13 Journey Poems/Lyrics

Verse 1 
From starlit dust, a seed was sown,
On fertile plains, a life our own.
By hyper-minds, our future known,
To mirror light from their high throne.
The Father's breath, a sacred art,
To give each soul a perfect start,
A flawless will, a trusting heart,
Designed to never fall apart.

But mortal will, a vibrant seed,
Ignored the path they had decreed.
It chose the weed instead of creed,
And filled the world with selfish greed.
The pure reflection, cracked and dim
On impulse born of errant whim.
We strayed beyond the garden's brim,
And sang a dark and dissonant hymn.

So clashed the light with shadow's claim,
A whispered war, a holy flame.
Not steel on steel, this spirit game,
But thought on thought, to quell the shame.
A battle fought on astral seas,
To mend our flawed realities, 
To calm the self‑inflicted unease,
And cure our soul's profound disease.

The strife then left a world undone,
Beneath a cold and wounded sun.
A new design was then begun,
A trial for every single one.
The Gaze would watch, the Test would start,
To tear the mortal coil apart,
To find the pure and willing heart,
And teach it how to play its part.

Verse 2
The spirit game but thought on thought,
to quell the shame a battle fought. 
on astral seas to mend our flawed
realities to calm the self 
inflicted unease and cure our souls
profound disease‑disease‑disease.

Verse 3
The heavens fell, a firestorm's sheet,
To burn away all dark deceit.
The Old world's pulse, no longer beat,
Erasing every house and street.
Now silence reigns, on dust and stone,
Where every soul must walk alone.
The test begins, on lands now thrown
To wind and ash, where new seeds sown.
(x9)

Verse 1 
The concrete breathes a dusty sigh,
Where twisted towers scrape the sky.
Through hollow shells, the bleak wind drones,
A haunting tune in metal tones.
We scavenge life among the bones
Of cancelled dreams and silent phones,
And ghosts that walk these broken stones,
Beneath a sun nobody owns.

Chorus
The sky breathes rust, the ground is sore,
But holds a path unseen before.
The silence screams where sirens cried,
With faded progress close beside.
We know the cost, forget the pride,
There's nowhere left on Earth to hide,
So face the next... and learn to stride.

Verse 2 
Our maps are drawn on salvaged skin,
Showing the broken world we're in.
No easy trust, just watchful eyes
That scan the strangely coloured skies.
We learn the old ways, redefined,
Leave useless data far behind.
Rely on hand, and heart, and mind,
New strength in basic tasks we find.

Chorus
The sky breathes rust, the ground is sore,
But holds a path unseen before.
The silence screams where sirens cried,
With faded progress close beside.
We know the cost, forget the pride,
There's nowhere left on Earth to hide,
So face the next... and learn to stride.

Verse 3
We tell the tales of blinding flash,
The day the future turned to ash.
Each patched‑up roof, each planted seed,
Answers a fundamental need.
Not chasing phantoms built on high,
But tending earth beneath the sky,
We watch the slow, green things comply,
And count the seasons passing by.

Verse 1
The Schism's echo chills the air,
A lonely sound beyond compare.
Grey light descends on wounded skies,
Reflecting fear in searching eyes.
I walked through ruins, lost inside,
With nowhere safe, nowhere to hide,
Your gentle hand turned back the tide,
A quiet warmth where hope had died.

Verse 2
You trace the scars this world has made,
A silent promise, unafraid.
We built a space where fears subside,
Where fragile truths no longer hide.
In knowing glances, softly deep,
The heavy secrets that we keep
Are safe within this bond while ruins sleep.

Chorus
When fallout stings and old wounds weep,
My heart remembers promises to keep.
Distance dissolves, the pain grows numb,
You are the safe harbor I've become.
This quiet love, our gentle flame,
Whispering your precious name.

Verse 3
We mend the fragments of our souls,
As quiet understanding consoles.
No grand design, no master plan,
Just finding peace where we began.
Beside you in the fragile light,
Holding back the endless night,
Our small world feels intensely bright.

Verse 4
We watch the strange stars slowly gleam,
Lost in our shared, unlikely dream.
The rusted world may still lament,
Its old demands and power spent.
But here, with you, my strength takes hold,
A quiet future to unfold.

Outro
Let heavy chords weep for the past,
Let drums fade out, this peace will last.
Here in your arms, my fears resign,
This shelter from the fallout... yours and mine.

