For the very reason a part gets the upper hand
The might within space represses the internal
So that they have become two worlds then
Divine determination, free, pure and unadulterated
Vortex Omnivium - Where consciousness is the end of all
Divine revelation, and words become flesh
Vortex Omnivium - When arousing transitory
Sentiments become pure anger and wrath
Our thoughts will come to rest only at the final unity
United life will follow separated subsistence
Within this whisper of life, within this sensible world
