2. Coveting Elysium
3. Reverie in Tears
4. The Last of Vitality
5. Antithesis of Light







1. Omniscient




2. Coveting Elysium

Through the imperishable night
Mist falls upon your shapeless form
Down into a swirling white shroud
Draping all in ethereal latency
An enchanted voice
Cuts through the mystery
Singing to the soulless ones
Searching... (in vain?)
Opalescent world -
Hidden beauty
Take my spirit away
To the land of silent dreaming

My limbs ache, so I must crawl
Towards this melancholia
Sorrowful yet divine
It soothes my weary body
For I am lost and the path has been obscured.
The light - the sound
Of infinite joy
I long to feel them once again
Come forth through the darkness and eddying haze...
Take my spirit away.




3. Reverie in Tears

Thoughts migrate nowhere, sullen birds of prey
Swallowed by jet black dreams of death in foul slumber
A world beyond affliction;
When the calling lulls us into our infinite beds
And the droning pulse of nihilism mocks us
From across lightless fissures of consciousness.
Writhing...Burning
Alive only to host the Stygian torment
Pitied we are
When deep sleep falls upon mankind.
Hopeless we fall
Into the fathomless depths of this virulent dream.

And from the haunted arms of Morpheus,
We arise to a different despair.

[note: now called "Pavor Nocturnus" on the Antithesis of Light album]




4. The Last of Vitality

I watched...
From mountains of spirit,
Where gods claim the universe.
I watched...
As life lingered in sordid desperation.
My hidden, true form
Became a mask of solitude
A prodigal reflection
Of human depreciation
Utter isolation approaching nirvana.
Beckoning me to my womb...
Back to the earth
The end arrives peacefully - with silent finality
So swift, across cons
Not even legend remained.
Streams of pain descend
Like purifying waters
In this hideous bliss - I taste the last of vitality




5. Antithesis of Light

Eternity has no bottom
It is the breath of a dying sun
Exhaling its icy last gasp
Above the pillars of the dark corruption.
Hanging low in the vast nothingness,
Symbol of destiny - mirror of the ages
Eternity is an illusion
Burning quickly away into molecular shadow
There is no measure of it; it's depth in endless
It is in the eyes of all who see.
Elusive, the antithesis of light devours life
And eventually, eternity shall endure
When all else has fallen to myth;
And no dream is left to believe.
Eternity is dust - a churning sea of pale dementia
Burying, reaping beneath the ashen shroud of heaven.
Desolate father of all time
Awaits the final breath...and stands a lonely vigil
To greet you in the inevitable darkness once again.
