Ater Continum Lyrics


Searching for the eye of God

I only saw one vast orbit, black and bottomless

hence the night that inhabits it shines

on the world and always thickens

A strange rainbow surrounds this dark well

threshold of the old chaos whose nothingness is

the shadow, spiral engulfing Worlds and Days!

The sun was there, dying in the abyss

The star, in the depths of the fog, without the air that

revives it, grew cold, gloomy and slowly destroyed

You could see its sinister roundness in the night

and in this gloomy silence one could see

its fiery ulcers diminishing under a leprosy of shadow

Around it time, space, number, form and noise expired

creating the formidable and dark unity of nothingness

The Specter Nothing lifted its head out of the abyss
