1. The Edge Of Forever
THE EDGE OF FOREVER
---------------------------------------
WE STAND ON A CONSTANT THRESHOLD OF
A QUANTUM HIERARCHY, UNIVERSAL AND PURE
THE ECHO AMID SILENCE AN EPOCH FROM ANTIQUITY
OF RED-SHIFTING MATTER, FINITE YET UNBOUNDED
THE ETHEREAL NOMENCLATURE OF GRANDEUR, ON HIGH
WHERE THE RELATIVE IS IRRELEVANT
AND IMMENSITY IS ETERNITY
FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN
YET, THE UNIVERSE ENCOMPASSES AND ENGULFS
EVEN, ALMOST, INFINITY AS AN ATOM
AND I SAW ETERNITY THE OTHER NIGHT
THE UNVANQUISHED BLACK SPLENDOR
OF THE EDGE OF FOREVER
WHERE OUR CONSCIENCE AND COMPREHENSION
FAIL FROM FRAILTY
YET, NINE WORLDS I REMEMBER
A COMMUNITY OF MATTER
AND, BY THOUGHT, I COMPREHEND OUR WORLD
HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE AS OLD AS I
AND ALL THINGS ARE ONE
II.PERPETUAL
THROUGH THE EYES OF NIGHT
WE SEE AN INTIMATION
OF A FRAIL EXISTENCE
A FABRIC, AND A VOID
WHERE THE GREATEST
HAVE GREATER STILL
ON OUTWARD, AND UPWARDS
SPIRALING, FOREVER
ARE ASCENTS, DESCENTS
PERPETUAL
SEEING FAR ENOUGH
TO BE BLINDED BY DARKNESS
GRASP, YET NEVER REACH
A BASTION ETERNAL
BOUNDARIED ONLY BY CONSCIENCE
AND A FLACCID UNDERSTANDING
ATHANASIA IN ALL AGES
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
IN ALL MINDS
FILLED WITH ELEGANT TRUTHS,
AND PRISTINE ILLUSIONS,
STRETCH OUT YOUR EYES
WHERE THE GREATEST
HAVE GREATER STILL
PERPETUAL
2. Webs Of Perdition
I curse forgotten foreign worlds
Evil landscapes of my mind
Black horrors that I dread
Fantastic to mankind
One thousand fates await me
Each points towards doom
My sleep grows deep and lifeless
The aching void looms
Spirals of thorns shred my eyes
War-gredy weapons unsheathed
Sanguinary way -blinded path
Congealing misfortunes decreed
he who enters the blackness
Shall soon not know what may be
Nightmarish foreshadows- the future
Abolish what nyctophobia pleads
A plague of dreams and visions
That haunt (and lurk in) my mind
Beneath the shroud of darkness
These shadows come alive
Indeed I cannot escape this
This pestilent torment of dreams
My torturous sleep is imprisonment
I moan an echoing scream...
Infectious fear
It fabricates
Weaves itself
It procreates
Cruel clutching strands
It permeates Webs of Perdition
One dreams the fate
Webs of Perdition
One dreams the fate
Webs of Perdition
Asphyxiate
A face transfixed with horror
Macabre is the weird
A futile glimpse towards infinity
Black thoughts - nightmare revealed
This bedside shall be my resting place
To capitulate toward the dark
I gather the black in my eyes
The rattle of death departs...
