Hail the dawning of the outer ones
For wisdom they burn
And flicker in their pain
When the titans call for change
Revolt to the last
And refuse the dial’s turn
There is too much to defend
Hosts of cosmic fires ascend
Would I be free if I gave myself to these?
Through the rage of parting skies
Delivered unto them
The eternal blazing beings
Unfettered, untold stars
Let it shine on you
The white light of day
Shine on you
The white light
Reverse the night’s decay
I am barely more than a husk on a windowsill
But I still have my place
I can still claim my sorry few molecules of sustenance
Somewhere in the debris of shattered vaults
Through shallow breathing
I sow my black conclusion
As the titans’ reign decays
Our time will come at last
When no one is concerned
With ties that fade away
As the tightened chains of age
Are wrested from our grasp
And the shaded refuge burns
With fear we greet the end
Let it shine on you
The white light of day
Shine on you
The white light
The light beyond the grave
Multitudes dying
Strange memories
A solar swarm ascends to form new creeds
Behind the ether and selfish grief
Outside categorical belief
No one is me
