lyrics

I gaze at the abyss unafraid, undisturbed
For I know it’s a mere reflection of myself
I was born with fifty eyes, all blind but one, the third
That percepts and intersects all the darkness around

For I am umbra, the adumbration, the shade of antimatter

For the immensity of oblivion I march assured
Given I never reaped the endowment of prehension
In paradox I dwell, for comprehension I grasp well
Vortex-like ambiguity, in whirling absurdity – that’s me

For I am umbra, the adumbration, the shade of antimatter

With taint intention, I claim quintessential knowledge
Deterred and encumbered by this blinding ardor
And as I rage, the outburst is aimed to appease a greater malevolence
As I irrupt, and thoroughly drape words I can barely define

For I am umbra, the adumbration, the shade of antimatter

I gaze at the abyss again, countering all its lost glory
I am now old, drained, collapsing towards my own darkness
The gnostic eye is closing, my sophic amble fades rapidly
And all that is left is the abyss that stares back at you.
