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
  
 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
