Max Bellasys - The Crux of Night lyrics

The Crux of Night __________________________________________ In the crucible of night the mystery unfolds X's and O's. The double darkness keeps our instinct alive keep us from seeing the truth of it we need to survive. They come to feed whether or not they are salient beings we are never bought or sold - simply free - we are more than consumers we produce what they need, a spiral of ecstasy (or the deadly obscene) and every shade between - choosing our demise we are hunted in delight or terror or both They arrive without trail when finished they leave without disturbing a shadow or teasing with vapid proof only the wind rustles the truth: the secret of their command is dark and serene We are not so great or depraved as believed; still they shore up the gritty lives we lead (crumbled heaps like a castaway's dream) beading under a culling sun grains of time are gla**ed into one; and then they return to the edge of light as we are found when born in the crux of night. ___________________________________________
