Leveling

Looking back with sight beyond time

An aeon changes at the rest of the celestial I

Destroyer lifts a heavy lid

It’s sure felt like a while

A great exhalation and a parting smile

Where all paths converge and fade to an aether of blood

Procession unto the final stage

Gaze at the face of all we’ve loved

The tower’s coming down

We come in reveling

Great day of leveling

Our symptoms are all the same

These cities of the plain

Now walk against the ash of all we’ve sown

With embers of the old, the new way shone

Within the burning hall of shattered thrones

The fallen shall not rise

Still something builds a home

So marks an end to all that we have known

The dead past quickly fades

The gates crash closed

And the walls crumble as we greet our foes

The jaws open; flames enclose our world

No words spoken

Figures broken

Pouring from the opened skies

Surmise reason

“Because” stops breathing

Witness at the melting of our lives

Lay waste!

Receive: God mind

False belief falls away

Open: Great eye

Lightning enlighten the soul

And so unfolds

The augurs’ prognostication

Now great birds paint our horizon black and red

And in a swoop devour nations

While on the microcosmic plane

So too do old structures fall

Ride forth on splintering wheels

How our world reels as its engine stops

Our answers came for us today

They’re all we dreamed

Though not as we hoped

And so it goes sometimes

And so it goes away

Babylon, babylon

Upon the beast she rides

It is one, as we fall down

The future is bright!

All fall down like children, tumble like statues, fall like great rome

Rise, rise, rise like monuments, like crucifixions, like ascending gods

Torrent crash forward, clearing the way, breaking old forms

Current rush onward, love under will igniting our blood

The drawing storm clouds look like war

The struggle’s over

There’s nothing left worth fighting for

And likely, there never was

Now in unity: Cessation

Here as flames rise and owls descend

Songs all once sang no one sings again

But laid in the tarot and cast in the runes

For a new aeon there comes a new tune

The stars are revealed and fall from the sky

The pyre we’ve lit devours the night

The decree is given, great order arise

In glory crowned we meet our demise

Walls to the heavens we built with our hands

Rendered to the void, they forever stand

Striking the shell, that vast enemy

In ruins of self, at last we are free!

And now the rites of old are black

End of a universe; last vision, look back

To an evaporating road of marrowless bones

As one eye opened the other closed
