Mayday

Mayday, mayday this ship is slowly rising.
The bridge is bursting, imploding into the origin.
The last lights shining bright competing with the bleak, blinding sunlight,
the final moves of the crew, embodied by rays and particles all the same,
Rushing towards the end of the universe.
The signs of life, dying but alive forever.
Somewhere, nowhere.
The demons dragging the ship into the nether world,
Only battled by the angels to save the lost.

Sailors, sailors, prepare to fly.
Prepare to dive into the stars.
Put your oxygen away, no need to breathe.
Greet the shining abyss.
The seraphs will carry us on their wings through the oceans,
To the saving moonlight.

Captain, captain we are sinking.
No, my son we’re rising into the skies,
To where the horizon ends and where black and white are alike.
Don’t be afraid of the destruction.
This is nature’s will,
For us to fade into the picture frames on once loved walls.

Manifest, manifest you demons of the light.
Stop, don’t - Leave our souls be on this dreadful plane.
This is where we belong.
You black winged angels, go home into the silver city.
Let the struggle vanish and reunite with your brothers.

But where do we go?
Are we falling?
Are we following?
Are we ascending?

Mayday, mayday the world is crashing down?
Rising up?
No human,
No god,
No-one,
knows.

Please,
Please tell us,
If this hell on earth
Or heaven in flames.

Heaven and Hell,
One again,
But not the same.
