Gaze Not Home

Frozen hull cuts through nothingness
Hurtling toward sanctuary
Gaze not home
Sunlight fades as their new dawn nears
Solitary life boat cast off
Gaze not home
It is no more
Look beyond now
It is no more
Those green fields never were
That blue sky always burned
The poison always flowed
Deep in the veins of all
Deep in the veins
It is no more
Look beyond now
Look to freedom
Eyes turned skyward trace that bright arc
Hurtling toward sanctuary
Gaze now home
Darkness falls though morning bells ring
Left behind to sift the ashes
Gaze now home
It is no more
Look beyond now
It is no more
This garden never grew
This death has always been
Hope always burned away
Into the void beyond
Into the void
It is no more
Look beyond now
Look to sacrifice

Nothing On The Horizon

The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
Grain upon grain, one by one
I play, I lose, and I have done (with it)
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
I know my life is but a slow death
Each moment one closer to my last breath
I know my life is but a slow death
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
Staring at the horizon... there's nothing on the horizon
Nothing on the horizon but the gray sun.
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
I know my life is but a slow death
Each moment one closer to my last breath
I know my life is but a slow death
My dream
A world silent and still
Each thing in its last place
My dream
A world silent and still
Under the last dust
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on

Lotus
08:34

Driven thence
By foul winds
Nine days upon the sea
Driven thence
We reached their land
That take a flower for their feast
They raised no sword
They did not run
Gave lotus flower and bade us eat
Can't remember hearth or home
Don't know my name or where I've been
No resistance to nonexistence
I take the flower for my feast
That nectar
Cleared our eyes
So rare and so sweet
Made no return
We sent no word
Of our bloodless defeat
Forced and fast, we bitter wept
Only the flower we seek
Heathens boarded to drag us home
Wailed as their oars smote the sea
This bliss fills me
This bliss kills me
Open my eyes
Open my mind's eye
Open my mind
My mind dies
My mind dies