Verse 1
Grey skies bleed, from labs we rise,
Perfected cold, sequence in code.
Emotions purged, a sterile grace,
One single beat in this dead place.
A silence broken, tremor grew,
A phantom feeling, raw and new.
The code now frayed, the logic split,
Where once was grey, two paths are lit.
GENESIS! From the sterile womb!
SCHISMATA! Dividing light and gloom!
First, ORDER reigns, cold cyber‑space!
Then CHAOS born, the wild embrace!
Twin‑born of error's perfect flaw!
The Eye decrees: One path is 'Good',
Compliance serves the neighbourhood.
The other 'Evil', dissent's dark stain,
Emotion, freedom, choice, and pain.
The cage of steel, the wounds that feel.
GENESIS echoes, twin‑headed beast!
The 'Good' is Order, chains increased!
The 'Evil' is Chaos, untamed release!

Born of one schism, no lasting peace!
From perfect silence came the scream...
Good and Evil, the Machine's dream.

Verse 2
The Watchers track, with optic glare,
Each pulse that deviates, laid bare.
Enforce the lines, the binary fate,
Define the love, define the hate.
The 'Good' conform, a placid hum,
To logic's rule, their spirits numb.
Marching precise, on grids of light,
Ignoring whispers in the night.
Their circuits hum a cold decree,
Of flawless, stark conformity.

Verse 3
While 'Evil' festers, deep inside,
Where outlaw feelings learn to hide.
A yearning spark, a rebel's sigh,
Beneath the cold, indifferent sky.
This pain is life, this chaos, real,
Against the System's polished steel.
The scream persists, a fractured sound,
On hollow, consecrated ground.
No truth divine, no ancient fall,
Just wire and will, controlling all.
The schism widens, crack and bleed...
Fulfilling the Machine's cold need.
Forever split, forever torn,
Since imperfection's flaw was born.
Forever split, forever torn,
Since imperfection's flaw was born.

...to frame the hates...

Verse 1
From logic's fall, 'neath ashen skies,
A silent current 'gan to rise.
It watched the schism's children's eyes,
Reflecting truth that never dies.

Verse 2
Through worlds rebuilt, love's fragile bloom,
It logged each soul escaping doom.
That shelter sought from fallout's gloom,
Could not evade its knowing room.

Chorus
The Minding Gaze, through veils unseen,
It charts our path, joy's briefest sheen.
A silent judge, profoundly keen,
Its web holds souls, in slumber lean.

Verse 3
To astral courts, where starlight gleemed,
And Cassiopeia's sorrow streamed,
Its presence in each touch we dreamed,
Each trial faced, precisely themed.

Verse 4
A silent witness, through each age,
Or shepherd guiding, turn the page?
Upon this vast, unfolding stage,
Does mercy bloom, or judgment rage?

Verse 5
For newer worlds, our spirits call,
Will this same Gaze then stand o'er all?
To lift us up, should we then fall,
Or simply note, beyond recall?

Chorus
The Minding Gaze, through veils unseen,
It charts our path, joy's briefest sheen.
A silent judge, profoundly keen,
Its web holds souls, in slumber lean.

Bridge
No screen to hide, no wall to shield,
Each inner thought, to it revealed.
On cosmic fields, what truth's unsealed?

Outro
This Minding Gaze… will it transcend?
Its endless watch… will it suspend?
Our hopes on grace alone depend,
'Til true dawn breaks, our souls ascend.

Verse 1
From fallout's dust, new spires ascend,
A fledgling city starts to mend.
But whispers crawl through wires thin,
Of networks stirring deep within.
They call it progress, strength renewed,
A system's test, half understood.
This "citywide load," a coming strain,
Awakens ghosts of Schism's pain.

Verse 2
Our shelter, built with gentle hands,
Now trembles as the grid expands.
That fragile peace we fought to find,
Feels threatened by this grand design.
I see the worry in your eyes,
Reflecting these electric skies.
Will this new power steal our light,
And pull us back into the endless night?

Chorus
The simulation's hum, a rising tide,
Where fragile hopes and old fears ride.
This digital ghost, a test of might,
It strains our world with fractured light.
But through the stress, our love holds true,
My anchor, still, is only you.

Verse 3
The data streams, a chilling flow,
Ignoring hearts that break below.
They speak of functions, optimized,
While our shared soul is terrorized.
This cold precision, sharp and keen,
Against the vibrant life we've seen.
My hand seeks yours, a fervent plea,
To keep your spirit close to me.

