Preterition Hymn

The tides rise again Carry me close to see the skin But these arms cannot mend the vision The waters fall trembling Cast out beneath the heavenly tree And still we dream The hand of god will lift Weary Tantalus To fruits that gleam To cease suffering Rise, Tantalus Unfurl your chains Arise in flame, Enochian I'm robed in flame, Enochian Free from this dream, Enochian Unfurl your wings

Beat me back but I'll keep on climbing When you're lost in the dreams Of the dead And the final sun burns Oh, the battle begins... Prepare for brutal ascent With sword in hand (Succumb to steel) Cast out the leeching demons Don't give in (Succumb to steel) Remember, YOU are the mountain Keep climbing, journey within Your weary heart will burn again Charge headfirst into the wind Soul aflame, fate abreast Feet light as air Let arrows fly If they despise you Become the tempest And the deceivers, they shall kneel Before your fiery blade of steel Obey your will's command Shaad'oah! And the gods who mocked each step Will bow before you in the end Rise, oh flesh-bound demigod And hear the cries and moans Of the false gods and deceivers Collect your spoils You're the master Of sea and sky Of fire and air The thunder from above The flames beneath the earth Keep on climbing Let your chariot ride across the sky Pierce the shield of the universe I'm alive I'm alive in the flames

Let there be light! Behold the Garden of Eden Bathed in ultraviolet and fulmination Nigh-infinite untold worlds Unseen, lost and forgotten Organic crystallization A magma miasmic, bubbling, swirling Whispers of primitive chemistries Poems and prose in scripts of replication Mutatious lexicon Genesis Imminent speciation Flowing with acrid ichor Division, swelling, expanding intensify Dominion, animated, ascendant Transcriptional and nucleotidal Prolifically suicidal Encumbered by growth itself Hark! Life becomes death Gradually petrified Self-inflicted genocide Reproduction rectified Suffocate solidified Atoms cease, vitrified Coils writhe, unalive Unalive, unalive Boundless becoming bound Burning spark terminal and fated to be A headstone of aeons Ontological mysterium Triumphant obelisk Calcified effigy of what once was A monument to the unliving Cenotaph of centuries And glories past Testament to the ancient
