Lunar Strain

For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of spaceFor there is a knowledge more complex
Than life on this planet
A knowledge in tune with the progress of starsLunar strainAll across the milky way
Life suffers defeat
Life that once was treasuredWhat once was nothing
Has blossomed into form
Once it was I that was nothing
But now they say I will dieAll across the galaxy
Life suffers defeatLunar strainFrom nothing less to reality as we see it
From nothing less to life, my dismal tears of anguish
Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven
Loneliness is painEmptiness is power, loneliness is pain
Serenity is might
Yet we shall be honored
In the star forsaken nightAstral strain
All around my silent moon
Life suffers defeatAstral strainFor there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
