lyrics

And suddenly the world was made dark again.
And all the silhouettes and shadows cast from the ships in the sky lorded over the land.
Moon beings from the Netherverse cast their cool gray light through the heart of humankind and bestowed unto them singularity.
Beginning.
They were but infants, still crawling on all fours.
Breastfeeders, thumbsuckers, first steppers
Convinced that they were grown and whole, rulers of the universe
But the children of the moon heed no illusions.
They demand only accountability and offer only enlightenment.
So they pruned the branches of the lost race.
They watered until what was lifeless and frail became sentient and sure.
The great watchers in the sky swung low their scythe over all and harvested their long-sought fruit:
Universal awareness
And so self-realization resubmerged the entirety of reality back down into the timeless, spaceless underbelly of the void.
The flames of consciousness burned low down to smoldering embers, soon to be swallowed by the long night, where there is no thought,
No strangers,
No voice,
No knowledge,
No seeing,
No breathing.
Just being.
Just being.
Just being...
