History will render
Paradise obsolete
It's promise drifts
Further from reach
As we struggle
To compete
Overwhelmed and paralyzed
Haunted, yet desensitized
Each futile choice
Made compromised
Annihilation is
Prophesized
Wash away our monuments and idols
Shameful symbols of our innocence lost
Compelled to endure further
Pressure and anxiety
In callous service to
Romantic tragedy
The choice, has always been mine
Whether to embrace the absurd, or decline
No triumphs or visions to define
No concepts or theories to refine
There is no turning back
For what has been deemed lost
Time will be cruel in it's
Unrelenting attack

Oceans Of Wrath

The sea is rising
It will strip away
What you love
Down to the bone
It will be swift
And with little pain
But in the end
Only indifferent waters
Shall remain
The sea is rising
It will strip away
What you love
Down to the bone
I will watch you drown x3
You have no safe harbor
You have no assured sanctum
You have no stable shelter
You have no higher ground
You have no welcome refuge
You have no certain future
I will watch you drown x3
You have no privileged birthright
You have no purchased rank
You have no time to reflect
You have no promised mercy
I will watch you drown x3
No safe harbor
No higher ground
No welcome refuge
No time to reflect
No certain future
You deserve this
You will not be mourned
You deserve this
You will not be mourned
I will watch you drown
Drown
The sea is rising
It will strip away
What you love
Down to the bone

Omens hang pregnant in the air
Crowds quietly pass unaware
Little reason to resist
Despite evidence that does exist
Attention spent on things invested
So not to have comforts tested
Foreign bodies sentenced to die
Missiles carved into the night sky
State of conflict, sphere of turmoil
Soldier's rifle bucks from recoil
Satellite feed shows election
Followed by armed insurrection
Streets will soon run red with fresh blood
Bodies strewn to rot in cold mud
Epidemics spread to new hosts
Evacuees flee from the coasts
Bombers were released from stand-by
Payloads carved into the night sky
(Apocalypse, here and now)

Detachment is the only option left
Freedom, is a crime worthy of theft
With no moorings, I'm set adrift
What's left behind, scavengers will sift
No glories sought or to collect
Just the impulse to self protect
Travel time is measured in years
Humbled by, assorted fears
Adieu, the life that I used to dread
Laid to rest,uncertain what lays ahead
Breaking free, lost in flight
Ascension fades, far from sight x2
{No trace remains in reach}
Adieu, my checkered past
And all it's bonds that did not last
{No trace remains in reach}
Time cruelly wounds and steals
Yet, it mercifully heals

(Where do we go from here?)
Hand over mouth
Lost in silence
Serene displays
Within violence
Eyes wide frozen
To the detail
Exposure shows
Inhuman scale
Count one's blessings
And the losses
Hindsight blindspot
Barren causes
Seen the beyond
Touched the distance
Further still
Despite persistence
Time will tell
Or reveal nothing
Anxiously primed
Dreading something
Plague of hope
Endure each crisis
Choosing between
Fatal vices
Spheres in motion
One room world
Laying bedside
Bodies curled
Seen the beyond
Touched the distance
Further still
Despite persistence
