Nihil Messiah

“Listen, are we helpless? Are we doomed to do it again and again and again? Have we no choice but to play the Phoenix in an unending sequence of rise and fall? Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Carthage, Rome, the Empires of Charlemagne and the Turk: Ground to dust and plowed with salt. Spain, France, Britain, America—burned into the oblivion of the centuries. And again and again and again. Are we doomed to it, Lord, chained to the pendulum of our own mad clockwork, helpless to halt its swing?
This time, it will swing us clean to oblivion.”
Walter M. Miller Jr.

“I mean, what do you do, when you find that things are not what you were taught they’re supposed to be?
What do you do with the desperation that boils up from your stomach when you know there’s a road out there with your destination at the end of it, but it’s too damned dark to even find the road?
You turn and turn and turn around like a dog trying to escape.
Shrieks in the cavity of your head that so urgently needs to be filled with facts and challenges.”
Harlan Ellison

“Where’s the truth”? What’s to be believed? Or does it matter at all?”
Walter M. Miller Jr.

Sacred beings have been turned to none
By the light of ITs omnipotence
The One sent through the gates of nothing
Has blurred ITs eternal presence.
In days of doubt
The image was made
Not by the ones being faithful
But those being scared
And yet all the miracles
Were made by a shade
And through the centuries
Their blood will be shed

Bow down to me
For my words were meant to be unbroken
Thee will be worlds and dimensions
And ITs reign will be broken

What lies beyond!?
Wrong questions no answers!
Led astray
Nothing but
Cattle to the slaughter
Wrong decisions
The only effect
Handicapped creatures
Thy image
PERFECT!

Undelivered prayers
Will weaken thy soul
Shatter the things you beloved
No cries will be heard
In the ocean of nothing
Perfect minds
Still too shallow to comprehend
Still too shallow to embrace IT.

Strings pulled by nihil
Strings pulled by none
Empty illusions of fate and hope
Nihil Messiah
The Absent God

Sacred beings have been left undone
A fragile dirt, fracturable clay
One empty promise
Forever delayed
And still they have followed
His knowledge in vain
Hoping for purpose
Of hatred and pain
None of the promises
Were meant to be kept
The circle of nothing
ITs reign won’t be swept!
The gathering of blindfolded fools

I am the way
I am the one who remains
For thee I lay my life on the altar
I am the cleansing fire

What lies beyond!?
Wrong questions no answers!
Led astray
Nothing but
Cattle to the slaughter
Wrong decisions
The only effect
Handicapped creatures
Thy image
PERFECT!
