There was a flash of light, now there's nothing,
A taste of the infinite before we fell to the void,
And in the vacuum where we became broken,
We lost our eyes as vestigial structures,
So now we're feeling along in the dark, playing our part,
Where there's no walls and no answer,
We've been searching for rhyme and reason, for solidarity,
But our find is only quiescence.
There was an echo that bounced off the floor into an empty sky,
And when it faded it took our reason why,
No more past, no more hope, no future security,
Just an empty filter where our dreams used to be,
We were empty to start, and abandoned at the dawn,
But now we lie in pieces with bleeding hands and faces drawn,
From a shattered glass and words that cut so sweet,
But maybe we were never meant to be complete.
And when the light receded,
And the dark crept back into our souls,
We tore out our brother's tongues,
Just to wash in blood our worthless gold.
