Spectral Degradation
05:41
|

Glacial edge of eternity
forever frozen still
Cosmic ancient womb
dead but forever glowing
By a light sinisterly fading
to abyssal wavelengths
Stretched by eons and eons
of boundless expansion
Their ancestral splendor
turned to everlasting solemnity
Light from the earliest worlds
shifted into spectral red end
Secrets beyond shrouded in eternal
by the spectrum of death
Into spectral red end
Unbridgeable chasms
as old as time itself
Remnants of expansion
dormant since billions of years
A ghostly presence lurks in the depths
The witness of spectral degradation

Cosmivore

|

Called from the abyss
that dwells beneath
the horizon of no-return
They became the depths of death
The gorge of galaxies
gathering mass of millions of stars
In bottomless pits draped in black
Beasts of prey
Vortexing dead end
Super massive black holes
Destroyers of worlds
Cosmivore - death's abysm
Stellarvore - dark dominion
Cosmivore
Swallowed be!
In ecstasy of their hunger for death
Ancient devouring void feasts
Below the ergosphere, forlorn
are those worlds of blackened doom
Cascades of galaxies
fall through the event horizon

Deathward and Beyond
04:47
|
|||
Plunged into eternal night
last spawn of stars has died
Collapsing in fieriest blasts
exhausting nuclear unrest
As their winds blow
As their novae glow
and then burst
With the death of the last sun
the age of starlight is done
The universe is a cosmic boneyard
strewn with remnants of dead stars
Burst – an ending in fire
Implode – an ending in flames
Deathward... and beyond
White dwarves their shrunken corpse
Black holes their monstrous outcome
Elemental furnace extinction
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla

Abyssgazer

Stare into the darkness
Coming into existence
yet doomed to be erased
in the plan of cosmic death
they observe silent
in solemn slumber
Profound cogitation of eons span
Embrace the darkest of ages
Sentient life forms
alien islands of thought
Like open eyes - the void observers
In the hostile void it has been awaken
the consciousness of all
Godspeed the abyssgazer!
Eons of cognitive cosmo
Self-aware through inert matter shapes
Stare into darkness
The abyssgazer
Millions of years
pass between each thought
As planets collide
they've disclosed their eye
Life breathes shortly
in this haven in time
Safe from the fiery birth of cosmo
and from his icy death

Horizonless
05:27
|
|||
A dark force relentless grows
As obscure, so unknown, inflation
expands beyond boundaries and bounds
inexorably opening voids
All is left is projected as shadows
upon the horizon
Draped in darkness - so be it
Endlessness manifests unknown
Horizonless
Galaxies and cosmic dust
recede beyond light-speed and fade
Singular was their seed
a multiverse's what they are
Pitch-black depths, domain of death
So be it
Chasms that light can bridge no more
hide the cosmic secrets eternally
Alone with their doom obscure
a graveyard of worlds forlorn

Depths Call Depths
05:08
|
|||
Remnants of stars dragged apart
through the void
Relentless pull of dark force
opens cosmic gorge
Monstrous black holes
coalesce and merge
Their flames turn pale
in the cosmic col
Obscurity too profound to be conceived
evaporates into quantum zeroing
Doom obscure - eons of gloom begun
Cosmic death comes slow
Doom obscure - eons of gloom begun
The abysmal chapter has come
Abysmal death enshrouding
Low signal promulgates
Abysmal void devouring
Chapter of black holes’ domain
Depths call depths
perfecting death’s totality
Depths call depths
Chasms of horrifying darkness
Depths call depths
Eons of everlasting gloom
Abyssus abyssum invocate
Omnes gorgites ad abyssum

Chasmous
06:29
|
|||
In the furthest of eons
unbound baryons decay
and black holes evaporate
as quantum radiation
Blackness is sovereign
Large-scale structures are no more
Empty oceans of photons
floating in endlessness
Devoid of light
Chasmous
The deepest of voids
Abyssal
An ending in whimper
Not in a blast, not in fire
The ultimate death
it comes in ice
Facing the expiry of everything
The death of the last black hole
bathes the universe in dim light
One last time
before the completion of darkness
Creation returned to primordial sludge
freezing to zero absolute entropy
Cosmic heat death is complete
and eternal
Nothing is all
Permanent and unchanging
at last
Time becomes meaningless
