lyrics

Manifest image
immanence in the natural world
Are we not bound, unequally, with believers?
For what fellowship hath righteousness with the unrighteous?
What communion hath light with the dark?
And what culture hath human with inhuman?

Re-purposing delicate life in altered ways of being
to peak in the ocean of nature and burn our excess

seeking a forgone intimacy
finding transcendence
by the lustrous death of immanence

An absolute presence made imminent by way of sacrificial shares
such reverence before the idealist void

Still waters confused by a desire for divinity
Ascesis in the sciences of man, hath routed our nature
O great horror of method disenchant these creatures

Manifest image
becoming of crashing waves
in the tides of natural immanence
and yet, thou art the wave still bound to being

O great horror of unthinkable truth set fire to this inhuman cause
Manifest image dissipate
give way…
