lyrics

Utopia achieved
Scarcity alleved
Perfection encapsuled
Other worlds untold
Metropolis is naught
With galaxies we know not
Full mastery of but one
Lacks empathy, imperfection
We must caress the universe
With our scribes we shall attain
The wealth of existentiality
Thus of darkness we are strained

Archives grow, outer knowledge flows
The seeds of empathy and perspective sow
Flattened sights to extroversion
Dimensional augmentation
In galactic shift we become immersed
The watchful eye of the Universe
Thirst for knowledge causes logos lapse
Eyes run dry from cognitive collapse

The archives loom over graying sands
Our world forgotten, perfection wan
The former bastions of triumphant craft
Wither to memories of a crumbling land
Paradoxical is perpetual search
A grasp for stars on the canyon's edge
The wanting scribe lost in endless space
The echoes fading of his perfect race
The answer lies in the face of two
The minds of ours, the planetary strew
A macro-historical symphony
A song encompassing the universal sea
O crafter of music, you shall leave at once
The song of songs awaits within and out
Your task pervades all endeavours hence
The championing craft of all existence

about

Angel Grave Chicago, Illinois

A raging supernova of distortion, clave worship, swing, psychedelia, and whatever musical matter is caught in orbit. All that's certain is groove and danger.
