Lyrics
The Pendulum
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What a marvelous beauty that is
That of an incomprehensible abyss
As astonishing as the sun,
yet so hideous in its vagueness
What an agony to exist
Balancing between matter and nihil
As simple as the feel of the wind
Yet vast like a cosmic ocean
How the subconscious is able to provide
A layer that severs perception from nothing
An amalgam of incoherent entities
that form the essence of life
Dwelling on the brink of void
In the shade of the eyelid
A scarlet shape crawls
Inside the eyes a projection
An organic machine
slowly molding reality
The pendulum demands
To cherish the relentless pace of time
Amidst eleven dimensions
Matter collapses to the glint of a moment
The failure of the abyss
It's inability to judge
beyond the terms of its likeness
Bound to its very being
An eagle untethered in its cage
Pondering upon the human potential
The social reflection of the abyss
Condemned to be biased against its own existence
Still meant to transcend its natural limits
In the shade of the eyelid
A scarlet shape crawls
Inside the eyes a projection
An organic machine
slowly molding reality
