Dark Nebula

Absorb the radiation into blackness
Photo-degradation in the depths within
Shrouds of creation, cold emptiness
The black serpent writhes in the solar wind.

Conceal the secret knowledge from events before
Cloud the peering eye from what lies beyond the door
Slumbering in the black cocoon
Mistress of the night, a solar moon (solar moon!).

Into the night, seeker of light
Into the day, impermeate
Into the sore to find what hurts more
Into the unknown to see what we own.

Watch it collapse as it contracts
Watch it unfold out of control
Unstoppable force, growing remorse
A magnetic field the future will feel.

The strange ways that we keep face
Gravitation holds our place
We never seem to change our pace
Forward on to win the race.

Congregation in the cell
Manic pulse of thought upwells
Deep inside the dark eclipse
A growing metamorphosis.

Trapped inside deception and lies
Trapped inside the growing madness in my mind.

All of the time spent, all of the years
All of the moments that led me to this place
What will I do now that I am here?

I walked inside the black serpent of the sky
My eyes were drawn to a Sun within the dark nebula.

The wheel revolves contorting time and space
Twisting strings that form the astral plane
The dark creature begins the chase
Holding the mane of the beast to meet our fate
A stark contrasting blob infects our sight
Riding further into the night
A search to be content with what we are
And to look and find a place among the stars.

Desperately, we arrive... anywhere
A place we never planned to be...
