I killed the part of me I call Blackout Mike; this was the part that believed the lie about chemicals substituting for love as a basic human need. He wasn’t an evil person, he was just too weak to thrive in this world. He did not serve me. As proof of my honor and compassion, however, I will throw him a wake. And any good wake includes music, whether it be a dirge or an aria…
“The End of Dormancy” by Voivod
Uncertain sky, ocean of silence / Nothing in sight, only storms in the distance / Gear up, meeting point at zero hour / It looks like this is far from over
Signals coming from deep space giant void / Magnetic shields are ready to deploy / Unknown waves are rumbling stronger / Confirmed, this comes from underwater
I always thought this could be real / Always assumed that it was near / Not having a single doubt / Not having a second thought
THE WAKE
This the end of dormancy
THE WAKE
Something from the bottom of the sea
These kinds of things can’t be revealed / Who would have thought? Who would believe? / Fear of the unknown will stay on / Because no god has ever saved anyone
THE WAKE
From the seabed underneath
THE WAKE
Millions of years of dormancy
THE WAKE
Recharged by the waste of energy
THE WAKE
This thing will change our destiny
“To all vessels, keep your position. All units, ready to counterattack.”
Under the surface, gravitational waves / Abyssal hurricane from the alien base / Trans-fictional sky engulfed in flames / Too late to retreat, too amazed to relate
Time is stretching, movements divide / The course of events suddenly modified / Melted in the structure, bodies petrified
Staring at me asking for help before they die.
