The Value of Nothing
Doing time under this nescient mortal eclipse
From the burnishing passage of trial
To the Cimmerian wonderings of isolation
Even unto the glistening crest of vainglory
All sojourn under this same terrestrial court under this same celestial seat
And though there be this aphotic, provisional authority under whose mandate we’re inexorably held,
a reckoning endures
A brilliance beyond this understanding, transcending this opaque postulate
Illumination prevails!
As everything is nothing, nothing is everything
From the burnishing passage of trial
To the Cimmerian wonderings of isolation
Even unto the glistening crest of vainglory
All sojourn under this same terrestrial court under this same celestial seat
And though there be this aphotic, provisional authority under whose mandate we’re inexorably held,
a reckoning endures
A brilliance beyond this understanding, transcending this opaque postulate
Illumination prevails!
As everything is nothing, nothing is everything
