Burden of Recurrence Lyrics


All mortal substance that is

Scatters and gathers

Forms and dissolves

Aligns and comes asunder

Infinite impermanence

Of all that comes to be

But never is

Perpetual reiteration

In the helix of existence

Labyrinthine continuum

Of enigmatic symmetries

Ephemeral configurations

Patterns form and dissolve

Converge, Repulse, Align, Collide

A nameless, endless procession

Wandering between the horizons

Multitudes, in perennial progression

From forgetfulness to oblivion

A vast and plodding pilgrimage

A drift between the eternities

A vanishing into nothingness

Into absolute and perpetual

Obscurity

No arrival, no ascent

Crawling onwards, to never meet an end

Mankind's tragedies and trivialities

A burden of recurrence

In the absence of finality

Labyrinthine continuum

Of enigmatic symmetries

Ephemeral configurations

Patterns form and dissolve

Converge, Repulse, Align, Collide

Infinite impermanence

Of all that comes to be

But never is

Perpetual reiteration

In the helix of existence

Step after step

On a circuitous path

Perpetuated while eternity lasts

Step after step

Again and again

Forever to return

No arrival, no ascent

Crawling onwards to never meet an end

Mankind's tragedies and trivialities

A burden of recurrence

In the absence of finality

What has been melts into what will be

Again, Again, Again, and Again

Forever and ever

Unfolding then undone

Become, to be gone

The world turns

All turns to dust

Scattering winds

Sowing seeds of ash
