[Lyric] The Unmanifest (Aethereus)

Emptiness encircles as I glide listlessly into the void
The blinding luminosity of the cosmogenial womb
A faded glow in the distance
Drowning in the waters of desolation
I await the cycle’s completion
From the depths of the abyss, I hear faint whispers of life

Out of the darkness emerge distant spheres of white light
Innumerable lifeless eyes transfixed on the immeasurable, thе unmanifest;
Truth beyond the flеshy paroxysms of lesser beasts
Of formless consciousness unburdened by time

Elusive migrator, trans-dimensional arbiter of time
Oh merciless colossus, consume me!
Shield me from the blinding luminosity of my birth
And bring forth the great silence

Such peculiar creatures have taken form
Transient and impudent; an insatiable lust for unmerited privilege
Matched by the blind exaltation of cynosures
Claiming prophetic divination; deifying the unworthy
Elusive migrator, trans-dimensional arbiter of time
Oh merciless colossus, consume me!
Shield me from the blinding luminosity of my birth
And bring forth the great silence

Writhing worms, offering senseless tribute to their Sun
And I, their tragedian narrator, observe their dirge for a dying star
Obsolescent destroyers, gluttonous devourers of air;
Voracious patrons of industry with mechanical fangs gnaw at the flesh of the Earth

Each waking breath, a slight against our progenitor
Every thought, a reaffirmation of the singular truth
Towards the alcove of the rift
We simultaneously
Proclaim that I exist

Am I no different from these salacious egoists?
Their existence itself is only a finite delusion
But what am I? An incomprehensible fallacy
Precariously tethered to a temporal reality

Elusive migrator, trans-dimensional arbiter of time
Oh merciless colossus, consume me
Shield me from the blinding luminosity of my birth
And bring forth the great silence