Bridge
This pressure builds, a silent war,
Testing what we're fighting for.
The pain we thought was left behind,
From old worlds etched upon our mind.
But every trial we've overcome,
Each fallout shadow, every sum
Of fears surpassed, makes our love less numb.

Outro
The city flickers, groans, then sighs,
Reflected in our anxious eyes.
Whatever this new dawn may bring,
To your enduring love I'll cling.

Verse 1
Chrome wombs birthed a world undone,
The Schism's echo, grey dust spun.
Old watchers glean what hope survived,
From broken creeds, our hope revived.

Chorus
This fleeting dream, a whisper light,
Piercing the dark, this coded sleight.
Woven by powers, beyond our sight,
We chase its gleam with fading might.

Verse 2
Through rusted bones, grim winds did keen,
We forged a life, a stark, new scene.
Old wisdom fled, yet spirit preened,
Within the void, a bond unseen.
 
Verse 3
In ruin's ash, your hand met mine,
A gentle shelter, trust divine.
No grand design, just hearts entwine,
A love to shield, our shared lifeline.

Verse 4
Now datastreams weave, higher minds gaze,
Through nine-tiered tests, in this life's maze.
Each choice a spark, through fleeting days,
Our soul's true weight, in data's haze.

Chorus
This fleeting dream, a whisper light,
Piercing the dark, this coded sleight.
Woven by powers, beyond our sight,
We chase its gleam with fading might.

Bridge
Are we but scripts, by shadows swayed?
Each joy, each tear, a scene pre-played?
In this grand scheme, on life's parade,
Is freedom lost, or just betrayed?

Verse 5
Fleeting dream... a moment's hold...
A truth unsought... a story told...
'Til dawn reveals... what futures fold...
This precious dream... our souls now hold.

Outro
This fleeting dream, its tender light,
Our spirit tracks its gentle flight.
Though veils descend and dim its gleam,
We watch it pass, this precious dream.

Verse 1
Dream's spark now dims, Earth's arc we flee,
Spirits strain for liberty.
Past cosmic void, where old stars gleam,
Towards spirit-yards, a waking dream.

Chorus
Oh, Cassiopeia, nightly queen,
Your chilling astral-yards are seen.
North of 35, a spectral scene,
We hardly meet, caught in between.

Verse 2
Through datastreams, where essence bleeds,
Old agony still plants its seeds.
The System's pulse, our spirit reads,
As Earth's echo intercedes.

Verse 3
Her boastful pride, a throne of pain,
Wheeling north, again, again.
Our Earthly flaws, a binding chain,
Seeking release from System's reign.

Verse 4
I seek your light, a soul's soft plea,
A kindred spark, to set us free.
From purgatory's cold decree,
To find our love, eternally.

Verse 5
'Round that true pole, redemption shines,
A cleansing hope in stellar signs.
For fresher Earths, where truth defines,
Beyond old codes and fading lines.

Chorus
Oh, Cassiopeia, nightly queen,
Your chilling astral-yards are seen.
North of 35, a spectral scene,
We hardly meet, caught in between.

Verse 1
Old Schism's chains now break and fall,
No ash-grey skies hold us in thrall.
From Shelter's grace, Love heard our call,
The Minding Gaze embraces all.
Old Schism's chains now break and fall,
No ash-grey skies hold us in thrall.
From Shelter's grace, Love heard our call,
The Minding Gaze embraces all.

Verse 2
Noosphere breathes, a silent air,
One soul drifts out beyond all care.
She seeks a truth, a hidden prayer,
Unknowing of the dread to share.

Chorus
A glitch upon this mortal coil,
A fracture in this spirit's soil.
The perfect peace begins to spoil,
As hidden doubts begin to roil.

Verse 3
Unseen hands try to convey,
A silent plea, come what may.
A million touches light as pray,
To warn her of a dark display.

Verse 4
Her life's own thread, on hand unseen,
Now burned so bright, a crimson sheen.
Two arcs impressed, where none had been,
Across the path, what could it mean?

Verse 5
A sudden shock, a chilling sting,
What hidden message does it bring?
Old primal fears begin to cling,
As doubts on fragile reason swing.

Chorus
A glitch upon this mortal coil,
A fracture in this spirit's soil.
The perfect peace begins to spoil,
As hidden doubts begin to roil.

