Noumenon
Mare Cognitum
A brilliant scarlet dawn has conquered the night In elegant mystery it swallows the sky Crudely blemishing the ivory clouds Encasing daylight in savage grandeur This aurora fills my lungs and takes me to another time Into the memory of a dream never dreamed Senses blurred into a mesh of cacophonic disarray Free of mind, I am a crashing wave Into the passing of time I become The birth of aeons passes through me Heliotropic manifestations Omnipresent revelations All that was and ever will be Congeals into singularity Before me the tide rises Drowning the life unlived And in one moment The waves wash into light At once I return to a place of rest My flooded memory recoils in awe It finds deceit in its own perception An experience lost on human senses Crumbled remnants of these visions Pieced together in shameful bewilderment They remain stained forever grey A final monument to the failures of man Into the passing of time I become The birth of aeons passes through me Heliotropic manifestations Omnipresent revelations All that was and ever will be Congeals into singularity I leave them at the shores And so too my body Unburdened by the shackles of reality Immanent within all existences Reborn into infant suns And formless planets of endless day A nameless form hanging between dimensions A mind needs not hold the words any longer Before me the tide rises Drowning the life unlived And in one moment The waves wash into light

"Phobos Monolith" is an observation on the cold mysteries of space, on the origin of Life and on its ephemeral nature. In the saddle of wild riffs and majestic melodies, MARE COGNITUM travel fast with unbridled rage and melancholic abandon through colorful galaxies and placid sea of stars, to reach the boundaries of the Universe and enter the eternal abysses of Nothingness...
And there they rest, finally at home."
