Universal Reign

from Babel by Roman Ring

lyrics

And true omnipotence brought forth life
Ex nihilo – The sole sustainer of existence
Intangible

The Alpha and the Omega
The absolute origin of all that is animate

All matter, energy, and organization
The creator, questioned by his creation

The observer remaining spited by the observed
Yet was not man given free will and a cerebrum?
A choice between good or evil and a consciousness to yearn
If so, dismiss the inquisition of war, famine, and disease

Let it be known, that hate, malice, and death are nothing more than reaping seeds

Planted in the hearts of the corrupted
Envenomed by the fury
Its ire polluting man
With its obscured plague

Yet the denied is the accused
Blood on the hands of the non existent
The absentee in which they loathe
The washing away of blood, sweat, tissue and bone
The decomposition of vessels
Left to erode

Although death is of the fury
The observer is left to blame
Although they deny him of existence, impious mortals blaspheme his name
Regardless of divine intervention, this truth remains unchanged
Like man his grace
Left to erode

Consciousness is merely a beginning
A prelude to the afterlife
AFTERLIFE

For what good is creation without purpose?
To eat, drink, and rust away
Or exist infinitely, ultimately without cause?

Such existence is trivial
Accept or reject this truth

Regardless, the observer’s glory shall flourish

And the maelstrom shall continue
Until ambition is fulfilled
