A Photic Doom

(альбом: Terrasite - 2023)

This accretion where gas and dust consolidate
Under gravity's control began a wasteland alone
No sign of life, intelligence has no role
Compounds of four elements, the beginning molecules of a soul

Geyser of light peers through the darkness
No ocean, no atmosphere
Hadean eon rise
Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Here where all faith goes to die
Where we are damned by the light

Complex sequence of elements
Bond together life's essence
Sugars, enzymes, proteins, deoxyribonucleic acid
From the kingdom to the order bricks and mortar of a doomed future

A spirit born in the darkness
A new species to arise
Exothermic and heartless
With a penchant for earthly demise
Thriving in the lightless
No need for hope, a future with no illumination and sightless
And grown without incandescence

Skin starts to burn in the light
Vampiric nightmare
The cracking of the sun through the night
Irradiated, alight
The uphill battle of life

Destroying dark
Oppressive light, brilliance alive
Avoid the spark that ends this night, damning sun rise

Geyser of light peers through the darkness
No ocean, no atmosphere
Hadean eon rise
Abandon hope all ye who enter here...

Father Lucifer! Your light still casts a shadow
In that emptiness we hide behind its veil
Smashed across the rocks and bleeding in the shallows
In our quest for light we've aimed our paths to fail

Skin starts to burn in the light
Vampiric nightmare
The cracking of the sun through the night
Goddamn the light
