A Photic Doom

Cattle Decapitation

8

This accretion where gas and dust consolidate

Under gravity′s control began a wasteland alone

No sign of life, intelligence has no roleCompounds of four elements, the beginning molecules of a soul

Geyser of light peers through the darkness

No ocean, no atmosphere

Hadean eon rise

Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Here where all faith goes to die

Where we are damned by the light

Complex sequence of elements

Bond together life's essence

Sugars, enzymes, proteins, deoxyribonucleic acid

From the kingdom to the order, bricks and mortar of a doomed future

A spirit born in the darkness, a new species to arise

Exothermic and heartless with a penchant for earthly demise

Thriving in the light-less

No need for hope, a future with no illumination and sightless

And grown without incandescence

Skin starts to burn in the light

Vampiric nightmare

The cracking of the sun through the night

Irradiated, alight, the uphill battle of life

Destroying dark

Oppressive light, brilliance alive

Avoid the spark that ends this night, damning sun rise

Geyser of light peers through the darkness

No ocean, no atmosphere

Hadean eon rise

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here

Father Lucifer, our light still casts a shadow

In that emptiness, we hide behind its veil

Smashed across the rocks and bleeding in the shallows

In our quest for light, we′ve aimed our paths to fail

Skin starts to burn in the light

Vampiric nightmare

The cracking of the sun through the night

Goddamn the light
