1. Trivial Demise
2. Departure
3. Terres Astrea Reliquit
1. Trivial Demise
Trial of patience is starting
A trivial unwind
All arbitrations are failing
Fear, and deception…cloud the mind
Understanding is slowing
A trivial decline
Perforated shells are spreading
Fragment…separation…failure
Failure to arrive at a simple destination
Failure to achieve a simple goal
Failure of a principal obsession
Untie all these broken spokes
And now I attack the failed system
And scoff at my vile reception
I prepare my final resolution
To failure…with a vengeance
Trial of patience is waning
A trivial design
Battered victims are pleading
Lies, and persistence…assuage the blind
Understanding is dying
A trivial demise
Desecrated shells are glowing
Shining…for the last time We wrote all the illusions
Now reap this consternation
Failure to seek a reputation
Worthy of my elemental fragment
Elements derived by dislocation
Elements designed like broken spokes
My mind is overpopulated
Can’t control all the elements fragmented
I prepare my final resolution
With a fractured…sense of reason
We wrote all the illusions
Now reap this consternation
Failure to accept the approbation
Failure to achieve a simple goal
Failure of a principal obsession
Destroy all these broken spokes
And now I attack the failed system
And scoff at my vile reception
I prepare my final resolution
To failure…with a vengeance
2. Departure
Winter’s greed to cover the earth, its barren trees, and desolate fields
Withering life disappears
Isolation unfolds
The outlook is bleak, As winter descends, a rook shakes his wings,
Frozen yet desperate to flee
Frozen yet desperate to flee
The sky is beckoning, A violet streak, on a pale cell wall
Painted by cruel winter
Illusions of life appear
In the eye of the rook, Black as night in a winter of soot
Fraud in the guise of a thaw
A spring that will never return
Scorch the earth, Burn the sky, Invoke the black flames of hell
Fires subside, Salt to sow, Deep in the skin of the earth
A guarantee, that nothing will grow, Ruin this forlorn world
Evacuate, This smoldering orb, witness a blazing rook soar
There is no snow, no angry deluge, nothing to quench this pyre
The sacrifice, the holocaust, winter transforms to reign with fire
Isolation unfolds
The outlook is bleak, As winter descends, a rook shakes his wings
Burning yet desperate to flee
Burning yet desperate to flee
The sky is beckoning, Singed and smoked a painful portrait
Painted by cruel winter
Illusions of life disappear
From the eye of the rook, Its feathers are melting and covered in soot
A desperate rook exits the earth
A life that will never return
