U N I V E R S a L D E a T H
Come, my child, you're ever bound to me
The road ahead descends without escape
The rule you've laid to see is bent and blind as me
Welcome to the dark, lay your head on me
You sing of dawn but I'm the great dusk come
Every fleeting breath is but a stir of dust
Come and rest your fears, O and die with me
All would be the same had you never came
None are left aware, were you ever there?
C O N S C I O U S N E S S
Standing on these shores
Surrounded by a cold and waveless sea
I bear a knowing of love and lack
You cannot hide and it holds to me
From what dark turning does this flicker stir unhindered daring so strange a thing
Yes like you I am dust but unlike you I'm steaming, breathing, wreathing dream upon dream
U N I V E R S a L D E a T H
Dark night, bind light
See naught
See not
Laid low, fade, go
Be naught
Be not
