Further Down - Barren Earth

A slew of impossible outcomes in pale light

Flaunting their violence gleefully

Revolving this wistful room

Calling out a sickening effort from all sides

A swiftness at the end, a cut before the bend

A storm, a calm, a blend

That each spectator craves

I rip out their intestines of a dream

I found the way

Through this system

Through these arches of gold

Leading further down, down

I found a way

Of birthing existence

Into rivers of old

Leading further down

Sheer essence belied an appearance of frailty

But shine of the dawn

Reveals your ill-conceived absence

Stringed fleets of eyeless spies unveiled me

Now they are obliged to serve me

Begs the question:

Why abandon the enlightened

And follow the fool?

I dredge up the black anchors on my chains

Repairless, unending

The living slow decay

A silver of guidance

Erodes on boiling clay

You witnessed the ruin

Of all connection

Now retrace the threads so pale

You may find the way
