lyrics

Act I: Contemplating The Void:
It took the night to delve into the darkest corners of my being | I watched the dawn surrender mute to the twilight’s impending fall, and the cold taking over the air | A reflected black hole straight ahead inviting me over for a talk at its deepest abyss, like a neighbor sharing his misfortunes, so as not to feel so lonely anymore | and though any common man would decline politely and turn back around, I felt no grip from behind my back pulling me far from the cold dark space ahead.

You have your heart’s bleak prose to tell these oldest of ears | In them you can confide your innermost nature and thoughts. And once you do, I will be yours. Like no one ever was.

I am home to all lost wonderers. The ground beneath the callous feet, sweeping them to a rest everlasting when they are feeble and weary | I am the most faithful of mistresses, rendering your earthly concerns obsolete. Shall you entrust your woe onto me, and I shall harbor your every fragment deep inside my marrow.


Act II: Cosmic Migration:
It would only take a leap of lost faith to carry on to the black hole’s arms, and Nihilus’s embrace. And so from out the mud I plunged abandoned to the cold darkness ahead.

I saw millions of lost wanderers, side by side, floating towards the promised land of nothing. Each to their fortress of solitude, slipping further and further away into a vacuum so deep no one would ever retrieve you.

I was now proudly alone. (x2)


Act III: Lost Amongst The Stars:
(Instrumental)


Act IV: The Reckoning:
Transient pilgrim, I drew forth my last of lights to guide me through the dark matter and specks of dust that cloud my acumen. And on the brink of consummate abandon, I came upon a sullen haven from a lost reverie. Dark, unblemished, putrid. Home to the homeless; parent to the orphan; warmth to the stranded. Settled in fatigue, I reckoned many a truths beneath the pending icicles, of which none but one I shall disclose in this contrition: that our bodies shall equally rot and feed the worms, and neither the firmest of beliefs can refuse such objectivism. Our deeds slipping away from collective memory, giving way to new ones, to vanish soon after as well. Nihilus held the sharpest truth.

Resign to her teachings… stargaze one last time… weak pulse… no more laments. Only eulogies.
It’s only a rite of passage.
It’s only a rite of passage.
It’s only a rite of passage.
It’s only a rite of passage.

Farewell.
