Lunar Strain

For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space.

For there is a knowledge more complex
Than life on this planet
A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars.

Lunar strain.

All across the milky way
Life suffers defeat
Life that once was treasured.

What once was nothing
Has blossomed into form
Once it was I that was nothing
But now they say I will die.

All across the galaxy
Life suffers defeat.

Lunar strain.

From nothingless to reality
As we see it
From nothingless to life
My dismal tears of anguish
Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven
Loneliness is pain.

Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain
Serenity is might
Yet we shall be honoured
In the starforsaken night.

Astral strain
All around my silent moon
Life suffers defeat.

Astral strain.

For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space.
