Everlasting Void

From the dawn of time, from emptiness
Came the age of life, replicability
Primitive man and consciousness
Of the passage of time
And the necessity of death
Death

The body, the mind
Distinct said the ancients
The ephemeral
And the immortal
Immortal

Ultimate anxiety
A need for relief
Shrouded in mystery
Suspension of disbelief
Disbelief

Knowledge from experience
Building a map of the world
Instruments of science
Perception beyond the senses
The senses

Denied, Duality
Denied, Eternity
Denied, Hereafter
Denied

Comfort through deceit
Everlasting void
Everlasting void

Beyond silence, beyond light
Centuries of fantasy
Beyond hearing, beyond sight
Confined to reality

Beyond silence, beyond light
Centuries of fantasy
Beyond hearing, beyond sight
Confined to reality

Everlasting void
Everlasting void

Final delusion
Definite termination
