Obscured: The Great Aphotic Barriers

Cimmerian sights
Lightless towers
Galactic facade
Wave distorter

Dense line of frantic pleas
The sounds of dying worlds
Everything we thought we knew
Always has it been like this?

Chaos and unrest
Like a plague it spreads
Women, children and men
Human... And alien

Neutron transmitters
Surrounded by the abyss
Decipher and distort
Our visible light

From the structure I see
Infinite lightless voids
Towers raised in oppression
Controlling our evolution

Infiltrate the great barriers
Assimilate a billion years

I can hear the death throes
Of an ancient alien world
I can hear the dying screams
Of a trillion beautiful souls

In the great distance I see
The implosion of a galaxy
In the vast expanse I see
Points of light flashing then ending

Built on the deaths of a hundred million worlds
Filtering perceivable light
Creating and manufacturing our perception
Never knowing the obscured truth

In the great distance I see
The implosion of a galaxy
In the vast expanse I see
A vast array of lights ending

Cimmerian sights
Lightless towers
Galactic facade
Wave distorter

Master of the abyss
Banned from the heavens
Shrouding all our worlds
The great aphotic barriers
