Testo di As the Earth Shatters

Cracks appear As if ripping across my eyes The world shudders As if rocked by a solar storm The horizon distorts The world, it seems blank Decrepit and dying Soulless and pointless Silent and godless Like lightning striking through my skin Smashing through every insight I have earned Evolving through a constant upheaval "The rock upon which I stand Dissolves away into the vista beyond A spire of stone ascends to the highest of air's reach I breathe deep of the frail gases And look upon this illusion With contempt and awe Take a step back as the curtain falls The view becomes one of turmoil The crackling energies upon a canvas of life It withers away To a scene of chaos Alone? I am in this erratic vision of Earth One not of blue water No... only fire-scorched stone, lifeless and dull Ever shifting as each new insight comes and goes My surroundings in tune with the wavelengths Of my consciousness I am an enigma... Made up of a perception both twisted and vile Condemned to dissolve with the broken threads of light As night rolls over to an inkier dark I shut out the smallest point of light To feast upon the chaos within
