What starts with light?
What burns the night?
What shadow consumes with its fumes when its parts unite?
All that’s left behind are wandering ghosts
A vision of light will ignite from the blazing coast
We have won the war but it’s miles till the force will be felt
In the path of a great plasma blast lies hell
Invisible waves grip and blanket the landscape
Absorb the force source mutate the shape
Break the hold you hold
The grip that steals the light from orbit
Spin freely or suffer the weight
Shape shifter contemplate
While the forces of phantoms flood over and storm your gates
Lay down your life shape sacrifice
Crashing the core and reborn as radiant light
Invisible waves grip and blanket the landscape
Absorb the force we take we bend light
We spin freely we breed orbit velocity
We crash to ignite we are electric
Through the corona of the sun
1 trillion joules of starlight march the path to war
Forever…

Caught in your cosmos a dream or conspiracy
Shooting through jet streams ammonium crystals surround me
Trapped in a tear of your atmosphere
I’ve gazed at great lengths through the storms of your red eye
The repeating feedback the thunder intensified
Falling through the neon lights
Decoded all of your dark grand intentions
Your plans to become a new star by invention
Stars are born to sacrifice
Challenge the terrestrial torch of this system
Your wisdom is burning a hole in the heat that you seek
Winds will wipe out everything
Acid rain falling like laser beams
Sulfur winds and then we’re sailing
Through magnetic static your mass collapse
Been around your worlds and I’ve found
Hydrogen rivers flow underground
I’m still caught in your cosmos
A dream or conspiracy shooting through jet streams
Ammonium crystals surround me Trapped in a tear of your atmosphere
Big and vast one gaseous mass of pride
Open up your crimson eye
See a new sunrise on distant horizons
You’re sinking in sulfur
While vapors are rising
A vision of imploding end is near
Mass collide unite form the night
Soon you’ll be the darkest night…
A black hole

Rings of Saturn
03:05

Falling through the yellow blue
The ice-spiked rings of solitude
Paths unchanged the order saved
The power of the nuclei retained
On the path of lifeless mass
Past laid out by craters crashed
Neutron waves held in space
Dust fields collapse in their final escape
Crystals that form on the outside of life
Lifeless the seas that have sent them in waves
Perfect destruction we’re floating away
Swim through the static the ocean alive
Falling through the altitude
The slow decay of space unmade
Biospheres magnetic fields
The fate of a future race is revealed
Dazzling restless the freezing water
Fragments will burst their way through the order
Floating around in the balance of life
Surface my purpose
To get to my home
Decode the plans the paths the patterns
My enemies hide inside the rings of Saturn
Infinite nodes the brain controls the pattern
My enemies hide inside the rings of Saturn

Frozen
Shimmering stone
Hallo the great gas giant silent
Spinning alone
Islands
Under the waves
Sinking and rising black ice hiding
Alien graves
Under a sea of menagerie bleeds
A wounded world of the past
Look for a time when the stars realign
Wash away mountains of ash
Broken
Cosmic debris
Held in the cold dark grip of orbit
Sun gravity
Crystalline structures fractured unfold
Caught in a season of storms
Banished to darkness a sliver of memory
A century more to get warm
Proteus Galatea Despina Laomedeia
Sao Thalassa Halimede
Naiad Larissa Nereid…

Infinite End
03:28
|

The lights go by the black divides the sky
On the edge of disaster in space time
I found a new planet the orbit’s hard to break
Pulled me in and I’ve landed and I’m stranded
I fell into focus
This movement this moment eternal
Vanquish blues and spectral hues
The shape of fate turned inside out
The embryo of all we know is growing exponentially
Slip inside the space between the cosmic sheets
The guided queen on flaming throne
And I alone will neutralize what once was noble
Bend and twist to soon exist
Quite different than the ancient order
Pulled into a void where time will stop
Deep inside my composition no longer lives superstition.
Helium and trace amounts of hydrogen and water vapor
Majesty now magnified now I’m the one who’s inside out
Sew and weave a quilted stream then stop

Goodbye life
Repel suck swell end the strife
Caught in the endgame sick of waiting
Connected you repel me
Still we are one
The sun and earth have both just given birth
The elements of life reversed
Explore your coast
Electrons leave their host
They break their bonds give up the ghosts
The charge exchange
Small orbits end in flames
Bodies burn bright before they fade
My view your voice have drifted without noise
I hear the end begin again
Restart time
Twin galaxies combine
Obscure the lines of separation spec in the cosmic eye
Revive life
Slow motion we collide
Caught in the endgame sick of waiting
Connected you repel me still we will survive
Somewhere in the night the lights have drowning eyes
Two worlds collide twin galaxies made blind
Strings soon detune our orbits soon entwine
Fade into life our molecules combine

Motion of Planets

Great satellite
Sail with the tail of a comet
On a flaming throne alone
Metallic magnetic deadly black drone
One thousand years of sleep
The stars will bleed in the cosmic sea
We sail on sparks
Let the odyssey start
Ghosts spin around and disappear
Through the motion of planets in the heliosphere
It’s thermodynamic force in the galactic north
Terrestrial planets by the light of a gaseous god
Through the path of Mercury
Out the mouth into the galaxy
Reverse the seasons
Change the cosmos however I please
Fall to your knees
Say goodbye to ancient ways under my feet
Walk through nebulous clouds and dream
Of solar flares photons radiate decay
The architect of everything’s origins
The first wave of light
On a changing horizon
Scattered shards of white meteorite and dark ice
Deionized atoms in the folds of time
Push past the pulsar phantoms with future kind
Erase replace deface create the space
Repel the oceans
With every motion move further away
The old ways betrayed
Gas giant burns breaks washes away
Crash collapse the moon retrograde
Solar flares photons radiate decay
The architect of everything opens its wings…

Deep in the heart of Andromeda
Caught in the orbit of the two suns
Live the insect race space gate keepers the Arcadeans
Under the soot of volcanic debris
Through the winding tunnels and tributaries
They calculate in precise degrees the end of everything
On a stellar ship they’re sailing
Through the crust of the cosmos
Left the sun the earth the moon and Jupiter’s hovering ghost
Shooting through impending doom they loom
They lie and wait suspended
The solar breeze shifts the sands of time
All prospects are perched on the wings of pilgrims
No words no worlds a race erased
I really don’t have any regrets
Frozen stripped out of time
Held in the hand of the future I was stolen
Ripped out of time
Held in the gangrenous grip of the future
So long my scenery gone
This satellite in flight can’t fight
This planetary pull any longer
Silent night is shattered by the pull of invisible strings
Tumbling towards an infinite ending

Through the eyes
Of the paralyze radiant light beams
I dream I dream
Through the ice
Through the ice I see light in the night
Of the fallen and empty
Paradise
Is frozen in my cosmic eye
The divine
Is held in a solid state
Evaporate
I see a blazing path of ice
Rock and dust crystalized
The night has eyes
The night has eyes

Lend me your planets
And I will be your sun
I will remake the order of
Your solar system
So enter the entrapment
The cave inside the maze disguise
Molten metal runs in rivers flowing
Logic and matter die
Where all of our worlds
Are already one
Drift into me and let me bring my reign
I’ll split the oceans
I’ll make the mountains melt
Molecular motion rising
Shockwave of thunder felt
We’ll occupy new worlds
My stratosphere and I
Still time pushes through the hourglass
And breaks it by design
No reason to resist your only stardust
Time becomes occupied
Deep space infinite size
Mass gets magnified
Solar birth death from inside
Dark matter the key to survive
