Silence — Dark Fortress

Scorched by time and death And a bloated sun long since shriveled The waste lies cold before me God’s creation ground to a shroud that stretches From horizon to horizon When all are dead And all is gone

Not a breath stirs the air The faded moon finds only dust Crowded in the grip of a celestial wrath Forever drifting through infinite frozen void I exalt, alone at last

Behold my kingdom From horizon to horizon When all are gone At last descends the silence

Wide awake to receive this bliss Free of hate, free of pain, free of the need to escape Everflowing, everglowing abyss Drink my spirit, beget new shape

For even ruins shall reminisce In powdered bone the lark of djinns and jinxes And from afar the story hiss And lucid moans of copulating sphinxes
