Galvanized by the molding of the flesh, my essence
Encased within a tomb of gore and bone
Memories of a cyclic existence; ceaseless repetitious
Epochs of nihilistic scorn
The time between the birth of the universe
And the death of the stars is eternally in motion
I, an unwilling passenger condemned to rewatch
The endless mortification of illusory
Ghouls as they placate celestial bodies
Ghosts worshipping ghosts
I, unseen and unheard, observe from on high
This tragedy unfolding as it has each and every time
Suffer eternally
As you drown on your rot
The cosmos heaves infernally
As we return to naught
I am the Earth and the Sun
Primordial spawn descended from gods
The undying progeny
Condemned to a cycle of endless decay
I am forever reborn
An enlightened thrall for which no one shall mourn
Ripped forth from the unending abyss
Condensed within flesh, I am incarnated
For an eternity, I have been alone;
An amorphous ghoul traversing the infinite depths
A shapeless passenger guided by the unseen
My agency, my will; never my own
Countless epochs of repetition;
A violent genesis preceding the manifestation of life
A quest for meaning reveals only one truth;
I exist to endlessly suffer
My resurrection has drawn an audience
From all corners of the expanse emerge the eyes of the Watchers
A congregation of featureless colossi
Gather to bear witness to my liberation
I am the Earth and the Sun
Primordial spawn descended from gods
The undying progeny
Condemned to a cycle of endless decay
I am forever reborn
An enlightened thrall for which no one shall mourn
Ripped forth from the unending abyss
Condensed within flesh, I am incarnated
Once consumed by nihilism, but with freedom comes cautious hope
Released from the cycle of torture, enshrined in a form bespoke
Carved from fallen monoliths. Scarred by marks of decay
The indelible whispers of timelessness all but fading away
My gaze now turns towards the outer reaches of the unending abyssal expanse
As my benefactors are drawn by an ineffable calling
I look upon the limitless existences condensed within temporal fields
Their luminescent splendor a portent of damnation
Encased within a tomb of gore and bone
Memories of a cyclic existence; ceaseless repetitious
Epochs of nihilistic scorn
The time between the birth of the universe
And the death of the stars is eternally in motion
I, an unwilling passenger condemned to rewatch
The endless mortification of illusory
Ghouls as they placate celestial bodies
Ghosts worshipping ghosts
I, unseen and unheard, observe from on high
This tragedy unfolding as it has each and every time
Suffer eternally
As you drown on your rot
The cosmos heaves infernally
As we return to naught
I am the Earth and the Sun
Primordial spawn descended from gods
The undying progeny
Condemned to a cycle of endless decay
I am forever reborn
An enlightened thrall for which no one shall mourn
Ripped forth from the unending abyss
