Interstellar 04:36
We came from the stars We shall return to the stars The in between time we call life And what if we were to take life beyond the stars? What if we are already beyond the stars? Imperceptible bliss Across an empty universe a paradise lies obscure As soon as the breach is discovered Within and without the illusion the seer awakes in redemption In a place where now is forever, where matter matters no more In the cosmic ocean of eternal present We drowned the future, we buried the past And what a glorious time it was! The highest task to unveil the highest self Interstellar dreamers unite and gather enraptured from beyond Interstellar destination ever to be returned to Interstellar dreamers unite and gather enraptured from beyond Interstellar destination ever to be returned to Imperceptible bliss Across an empty universe a paradise lies obscure As soon as the breach is discovered Within and without the illusion the seer awakes in redemption In a place where now is forever

The lighthouse shed its light for so long through storms and mists and tempests and maelstroms The lava of agony devoured the last resorts of sanity but the winter of deliverance never came Waiting in shores uncharted through the swirls of time Casting the spells of dis to evade the great divide That winter never came... That winter never came... All seemed lost The challenge of acceptance of fate was harsh Not knowing if it would last a moment or an eternity Not knowing that it was the same all along Waiting in shores uncharted through the swirls of time Casting the spells of dis to evade the great divide That winter never came... That winter never came... At the utmost moment of surrender In the final throes of admitting defeat Enlightenment stroke like a cyclone from beyond That winter never came because that winter was always here

The day the worms became kings A sign of a world imploding The day the worms became kings A glimpse of a world collapsed From day one the purpose was clear Survival of the fittest would be the whole of the law And that equilibrium would last throughout the millennia Bring forth the flood to wash away this plague Reveal the way to conjure the form of reason No one could foresee that the tables would turn Abominable pieces of low-life claiming the throne For when humans try to play god is loathed But when gods try to play human is the worst scripture of mockery Bring forth the flood to wash away this plague Reveal the way to conjure the form of reason From day one the purpose was clear Survival of the fittest would be the whole of the law And that equilibrium would last throughout the millennia

Fractal Maze 05:44
It happened again The wanderer, the lost, the demented all gathered once more to contemplate upon the loop of patterns All the vectors were there The numbers and figures kept marching on and on To pave the way for the eternal flow To give form to it all The maze kept repeating itself perpetually That they had forgotten how they had even entered in the first place But the breach was still there somewhere Was there any chance that this could be a limbo after all? Most definitely not This relentless spiral repetition resembled only hell Fractal maze - a passage to a life beyond Fractal maze - is lurking concealed Fractal maze - enchanting travelers Fractal maze - through tunnels of dreams The breach was still there somewhere Fractal maze - a passage to a life beyond Fractal maze - is lurking concealed Fractal maze - enchanting travelers Fractal maze - through tunnels of dreams The breach was still there somewhere

The play was set perfectly All the actors were there With their fancy little costumes and their fancy little minds A flawless paradise The stage was immense A cage without end Though your average viewer would only focus on the field of a sand grain and clap his hands in ignorant bliss The stage was immense A cage without end Still, there is time for a choice to be made of life and death Red or blue? Choose wisely and the curtain falls Then the real world comes straight into experience Red or blue? Choose wisely and the curtain falls

At last the time was near I've felt my head exploding one thousand time I've heard the universe within roaring and vibrating relentlessly I grabbed my hand to pull me out Floated through these concrete walls Ascended to the roof top Stared down the void And jumped without hasitation Vertigo is peaking It's time to leave the body Flying through the night sky With tremendous speed Vertigo is peaking It's time to leave the body The anchor was not there at all There was only a point infinite I was on my way to the golden age To the time where the night of magic happened When joy flooded the awareness of it all

It has become a monster many times The road once followed led to point blank Doubted, questioned, only to keep wondering and wondering again The hardest part was to balance now that the waterfall has run dry What virtue would it take for the true rays of sunshine to cast their omnipotent presence in a simple context of desire? To become what someone is not To break through the limitations of the vessel acquired Even though it is not the vessel, but the cascade within that drives the possibilities of becoming Of becoming the lives that were never lived That will never be lived It was never too late but as late as ever Time was never the issue What virtue would it take for the true rays of sunshine to cast their omnipotent presence in a simple context of desire? What virtue would it take for the true rays of sunshine to cast their omnipotent presence in a simple context of desire?

The star was fading Its planets slowly degraded to dust The lurking black hole was ravenlously consuming all of the system's life forms For the first time in centuries After millions of lightyears The chief commander faced the abyss within the abyss He beheld the end of the cycle The mothership went full speed ahead Grasping this last chance to take the huge leap into the ancient portal This final chance to reverse the flow of time and transform the end to a beginning The coordinates were accurate The willpower was strong The training was finally about to pay off That loop was completed The sound of phasing inverse was vast like a hundred supernovas The star was reborn anew to live again! The crew cheered in joy to celebrate the evasion of the great void! A new circle opened Flowing into eternity Flowing above and below

And I beheld the gate of the final release But how could infinity end? Endless years I walked the line within the twilight Where time was never conceived (nor space) The ladder is as ever was The ship floats as ever did The key is long discovered now to be applied May the ground not receive thee May the ground not receive thee The serpent roared, long awakened, in glorious manifestation The walls of the worlds were crashed and rebuilt To bind the imprints of the soul forever Nowhere to be found was the fear of the unknown Overflowing was the lust to dream, to dream eternally
