Enlightenment

Born in complete suffocating darkness
Deprived of senses, hollow bodies roam
Minuscule points of light appear and grow
Until the point of rupture,
The apotheosis
A crowd reached the crown
Envious, they melted its gold
As they proclaimed the new order
Lighting a beacon of thousand fires
It shun light bright
As to blind centuries to come
Unlike a sun to bathe the world in warm glow
Their edifice was a lighthouse
Cutting shapes in a swirling sea
In vain, isolating parts of an ever-moving
Their eye is vulgar or vapid
Reductive but blurred
Contempt for life made them forget themselves
The morbid project swallows reality
As the glimmer of hope turns to raging fires
As the smokes from the work of the masses rise
As they steal the liberation making steel sharp as death
Their powers inflated as they stole the great labor
Building the pedestal that crushes the backs
Imposing the doctrine of natural greed
Enforcing the lie of natural hate
Total darkness to total blindness

The Great Dimmers
05:56

|

A murder of ravens assaulting the lighthouse
The vacant eye that's casting the doom
Weakened and made sore by its pride
In frantic attempt to contain what's swirling in a cold box of glass
The blinding light was dimmed
Till the heat burnt their wings
Unitary struggle, tear themselves apart
Defeat after defeat
But hope never run dry
Permanent uncertainty
Is a maddening pain
As existence is absurd
An omnipresent burden
The wise providing sight
Has the aura of prophets
As they both provide a feeling of revelation
They attract adorers to their side
The kind who stabs their backs

Adoration
04:38
|
|

|
Honouring the unifiers
After all liberating fight
Might frighten the ones...
Watching from afar
Idolatry and devotion
Dangerous adoration
Exposing a weakness
In our use of strength
Adoration in everything
A force greater than moral
Uncontrolled might wreck
Untamed might miss
What separates the adorer
The blinding foolishness
And the combattant, the theorist
Is how they accept it
The true adorer is blinded by light
They don't think themselves as ones
Reject pagan idolatry
Conceive worship as reason
Contemplate the human swarm
Abnegation and devotion
Prodigious tool, like fire
As it might burn its user

Totality
04:56
|
|
||
|
The grip of reaction
The liberating struggle
To the blinded and obscured look so similar
Their shapes resembles a world absorbed in wholeness
As adorers they enjoy the blatant ignorance
That they bathe in a seamless ocean of totality
When the fight for power and cruel violence,
Hide in banality
Then a mind can't escape
As their hatred towards the pagan worshippers deepen they make fools of themselves
Absorbed in a single totality
The freest speaker is the powerless
As the revolted shape the new
They build an edifice
So great a single mind cannot grasp
Fools will watch in awe and scream in despairs
As reverting violence makes it more visible
But glaring at it we can see our condition reflect back at us
The afterward is liberation

Ah yeah! This is the real music. You deserve a hearty THANK YOU. You bring rock. It has that emotional significance that good sounding instruments often bring. Music with feeling. Sounds much like Staind minus the vocals.

Incredible work. The anxiety and horror of the ocean is so present in the music and lyrics. Sad that I came upon this project after its conclusion but excited to see what the musician behind it will do next if anything. Will be a blessing regardless I figure.
