Beam of eternal light

Brought into complete darkness

Expanding yet focused

Finite yet unbounded

See through this cracked glass

Break it, let it show you

The whole sum

Tell right from wrong

Go beyond the scope of yourself

Blind to the heart,

Where no light can reach

Deaf to the pleas

Lost in a stream of tears

Where I dwell

The usurper

The emperor of the fallen

Can I give a meaningful notion

To save you, save myself

All of us

A single blow

Lost in a blur

It was enough

To make you blind

Reaching higher and higher

New ways of self-deception

Intricate cognitive systems

Everything falls into its place

Beam of eternal light

Brought into complete darkness

Expanding yet focused

It made us blind

Can we blame our supposed savior

Tell right from wrong

Go beyond the scope of yourself

Blind to the heart,

Where no light can reach

Deaf to the pleas

Lost in a stream of tears

The dice has been thrown

The game rigged a long time ago



And when your pride fails you

Remind me
