The Value of Nothing
Doing time under this nescient mortal eclipse
From the Cimmerian wanderings of exile
Through the umbral passage of trial
Under the pretender's crown of vainglory
All sojourn through this same terrestrial court
Under this same celestial seat
And though there be this provisional, shadow dominion under whose mandate we’re inexorably bound,
A reckoning endures
A brilliance beyond this understanding, transcending this opaque postulate
Illumination prevails!
And nothing is everything that came from nothing
From the Cimmerian wanderings of exile
Through the umbral passage of trial
Under the pretender's crown of vainglory
All sojourn through this same terrestrial court
Under this same celestial seat
And though there be this provisional, shadow dominion under whose mandate we’re inexorably bound,
A reckoning endures
A brilliance beyond this understanding, transcending this opaque postulate
Illumination prevails!
And nothing is everything that came from nothing
