An Examination of Being

Time marches on This known from birth We are all pawns Such is the fate of man A slow dissolve to oblivion Prepare for the end The years are falling down The concept of our extinction As seen in our reflection Wait for the day to signify the end Death comes calling and sealing my fate Life is declining and falling away Accepting my death as I fade to oblivion Filling the void As my life's destroyed Acceptance of fate Await the end of time

Purify by fire Extinguish the flames of contempt Follow the path to enlightenment Destroy what came before Die to be reborn Purge the vices that led to your demise Deceit, betrayel and bloodshed Pathways to regret Call upon intuition A voice of purity The scriptures of purification Your being will guide the way Obey the scriptures and follow the way Defy the one that led you astray Dissolve subjugation The scriptures of purification Amid the past The scriptures of purification

Find the ones that deceived us Shatter the lies Guide us to vengeance Shelter the cries Seeds of mistrust have been planted in me I will not fall victim to your prey Deceived no more I now even the score this day I will not fall victim to your prey You will not deceive us You will not deceive us You will not deceive us Lies upon the lips of Judas Lies Lips Judas

The reason of creation The purpose of life Return of our creators Awaiting deliverance we seek the answers The secrets kept Reveal the path That has been left An order of elders show us the way Decipher glyphs From years of decay We are on a journey (for all time) to discover the past (of our lives) The ways of the ancients we seek Return of the ennead

Stare at the sun so I can breathe Shock myself back to reality Confusion is clouding my mind, depressed by the lapse of time Looking back I see things clearer Realize what I should have done as I stare in the mirror Years pass before my eyes can't see Memories of those living and deceased filling my thoughts with pride To the future I must strive The past is gone, can't change decisions Life filled with little ambition Fighting to gain my life back Arms out wide I scream to the heavens

Comfort found in the darkness of night Away from those that wish to see Those of faith cannot help me My answers sought internally I examine my being and question faith I seek life's meaning and place in it all I exist to question the answers That have been given to me Never yield to those that "know" They will all burn with me Man can't know of existence We lack the sight, the sight to see Trapped in this realm unknowing Until death comes for me

Looking past the veil time Grasp finite to gain sight Through self you'll find Perceive one mind, shed the flesh Embrace the collective We are the conduits to eternity Transcend from this plane Become one with the night We surpass the restrictions of time And ascend to beings of light Meditate, concept of one Ascension has begun

Descend to depths Concepts dissolve Past boundaries Where one must evolve Tend to the healing of a damaged soul Avoid the light or cease to grow Abolish all religion I descend to the reaches of thought I find a portal to rapture Release the mind Find inner meaning Release the body Leave all possessions behind (Collective conscience)

There is no way to prevent the end One must accept our blackened fate Black, the natural state of matter decayed Black are the days and the lives that we've made Negative perception, your own creation Why choose the bleak? and deny satisfaction Consumed by thoughts of descend One must accept our blackened fate There is no shelter from the clouds above There is no shelter, there is no love There is no shelter from impending fate There is no stopping that which penetrates skin Death descend upon us, leaving us to decay I try to live on, but my body betrays Darkness foreshadows our dying Leaving us to decay Left in this world alone I have a sense of being betrayed
