The Purest Black

From the first breath, you’ve been inquisitive
What lies above the sky, beyond the sun, on the other side?
The more answers you find, the more questions unfurl
What comes after this world?

Forever left unanswered
Forever left untouched
Forever left unknown
The purest black is not for the living to go.

Guided by deceiving light
You follow the stars
To empty planes of the night
There is only truth in the dark
In the vacuum of void, you won’t like what you’ll find
It will swallow your heart.

Even within the infinite existence is finite
If you were to reach this body’s nebulous nightside
Would you expect an otherworldly Empyrean to behold?
Or would you quake with fear before nothingness consumes you whole?

Forever left unanswered
Forever left untouched
Forever left unknown
The purest black is not for the living to go.

From the first breath, you’ve been inquisitive
Fly with a child’s sense of wonder, sweet yet primitive
Into darkness beyond what eyes can see
In search of the purpose you need.

Countless years you’ve been searching this place
Losing hope, your head fills to the brim with regret
It’s getting dark and beauty starts to fade
The farther you go, the emptier it gets.

As you float in your own embrace
You are left here alone to speculate
Are we just a speck of meaningless soil?
A microscopic atom in the big black void?

Where do we go?
We will never know.

The purest black
The purest black.

Where do we go?
The purest black
We will never know
The purest black.
