Abandoned by Light - Turning Towards the Black Cascade

Turning Towards the Black Cascade


Obsidian steps leading towards truth
Carrying forward the seed into the light
Eyes open to witness the turn of the sun
And hands stretch forth towards the earth

Turning towards the black cascade
Bloodied and broken bodies contorted
To witness the endless expanse of oblivion
Miniscule figures under the hand of Gods

Celestial chariot pulling the moon forward
Stars cast recklessly into the blackness
Hands reach from the earth towards the deep
Portraits in the heavens brought downward

Sacred fires eternally burning in shadow
Blind children wrapped in blankets of stars
Eyes turned towards the endless expanse
The hand of the Gods brought down again

Collapsing upon the obsidian steps
Turning towards the black cascade
The seed decayed and crumbled to dust
The hands grow old and wither in light

Turning towards the black cascade
Discarded eyes watch the fires dwindling
As heavens fall and become dust in time
Phantasmal celestials fade into unlit past

Celestial chariot chasing the dwindling sun
Stars abandoned to burn into the night
Hands reach from the earth towards the deep
The secrets of the moon reflected in black seas
