Drive deep your eye into the shifting streams of Luna Thrust your gaze through her hymen and into Death About the scattered ruins of overcrowded phantasms Whose writhes echo the lives that they shed
The Abyss speaks if you dare to listen It howls when the Moon is drowned in Night And a step from an unmarked grave is taken And memory slips out of shape - out of sight
\"Death slips between sentence Madness slips through sense Non Sense slips into Sentience Absence seeks senseless Self\"
There you shall dissect your heart To find the room by human gods unseen Where the will to life flows inverted Into the great sleep of all our dreams
Throw the coin into the ancient waters Where heads and tails are evened out And the cogwheels rust in weary stutter At the cenotaph of doubt May your eyeglobes fall ever backwards May you swallow your own tongue Immerse the dream, dip the song, drench the kiss In Layla's deathblack wine Oh the wild waves that drift sublime Out of face - out of mind Out of reason - out of rhyme
Can you gaze any deeper? Into the cold depths where your flaming vision once fell Then know once for all That it as but the Abyss that gazed into itself...
