Paroxysm of Atoms

Cold War burns hot through the globe
Leave your bombs and steal lives
Insignificance is priority among feeble minds
Carve history in flame
To the barren crust
hate prevailed and anger consumed
Corrupt power stays safe
In their man made lies
The lives of your lesser
Are left to suffer the consequences
Nature stopped being the threat
And man turns upon itself
Teeth and claws
Rip the flesh
From the ones so similar
Seals of the apocalypse
Opened by imaginary lines
Cannons brought between men
Countries burn disputed dirt
Toxic ash rains upon
The very Earth
They fought to control
Nuclear warfare
Burns the innocent
Paroxysm of Atoms
Fire falls on the land
Rich ones escape
The leaders of man
Those who take flight
And leave this rock
Survive for now
And save their flock
Nuclear warfare
Burns the innocent
Paroxysm of Atoms

Spacebound Epidemic

Launch!
Launch!
Launch!
Launch!
Manned spaceflight
To the outer cosmos
Our time here is done
Flee the missile fallout
Some were left behind on Earth to die alone
Perpetual winter is their life now
Now
The disease
Begins to spread
Feed
The hungry must be fed
Desperate to fill their needs
Heat of Io
Geothermic energy
Has been drained
Find a planet with life
To fill our resources
Take all
Kill all
No need for native fauna
We must go deeper
Excavate it!
Pestilence will consume us
Galaxies will fall before us
Pestilence will consume us
Galaxies will fall before us
Space bound
Spacebound epidemic
Space bound
Spacebound epidemic
Space bound
Spacebound epidemic
Space bound
Spacebound epidemic
Pestilence will consume us
Galaxies will fall before us
Pestilence will consume us
Galaxies will fall before us

Xenophobia
04:57

Darkness
Has engulfed the world
Light now a tragic mistake
Science is understood
But empathy ignored
Hide behind your skin
As the soul chokes on greed
Damn those with opposing views
Who look to grace and mercy
Given to the lambs
Slain by trusted hands
Crucify the answers
And weaponize the questions
Fear of skin and wicked deeds
Done in the search for power
Destined for a greater purpose
Free will is a sacred honor
Given to those
Whose only debt
Is to each other
Xenophobia
Fuels humanity
Moving failure forward
Away
From self sufficience
Sentient life arose
With a guiding hand
Supple opportunity
For all of man
What can you say
That you have said first
Weak and shallow languages
Fail to detail
Complex existences
Flesh to evolve all together
Man exists here
For the reason
Of sustaining love
Build up for another
Rather than tear at nature
Come out
From your hell
And sow this message
Which is found
Do the locks of hatred
Fill your chest
With molten lead?
The key of understanding
Is well within the grasp
Of anyone
That listens
To the cries of help
Fear of skin and wicked deeds
Done in the search for power
Destined for a greater purpose
Free will is a sacred honor
Given to those
Whose only debt
Is to each other
Xenophobia
Eats humanity
Consume the world
Why?

Drifting through the void
A rip in time and space
Through a higher plane of dimension we travel,
To another place
Annihilate our failure
And purify
It is here we begin
Our journey
Reality bends
As light strips away
Through crushing gravity
A singularity
Approaching horizons
As our dimensions fade
Fray!
Existing here
There is a darkness
Not understood
By your kind
It's empty
Open
Free
From matter
"Start Here
Our home is epsilon bootis which is a double star
We live on the sixth planet of seven
Counting outward from the which is larger of the two
Our sixth planet has one moon
Our fourth planet has three
Our first and third planets each have one
Our probe is in the orbit of your moon
This updates the position of arcturus shown on our maps"
Humans travel
Using light differentials
We cross space
By our own means
Manufactured singularities
Allow for our control over gravity
Using the folds of space-time
We arrive
Where the humans
Have settled

