Polarity (Nelson)
08:25

Dare to think of all as time bombs
Through the gaze of morbid eyes
Brave the dark, and with sight gone
Only now can you see the light
In this crux burdened lifelong:
The polarity of life and death
Flooding dread of the unknown
Drowns a bitter final breath
Misbegotten survival
For existence is terminal
Flesh never could rival
And all are dead on arrival
(Dead on arrival)
Embrace the polarity
Living: The gauntlet tempers the steel
And yet for naught is all prosperity
Dying: Silence shrouds what is real
We shall embrace this polarity
The paradox: living is lethal
We stoke illusions where nothing is certain
The macrocosm's retrieval
Frailty seeks to uplift such burdens
In life, we balance upon needles
Some draw the lines, others toil for clarity
But in death, we'll prove equal
Don't bide time to embrace this polarity
Misbegotten survival
For existence is terminal
Flesh never could rival
And all are dead on arrival
Destiny of deprival
In spite of instinct most primal
Flesh never could rival
And all are dead on arrival
Embrace the polarity
Living: The gauntlet tempers the steel
And yet for naught is all prosperity
Dying: Silence shrouds what is real
We shall embrace this polarity
Breathing: A function pondered vainly
Sows life, yet it's proof of our frailty
Ceasing tends to move one strangely
Shifts their eyes across this duality
Oblivion beckons as Satan to Eve
Our minds are voracious, on darkness they feed
Cognition awaits, eclipsed by our reach
Where sun is the truth we must learn but not teach
Oblivion beckons, Satan to Eve
Our ravenous minds, on darkness they feed
Cognition is lying, just out of reach
Where sky is the truth, deaf to this speech
Embrace the polarity
Through omnipresence, drawing near is fate
So trivial in essence, quests to mitigate the end
Where we distract ourselves through our diligence
Instead to further an ongoing quest for significance
Until the hourglass sands stain with our macabre state
Unconcerned by if we've succeeded to alleviate the end
Let us distract ourselves through our diligence
To find it's outweighed by a looming insignificance in the end
All is outweighed in the end...

...Justice Denied

Justice denied
Father Time does not wait
Bitter tastes thy fate
Surrender your mind
Lest justice be denied
Fruitlessness in seeking the absurd
Such will never be nor has occurred
Time has ways of siphoning one's will
Life demands this balance be fulfilled
But to feel alive is to elude the kill
Abundance of life
Sifts through aeons of death
It's equilibrium
In the cosmic breath
Yet what we seek... is justice delayed turned justice denied
Peer into moribund eyes, thou shan't shine thy friend
But only revelation that the beginning is the end
Sentenced into nothingness, existing was the crime
Contradicting the maxim to a ceaseless marching of time
To live is to die
Justice delayed, justice denied
Inhaled by infinity, none spared and none saved
A demigod status only widens the grave
Liberty desired in perpetual delay
Death, like this coda, brings us back to which we've strayed

Event Horizon

Conflicting temperatures fracturing glass
Apathetic cold against hellish wrath
The glass pane shatters to reveal no soul
With fractured conscience, seeking to be whole
Severing hands to escape from shackles
In a mental wasteland but ruins and jackals
Rendered faceless with no facade
Rendered soulless yet no longer flawed
Now this is hell, there's no veneer
And to think the worst still isn't found here
This path I walk is to stifle such fear
Where only in the dark can you see through the clear
To dwell in these thoughts so they may go unspoken
As their weight on the mind rends it asunder past broken
Now dwelling in thoughts of what could have been
If only I'd seen the beginning is the end
Conflicting temperatures fracturing glass
Apathetic cold against hellish wrath
The glass pane shatters to reveal no soul
With fractured conscience through this black hole
Perhaps fear dies with us, as does all
After all, existence is terminal
May it be for you as it is for I
For it's in this way all life begets life
The boldest truth or the most comforting lie?
As nocturne brings the ebb of sky
Maranasati and atheus mortem
Seconds are fleeting and yet who can afford them?
Two contradictions in coexistence
Bracing to trek the unfathomable distance
For only in the dark can you see through the clear
With this vessel dies fear
Perhaps fear dies with us, as does all
After all, existence is terminal
As we pass on through the dilating eye
For it's through this pull all life begets life
