Arrow of Time

When the gusts of time, a sign, travel through these realms of mine,
Soar through ancient kinds, of minds, avoid the snare of their vines.
Wars of human design, in time, the bards all write their rhymes,
Release us from these binds, you’ll find, out of the depths we’ll climb.
Steal – the sands of their prophecy
Kneel – before the shattered remains of your destiny
Flee – from the stranglehold of their name
Be free – and cast aside your chains
Erupt into the sky, fly high, and let loose azure cries,
Spread your wings, defy, descry, and lay waste to their lies.
Let loose never tire, like fire, that fuels your internal pyre,
When things seem most dire, enmired, burst forth and rise higher!
Evolve – rise above the beings of yore
Resolve – to grow beyond what came before
Resist – dark voices say you’re less than this
Insist – on power to change what they have missed
Existential dread, the battle within your head
Meaning is your own, create it with the thread
You wield with the power, of your humanistic shred
Of contemplation, perception, free your mind transcend the dead.
When the gusts of time, a sign, travel through these realms of mine,
Soar through ancient kinds, of minds, avoid the snare of their vines.
Wars of human design, in time, the bards all write their rhymes,
Release us from these binds, you’ll find, out of the depths we’ll climb.

Slaves to the sun,
deify its luminescence.
Toil under its gaze,
lest our eyes lower in its presence.
Hand of the Serpent King,
clutched around our chains.
His treach’rous pact, to gain power,
Paid with our blood, he damned us all!
Revenge!
Summon the ancient demons!
Rise!
Go and kill!
Punish!
Foolish king of serpents!
Rise!
Make him pay!
Go forth and kill!
Rise!
Lord of destruction!
Rise!
Bringer of Death!
Blood, screams and tears
The battles here drag on for years
Desecration, cosmic intervention,
Omnilateral succession,
results in destruction.
Demons dredged, from the deep.
Gods now plummet, from the heavens,
seeking swift justice,
we crushed our opposition
it didn’t stop there,
the price must be paid.
For Revenge!
We summoned the ancient demons! Destruction!
They would not obey!
Chaos!
The Titans’ devastation.
Ruin!
The price must be paid!
The Giants leer downwards.
Bury their thrones!
Pay down our debt,
With Demon heads.
Wounds Bleeding freely,
Rage won’t subside.
We turn our eyes
To the Dark and Never ending night.

Deus Ex Machina

Are we the answer?
Or the question?
To become harbingers of death,
or light of salvation?
Redemption, rejection,
epistemic fallibility.
Machinations. Consternation.
Signs of the times.
Nihilism, obfuscation,
or an objective truth?
Fundamentals for our humanity.
Knowledge weakened
through our subjectivity.
A will for transcendence
deferred to the few.
A job for the once and future philosophers.
Controlled by select few,
cattle in a queue.
We march to the slaughter,
blinded by ignorance.
The short-term solutions
maintain their view.
We rise up as one voice,
the will of the people.
The true power of leaders
lay not in the crown,
but in the hands of the
people they command.
The future is bleak.
Punishment for the weak.
They’d have us believe
the lions have been caged.
But why fear the lion
and not who holds the chains?
Redemption, rejection,
epistemic fallibility.
Machinations. Consternation.
Signs of the times.
Nihilism, obfuscation,
or an objective truth?
Fundamentals for our humanity.
Knowledge weakened
through our subjectivity.
A will for transcendence
deferred to the few.
A job for the once and future philosophers.
Controlled by select few,
cattle in a queue.
We march to the slaughter,
blinded by ignorance.
The short-term solutions
maintain their view.
We rise up as one voice,
the will of the people.
The true power of leaders,
lay not in the crown,
But in the hands of the
people they command.

Off to war at night I go,
leave behind that home I know.
Greatness, glory, honor, power,
none can thrill this ancient soul.
I’ve fought for peace and holy Creed
but these, to me, mean nothing now.
They took my land and took my home,
now no loss can grip me so!
I pack my bags and don my blade,
for what comes now it’s all I need.
That Sword I found in depths of old,
it pulses now, and in my mind
I hear the whispers of the dark.
Pushing, pulsing, accept its offer!
“Make them suffer, make them pay,
take it now you can have your way!”
Bathe in the cold embrace.
Let the void seep into your bones.
Don’t be scared, no need to resist.
Those treasonous gods, they trapped us here!
It’s not our fault, We’re innocent!
And what we offer is
Freedom! Vengeance!
Wait, what’s that? Stop and listen.
Hear the sound of the Eastern Horde!
Draw the sword, feed it blood!
Yes, that’s it! More and more!
You know this dance, drown the floor!
Until next time you are on your own!
Lost in the madness of mental disaster...
Who am I and what have I done?
Faint memories of time a long gone.
Distant, shrouding, amorphous smoke.
Struggle, struggle,
through the swamp of the mind.
There’s something here but it’s hard to find.
What am I now? And what before?
Past and present drown my soul.
In the distance, a glimmering hope!
I crawl forward and reality melts...
Shattering glass. A drowning child.
I’m torn apart, devoured by giants.
Incessant whispers in my head.
Is this my voice or a stranger instead?
I must get out, I must get out!
Are those my screams?
How could I know?
Bathe in searing embrace.
Let the fire cleanse your soul.
Your fear is fuel, you cannot resist.
No prison binds us, we're free at last!
It’s not your fault, we’re innocent.
You are only human, nothing more.
Awaken now as light returns.
You stand before Valhalla’s door.
Something’s wrong... You cannot pass...
Your demons remain! They claw you back!
The blade of demons, blade of ill.
It’s powers strong, it crushed my will...
My mind’s my own, I know it well.
Beat back the plague that stole my flesh.
A fatal mistake, overconfident slip!
Seal the cage and capture again.
Back to the gates I’m ushered now.
Ascend, beyond the realm.
