Awaiting Omnipotence

It begins with a spark
An internal combustion beyond the boundaries of time
Infinite matter condensed-
The catalyst for humankind
Organic atoms shift and move
Chemicals react in the blink of an eye
Behold, the smallest lifeform
What now lives must also die
Evolution's tendrils touch the smallest strains of life
Unfolding before it- toil and strife
Natural selection breeds impervious design
Awaiting the day the universe shall be thine
To reclaim what was once mine!
Incandescent matter arranged into skin
Ancient stardust forged into bone
We are aware!
We are alive!
We are awaiting...
Omnipotence
All our achievements now laid bare before time
Endless calculations done within the human mind
From early civilization to the dawn of a new kind
We have surpassed humanity, hopeless and blind
Aeons of struggle have led to this
Sovereign over all that exists
Cosmic dust, refined with lethal force
To destroy all those who oppose our will
Omnipotence
Civilizations reduced to ash
Disintegrating those who defy
Pitiful humans, like we once were
Fuel for my wrath as millions more die
Evolution's tendrils untie the threads of life
Unraveling before it- toil and strife
Fate predecided by the ancient abyss
Every outcome would have led to this
Omnipotence

Enshrined In Embers
06:11

Though I am but a mortal man
I cast my doubts aside
For this I fear has been planned
From the dawn of time
A marionette on a string
I refuse to be
For the future belongs
To both you and me
Rushing ever faster
Repeat the process day by day
Questioning, overthinking
Is it wrong to feel this way?
Realization strikes me
I am my own beliefs
An urge to find a center
This wisdom lives inside me
A fire ignites
Lit by the flame that forms in the mind
Sparks from the visions of haunted youth
Become the embers that seal your tomb
I cast down the wisdom
In ancient books of law
I forsake this knowledge
I know exists inside all
You'll never be my master
Or my lone source of hope
In seeking all the answers
I will forever stand tall
A flame that burns inside us all
Question without an answer
Never repent and never fall
Become enshrined in embers
A fire ignites
Lit by the flame that forms in the mind
Sparks from the visions of haunted youth
Become the embers that seal your tomb
Enshrined in embers
Shall be...
Shall be your tomb
Though I am but a mortal man
I cast my doubts aside
For this I fear has been planned
From the dawn of time
A marionette on a string
I refuse to be
For the future belongs
To both you and me

A Legacy of Desolation
08:37
|

Aeons ago
From beginnings of all time
All life has evolved
By fates grand design
A tangled web of dissent
Has bred modern man
For the waging of wars
Over blood and sand
A defect in the minds
Of those who fall in line
To destroy fellow man
And never question why
Theocracy to captivate
Ruthless rulers subjugate
A primal reign inside our minds
As punishment for all mankind
Enslaved by nothing but figments
Of our own imagination
We realize what we've left behind
A legacy of desolation
2,000 years have passed
Since the fateful blaze began
Knowledge unsurpassed
Has been lost to the hate of man
Hiding behind the mask of progress
Such are the messengers of God
To enlighten all who stand before them
And wage a fictional jihad
"Blasphemous traitors must be put to the sword
Burn the tomes that mislead and confound
Such knowledge is a burden in the eyes of the lord
We must burn it all down to the ground"
Self deceit driving the spirit of man
Into heinous acts of violence
To destroy based on race and creed
Drawing lines to divide us
The curse of humanity
Imbued with potential to create
Consumed with such vanity
Leaving only destruction in our wake
We've reshaped our natural geography
We hold the power to make the stars fall from the sky
But in our masochistic way
Our race will be the first to die
We hold the potential for progress
And cast it all aside
In search of an afterlife
That eternity has denied
Aeons ago
From beginnings of all time
All life has evolved
By fates grand design
A tangled web of dissent
Has bred modern man
For the waging of wars
Over blood and sand
"Now, though meek and blind
We march side by side
Towards the divine
The stars have aligned
To proclaim we've arrived
On the other side"
Theocracy to captivate
Ruthless rulers subjugate
A primal reign inside our minds
As punishment for all mankind
Enslaved by nothing but figments
Of our own imagination
We realize what we've left behind
A legacy of desolation
