lyrics

A nameless man will begin
By naming himself
A self-baptized orphan seeking meaning
In a both dreaded and desired sea

Seek not to extract meaning but to project
For all meaning is but a projection of the orphaned self
Onto a world of white void

The journey must be taken
Futile and disastrous as its end may be
For the futility will be painted with the bounteous colors of meaning
And the disaster shall be masked by the sublime sea

Seek not to extract meaning but to project
For all meaning is but a projection of the orphaned self
Onto a world of white void

It shall subsist only until your role has ended, oh drifting orphan
Then all will collapse
And the great shroud of the sea will roll on
As it rolled five thousand years ago