{I. Arrival}
Here arrive the ancients
From whom our genes were cut
Mankind forged in their corporeal form
We descend
Waves berate the ground
Scattered pieces shall be found
The black knight sky
A beacon to a crimson morning
Ships arriving
Colony to colony
The disease has spread
An infected galaxy
Where all sins
Have become clear
(Time suspended in pulsing pools of probability
Waveforms collapse with reflexive inertia
Fleets set sail on evanescent waves
Spinning through the quantum foam
Sympathetic vibrations resonate fermion form
Substrate loops unravel conscious current)
Dyadic black holes
Locked in a doomed dance
Photon spheres
Relinquish entangled baryons
Antipodes allocated
To each binary brother
Held beyond their will
As an equivalence paradox
Deconstructive interference
Of a horizon vortex
Inverse phase projection used to expose
Negative neutrons in naked singularity
Into the maw of dark expanse
Minds separate from bodies
And woven through ethereal fields
Spirits untainted
Bodies augmented
We have become
Integrated
Our biology
Fused with technology
Enhanced symbiotically
We are Cybergenerated
Lucifer's surface scourged by leveling winds
Those of our dominion
Burned on Icarian wings
Rotation negated
A sun's traitorous neutronium
Arctic cenotaphs of desire
Trapped beside hell's burning pyre
Myopic Martians
Mine the core of Eden cold
An oxidizing atmosphere
Extinguished by solar wind
Industrialized gifts unearned
Saviors cradling defiled creation
Monuments of prediluvian armageddon
Stone monuments are all that remain
Sacred symbols left in ruins and superstition
Monolithic chronicles from past predecessors
Polar strikes of compressive flux
Directly to the dynamo
Set forth
Geomagnetic reversal
Bathing the Earth
In coronal fire
Our biology
Fused with technology
Enhanced symbiotically
Evolution
Telepathic communication
Mechanical cognition
Cured of mortal affliction
We are Cybergenerated
{II. Annihilation}
Everything you are
Will be erased
Expunging evidence
Of your existence
Trillions of lives
Whisked away
By the vacuum of space
As their remnant domain is destroyed
Disillusioned spawn
Temples succumb
To cacophonous screams
Eradicating all resistance
Star quakes eclipse the sky
With blinding white radiance
Cancerous webs
On corpses
Of populous planets
A stain in stasis
On black planes
Of absence
Eviscerate our descendants
Oblivious to oblivion
(No Escape)
This infection must perish
Subscribed to ideology
(A futile struggle)
To transcend the echoes of savages
On the wrong side of history
(And atoms feed the stars)
Communication is critical
To the soul of cosmic mind
Morphogenic fields of fractalization
Vying for the focus of our attention
Opinions forged
From entropic compression
Lead our hearts away
From spiritual intention
Subject to our punishment
Our souls lament
As we die
Frozen blood
Cast in dark satin
We are clever apes
But far from wise
(Prisons of hypocrisy)
Nothing but the dust
We stand on
(Condemned by our ignorance)
Morality not revealed
By the mouths
Of modern pharisees
(Shackled by our arrogance)
But through connections with divinity.
(Profound wisdom lost through interpretation)
Setting suns to Supernova
Slaughter our corrupted kin
Redirecting rocky orbits
Burn them all and start again
Graphene ships
Are paper boats
Beneath our heels
Unwilling to break their mortal chains
Never free from fleshly sins
Enticed by lust and greed and pride
Seduced by sloth and gluttony
Hatred fueled by wrath and envy
{III. Rebirth}
Turn your face to the skies
From these ashes will rise
A new hope for mankind
Will they (We) succeed this time
History is an hour glass of truth
Fastened to its time and steadfast to bury any preconditions in its sands
Alone in our unique cosmic connection to self-organized systems
The memories of underlying mycelia beckoned a greater interface
We integrated our biological blueprints into planets' ecosystem networks
By shaping the biota to that of our oldest known origin
Creation in its image
And humans in our own
With Humanity stripped from the galaxy
A new beginning has been granted
To those deemed worthy by the values and talents they possess
These are the Chosen that will be the next rebirth of humanity
The fourth attempt to cultivate the seed of sentience fell to the desires of resource control
A fresh array of variables in place
The ancients continue their task
And set forth a new test measuring their failures in time
Restored like a phoenix from the flame
Humanity is tasked with carrying the torch
They have been given
By their creators
