhorish eyes...
Those crestfallen travesties
Tried to umpire her empire
It was the genesis of nemesis,
From pride they succumbed to tyranny
For long did she thrive amongst them
True fiends of whole mankind
She was only a woman, lovelorn
Suffering from forlorn love
...That sought her for the seditious lies
Onslaught filled with antagonistic cries
(repeat)
Apocalypse scale genocide
She stood appall by my side
Gates to hell blazing open wide
Calling the name of my bride
She crested that night libeler’s lexicon in her hand
She swept down a third of the stars of heaven
Like the Beast with seven diadems
Paragon of benevolence betoken forthcoming darkness
Apocalypse scale genocide
She stood appall by my side
Gates to hell blazing open wide
Calling the name of my bride
And so she danced under anthracite skies
Intrigue no longer stayed underground
