Across the vein of night
There cuts a path of searing light
Burning like a beacon
On the edges of our sight
At the point of total darkness
And the lights divine divide
A soul can let its shadow stretch
And land on either side --
Either side

And balanced on the precipice
The moment must reveal
Naked in the face of time
Our race within the wheel
As we hang beneath the heavens
And we hover over hell
Our hearts become the instruments
We learn to play so well

Wealthy the spirit 
That knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter 
Who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler 
Who journeys the length of the light

Outside the pull of gravity
Beyond the spectral veil
Within our careful reasoning
We search to no avail
For the constant in the chaos
For the fulcrum in the void
Following a destiny
Our steps cannot avoid

Across the vein of night
There cuts a path of searing light
Burning like a beacon
On the edges of our sight
At the point of total darkness
And the lights divine divide
A soul can let its shadow
Stretch and land on either side

Wealthy the spirit 
That knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter 
Who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler 
Who journeys the length of the light

In a spiral never-ending
Are we drawn towards the source
Spinning at the mercy 
Of an unrelenting force
So we stare into the emptiness
And fall beneath the weight
Circling the Nexus in a
Fevered dance with fate --

Wealthy the spirit 
That knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter 
Who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler 
Who journeys the length of the light
