Ephemeral Eternities
Mare Cognitum
Multidimensional storm Disturbing galactic balance Primordial coalescence Fusion of primal essence Hypnotic dirge molds Shapeless malformation Amorphous amalgamation Tempest of infinite scale A new dawn forms Reciprocal beginnings Necromantic screams Calamitous rebirth Multicosmic disarray Despondent conceptions Bastard sons begotten of Malevolent masters Contorted visages Twisted and warped Clinging for shelter In shallow tombs Forlorn children With outstretched hands Clutch the remains Of a corroded temple Fractal galaxies emerge from the void Glorious spiraling cipher Kaleidoscopic omnipresence Forging the sands of time Into wretched worlds A glorious futility Extinction Stretching beyond all time Multidimensional genocide Reflections Of infinite parallel lives A hall of blackened mirrors Begin upheaval Promise malignant Vow silence Breathe visions Fading suns Primal moons Fears breed Ends eternal The dawn sleeps A radiant calm Serpentine dimensions Interspersing light Now draped In bloodied robes And surrendering Their scarred veins Denied existence By time’s gaze Trembling within The purest darkness Awaiting exile To forgotten wastelands A glorious suffering A miserable solace Fractal galaxies emerge from the void Glorious spiraling cipher Kaleidoscopic omnipresence Forging the sands of time Into wretched worlds A glorious futility Extinction Stretching beyond all time Multidimensional genocide Reflections Of infinite parallel lives A hall of blackened mirrors Countless ghostly manifestations crawl beneath the void Doomed to wander the endless seas of ethereal murk Ensnared within the incessant cycle of eternal birth Led deeper by the hollow stream of eternity This dying soul foretold in ancient prophecy, a ruined monolith to the hopes of nature, collapses under the weight of its own breath, its last gasps blaring into a sickening cry A senseless loss

"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."
