I - The Banishing II - The Sphere III - The Children of Coma
I
The visions might have appeared in a lucid dream Space feels eternal, the trance must have settled in Gazing straight into the ether to unearth the key Motionless for hours yet miles away from here
The gateway now behind, and the Mysteries far ahead As the trees close in above me, no one left by my side The pinnacle looks furthest, still I relish the path To ensnarement and latitude, away from shame and doubt
To transcend the bounds of consensus reality And to cherish the nascent cognitive liberty
I traverse further above, then further down to rebuild Clouds begin to disperse, as abstract truths are revealed Surviving trials of an age, uprooted within inner depths Their bright shadow echoing in the dark splendour of the universe
To abide all fear and embrace the mystery As we savour the flesh of untold possibility
To reveal, to revive, to be at cause To shatter the illusion of complacence and vice To face the unfamiliar and bend the linear To never take a seat at the play of chance
I beseech thy effigy to indulge me this once Maul and crush my body and blow my mind
II
Illuminated or buried in life I flee the claws of self-deceit And, free from the shackles of conceit and vanity To will, to live and to defy insanity To trance-migrate into states of divinity To feel the force of the uncertain and Vital
The sphere is turning, its dark maw wide open The spurious light that once blinded now frozen Quod est inferius, est sicut quod est superius Thus is the glory of the world begotten Ubique Daemon - ubique Deus My bloodstream the ink to a contract eternal Into the vast, freer than ever, I fall

The children of coma Crammed into a corner They've noticed my presence They are staring at me
Their eyes cut the darkness Their laughter breaks the silence They've noticed my presence They are smiling at me
Their eyes slice the darkness Their laughs infest the silence They've noticed my presence They are seeing into me
