PART I IN THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE
The final plague
Unstoppable refraction of the essential self
The human strain weakens
We are dilute
We are divided
Aliens in our own bodies
Technology becomes the only way to assist the living
Destined to become analogies of ourselves
Touring-conscious facsimiles
Programmed believers
Chase the dragon of salvation
In search of the Garden Of Eden.
No such place is found
Nor was it ever a place but a way
A combination of actions
Presence intention
Rediscovered through accidents
Vicarious escapades
Knowledge was made actual
Made visible and with weight
"Now we can see it"
Say the children of the grave
"There's nothing between us except what we make".
PART II PERIHELION CONTINUUM
Radioactive waves deafening
Taunting daunting voids everywhere
Surround sound of nothing, nothing
No new vision of the universe
Nowhere the mind and soul collide
When I reach the perihelion
The long way around where the past is found.
I can't feel anything at all
No instincts that I recall
I can't feel anything at all
I have no primal urges
Just a circuit driving surges
To sustain no life at all.
There's a disturbance in the plenum
Anomaly of great magnitude
Am I spinning in continuum?
Or flying apart from solitude.
I spin in all directions
With no key to the legends
I spin in all directions
With no way to pass dimensions
In your haze of your pollution
Masks of faith and pride and superstition.
PART III SALVATION FOUND
Near the jump gate
Seems the only way out
Can't contemplate
Go within go without
Inside infinity
Spiral put of control
Dividing trinity
Colliding mind and soul
Taunting daunting haunting
No end detectable
Next to impossible
Spinning upside down
The long way round
Salvation found.
PART IV ALL WORLDS ALL TIMES
I see the starlight in your eyes
A billion beaming lights
Embrace you in my mind
I have traveled all this time
I recognize who I was and what I am
Been to places I can't explain
Trade tomorrow for my pain
I have crossed between the planes
And this love can never die
Lives on in ever after
See the starlight in my eyes.
Resigned to lead a life alone
Exploring all that is
All worlds all times
Now i feel I can't go on
Without you in this life
And all the love inside
Ascending into space
All worlds all times
An all familiar place
Earth-like sunshine
I feel the starlight in our eyes
Starlight
Sunshine
Moonbeam
Earth-like.
