Hymns to the New Land

Before mankind
Before there was time
Before the light
There was only the night
So he worships thee
So rebelliously
And if the light dies
There’ll be only the night!
How can they not suffer?
How can they still breathe?
While all they’ll ever see
Is only the light to be?
Be aware of those
Trying to change the color of night
No explanation for
This strange human kind
Be aware of those
Only following the bright
No explanation for…
Eternal eyes
And emotions so vile
In darkness they hide
Beneath the spheres of mind
The depths hide
Such an obsessive kind
Undefinable to thy
Oh — such an erotic flight
How can they not suffer?
How can they still breathe?
While all they’ll ever see
Is only the light to be?
Be aware of those
Trying to change the color of night
No explanation for
This strange human kind
Be aware of those
Only following the bright
No explanation for…
Eternal night
As the power of might
Abandon all life
Watch the sun now die!
He wanders through time
Till death he finds
Enthralled in essence
He creates new land
