Dare to think of all as time bombs Through the gaze of morbid eyes Brave the dark, and with sight gone Only now can you see the light In this crux burdened lifelong: The polarity of life and death Flooding dread of the unknown Drowns a bitter final breath Misbegotten survival For existence is terminal Flesh never could rival And all are dead on arrival (Dead on arrival) Embrace the polarity Living: The gauntlet tempers the steel And yet for naught is all prosperity Dying: Silence shrouds what is real We shall embrace this polarity The paradox: living is lethal We stoke illusions where nothing is certain The macrocosm’s retrieval Frailty seeks to uplift such burdens In life, we balance upon needles Some draw the lines, others toil for clarity But in death, we’ll prove equal Don’t bide time to embrace this polarity Misbegotten survival For existence is terminal Flesh never could rival And all are dead on arrival Destiny of deprival In spite of instinct most primal Flesh never could rival And all are dead on arrival Embrace the polarity Living: The gauntlet tempers the steel And yet for naught is all prosperity Dying: Silence shrouds what is real We shall embrace this polarity Breathing: A function pondered vainly Sows life, yet it’s proof of our frailty Ceasing tends to move one strangely Shifts their eyes across this duality Oblivion beckons as Satan to Eve Our minds are voracious, on darkness they feed Cognition awaits, eclipsed by our reach Where sun is the truth we must learn but not teach Oblivion beckons, Satan to Eve Our ravenous minds, on darkness they feed Cognition is lying, just out of reach Where sky is the truth, deaf to this speech Embrace the polarity Through omnipresence, drawing near is fate So trivial in essence, quests to mitigate the end Where we distract ourselves through our diligence Instead to further an ongoing quest for significance Until the hourglass sands stain with our macabre state Unconcerned by if we’ve succeeded to alleviate the end Let us distract ourselves through our diligence To find it’s outweighed by a looming insignificance in the end All is outweighed in the end...

Justice denied Father Time does not wait Bitter tastes thy fate Surrender your mind Lest justice be denied Fruitlessness in seeking the absurd Such will never be nor has occurred Time has ways of siphoning one's will Life demands this balance be fulfilled But to feel alive is to elude the kill Abundance of life Sifts through aeons of death It’s equilibrium In the cosmic breath Yet what we seek... is justice delayed turned justice denied Peer into moribund eyes, thou shan’t shine thy friend But only revelation that the beginning is the end Sentenced into nothingness, existing was the crime Contradicting the maxim to a ceaseless marching of time To live is to die Justice delayed, justice denied Inhaled by infinity, none spared and none saved A demigod status only widens the grave Liberty desired in perpetual delay Death, like this coda, brings us back to which we’ve strayed

Conflicting temperatures fracturing glass Apathetic cold against hellish wrath The glass pane shatters to reveal no soul With fractured conscience, seeking to be whole Severing hands to escape from shackles In a mental wasteland but ruins and jackals Rendered faceless with no facade Rendered soulless yet no longer flawed Now this is hell, there’s no veneer And to think the worst still isn’t found here This path I walk is to stifle such fear Where only in the dark can you see through the clear To dwell in these thoughts so they may go unspoken As their weight on the mind rends it asunder past broken Now dwelling in thoughts of what could have been If only I’d seen the beginning is the end Conflicting temperatures fracturing glass Apathetic cold against hellish wrath The glass pane shatters to reveal no soul With fractured conscience through this black hole Perhaps fear dies with us, as does all After all, existence is terminal May it be for you as it is for I For it’s in this way all life begets life The boldest truth or most comforting lie? As nocturne brings the ebb of sky Maranasati and atheus mortem Seconds are fleeting and yet who can afford them? Two contradictions in coexistence Bracing to trek the unfathomable distance For only in the dark can you see through the clear With this vessel dies fear Perhaps fear dies with us, as does all After all, existence is terminal As we pass on through the dilating eye For it’s through this pull all life begets life Event horizon
