we're standing on the precipice
of our own demise
laughing in its face
it will ignore our cries
we're standing on a cliff
pissing in the wind
can you feel the raindrops
dancing on your chin
we're standing on the brink of total war
can you sense the blood upon the floor
we're cutting off our nose to spite our face
will we bleed out
war appears to have been waged
upon the broader whole we are
cut our nose to spite our face
foolish sullen children
truth appears to have been slain
upon the altar of the vain
vacant eyes and stagnant minds
we owe ourselves better

would you be
a force which liberates
would you wish
to fight for that that’s life
or do you wish
to hide behind the knife
to ingratiate yourself
with profane might
when we’re gone
we’ll be consumed
by the maw
of the void
will we have been
a worthy vessel
for the light
of the all

We live in the chasm at the mouth of the all
Her lips are wet with venom and her quarry will fall
Ride the wave upon her breath
Live as though there isn’t death at all
There is no self, only the all
A world ensouled and magickal
All is light
All is sound
All is mind
All is light
The sky is the vessel, the celestial womb
The soil beneath us, the seed and our tomb
Born unto the universe, the great sea we must traverse
To the place preceding form, Lux Interna set the course
All is light
All is sound
All is mind
All is light
The fire within us is the source of all flame
The vital force unleashed and untamed
Boundless vigor asks not how, it acts upon eternal now
Pure unbridled energy, it seeks at once to set us free
All is light
All is sound
All is mind
All is light
All is light

Child of light
Blessed with inner sight
Your mind is larger than you think
Divinity is within your reach
Joyous one
Your heart a golden sun
Illuminating all the world
As your radiance unfurls
The universe before you
Pluck what thine heart desires
Born of the Limitless
Child of celestial fire
The doorway stands open
Select from endless roads
Enflame thyself with reverence
A love supreme enthroned

Slough it off
As though it was dead skin
That you shed
Illusory image
The machinations of control
Hiding in plain sight
Gilded bars upon your cage
Slip them and take flight
Lose the past
For the moment we’re within
There’s only now
It’s all there’s ever been
The machinations of control
Hiding in plain sight
Gilded bars upon your cage
Slip them and take flight
Pernicious strategies
Meant to mold the free
Into compliant drones
Shirk them, you’re not alone
There is no form which binds
The truly boundless mind
Unbridled by constraints
The path of shifting fates

And all is Light
Awash in endless night
Such is the radiance which shines brighter than a million suns
And all is sound
Echoing from the heavens down
Such is the music which resounds, vibrations of the spheres, Kingdom bound
And all is mind
The universal I
Such is the brilliance which abides, the ubiquitous consciousness
Light
Pervades
All
Prima Materia

sprawling spaghetti western scores, constantly striving for visceral power and raw intensity, contrasted with eerie, spare instrumental passages.