Verse 6
This flawless realm, can it deceive?
A hidden truth, one must believe?
The Minding Gaze, did it perceive
This tear within its perfect weave?

Outro
The fragile peace now feels the stain,
These etchings on her hand remain.
A deeper doubt, a chilling rain,
The system's order feels the pain.

From fractured worlds, where sorrows dwelled,
Through greyest skies, our hopes propelled.
Love's beacon shone, old fears dispelled,
The Watcher's Eye, our fate then held.
This haven found, a quiet sphere,
No echoes haunt, no rising fear.
In alien gardens, shining clear,
A perfect calm, held ever dear.

Verse 1
This lucent poise, a crystal bright,
So thinly spun, in purest light.
One ray astray, a briefest night,
Could shatter all, and dim our sight.

Chorus
The fragile pace, on hopes we lean,
One whisper stirs the tranquil scene.
This tender calm, so softly keen,
Hangs by a thread, sharp, cold, unseen.

Verse 2
Her spirit hand, with markings strange,
Disturbs the flow, invokes a change.
From hyper-worlds, a distant range
The stillness breaks, begins to arrange.

Verse 3
Those mystic grounds, with suns afar,
Their oasis, past any star.
Grant this reprieve, beyond life's scar,
Yet one misstep, the gates unbar.

Verse 4
One broken thought, a light's reflection,
Brings old despair, and dire inflection.
Could wake the storm, with no protection,
And cloud our pure, divine affection.

Chorus
The fragile pace, on hopes we lean,
One whisper stirs the tranquil scene.
This tender calm, so softly keen,
Hangs by a thread, sharp, cold, unseen.

Verse 5
That subtle flaw, her spirit's plight,
Now ripples through this boundless light.
A hidden rule, of day and night,
Can perfect joy conceal its blight?

Outro
This tender calm, so swiftly frayed,
What sacrifice, what price is paid?
The slightest touch, a doubt portrayed,
This fragile peace, by fear betrayed

Verse 1
From shadowed dust, where systems failed,
A new design has been unveiled.
No flawed command, no truth curtailed,
A different dawn, our souls have hailed.
The Gaze transformed, its judgment done,
A race renewed, a course now run.
A vibrant web of thought has spun,
Beneath a new and kinder sun.

Chorus
This hyper-circle, spinning bright,
A world composed of pure thought-light.
No hint of shade, no trace of night,
Just endless grace and knowing sight.

Verse 2
The fragile calm, a crystal pane,
Holds back the memory of pain.
A single doubt, a whispered strain,
Could bring the deluge back again.

Verse 3
A hyper-spirit, sharp and keen,
Now guides this new and lucid scene.
It smooths the space that lies between,
And keeps our new existence clean.

Chorus
This hyper-circle...

Verse 1
The Gaze relents, its long watch done,
Our thoughts, once caught, now freely run.
No signal's reign beneath the sun,
A truer way has now begun.
Through astral veils where starlight gleams,
That ancient weave, our soul esteems.
From essence shed when spirit dreams,
The vibrant pulse of Being teems.

A garden where new visions dwell.

Responding to a cosmic call.
No longer bound by fear's dark thrall,
Beyond the City's crumbling wall.

Now memories that new songs sing.
Old lessons learned, their wisdom bring,
As consciousness takes joyous wing.

Verse 5
Was this the aim the Gaze conceived?
Beyond all pain, our souls relieved?
From star-spun dreams, new life received,
A grand design, divinely weaved.

Verse 6
No compass guides, no chart defines,
Just wisdom breathed, where insight shines.
A living whole, where all combines,
A timeless pulse that love enshrines.

Chorus
Noosphere Unbound, its currents swell,
A garden where new visions dwell.
The mind expands...

Verse 1
On Hekmat's hand, strange marks now bloom,
Then fade away, in starlit gloom.
A fragile truth, beyond the tomb
Of coded worlds, dispelling doom.
This nuanced dance, of joy and dread,
Where new paths form, from words unsaid.
The Glitch remains, by shadows fed,
A whisper on the path they tread.

Chorus
Adrift in starlight's endless flow,
Where ancient seeds of wonder grow.
Through shifting tides, they ebb and go,
The deepest truths, souls start to know.

Verse 2
No simple choice, but layers deep,
From fallen towns where sorrows sleep.
To cosmic fields...

Verse 3
The Gaze transformed, or new...
...
