what if you wanted to go to heaven but god said:

A scratched and worn metallic record plate from the Old World - the world as it was after the Canticlysm, before the rising of the Tides. It is hard to estimate the plate's age at a glance.

The plate is packed in a burgundy-shade sheet of paper, a sleeve of sorts. Its borders are decorated with nautical-themed motifs and curves.

On the outside, faded golden print letters in the middle of the sleeve note, "A MEMORY OF TIDES". Underneath, in beautiful cursive, is supposedly the author's name, although the writing's colour has been worn away by time to the point of indecipherability.

On the inner side of its dog-eared paper sleeve, there are tenuously-scrawled writings etched in an aged script:

-----

WHEN THE DEPTHS OF SEA
COME ALIVE
IN A MOTION,

STRONGLY SHAKES THE LAND
AND THE SKY
FROM THE OCEAN.

WATERS BELOW
FOAM AND ROAR,
AND BELLOW.

WHAT SHALL WE DO
WITH OUR HEARTS
SO MELLOW?

FEEL NO DESPAIR,
MY FRIENDS!
TOMORROW,

DAY DAWNS ANEW!

A Memory Of Tides (Bonus Track)

When the tide rolled in there was nothing left,
But an albatross hanging from my neck.
And just as you could not contain the sea,
You could not contain me.

( - Foxing, 'Bloodhound')

Ascension (Interlude)

Stops
ㅤㅤㅤthe chorus now its singing,
Still their holy song
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤis
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤringing.
Now ill thoughts dear Death is bringing,
Risen ash their hands
ㅤㅤㅤㅤare wringing.

( - Naktigonis, 'The Lamb of God')

The Final Seal (Interlude)

dream i of a changing world while sleeping,
born from ash, the barrel of a gun,
but until that comes, i say while weeping -
there's no place for us beneath the sun.

( - Naktigonis, 'Yearning')

Pelagic Slumber

STAR-SWEPT INSOMNIA
SKY-SUNDERED SLEEP
MIND-ADDLING MANIA
HARROWING DEEP

-----

For what are space and time but the inventions
Of sorrowing men? The soul goes faster than light.
Eating the moon alive, it leaves space and time behind.

( - Donald Revell, 'Death')

What Mends Shall Fray

harvested, refined,
the old cacophony's denied -
and now the
orchestra of chaos
plays victoriously a tune most sprightly.

( - Naktigonis, 'Lullaby of Chaos')

A Symphony Of Strife

The other night I had a dream, you came to me or so it seemed
On a zeppelin made of crystal, made of glass.
Upon a steam calliope you sat and played a song for me,
A shanti from a vagrant midnight mass.

Oh, we puffed a pipe of turkish moss and set course for the albatross,
A sea of silver prophets on the wing.
And through the captain's telescope, you gazed and blew a ring of smoke,
And then we bade farewell unto the spring...

( - Vagabond Opera, 'Red Balloon')

Of Chitin, Kith And Kin

And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

( - Percy Bysshe Shelley, 'Ozymandias')

In Starstruck Sands

The winter breeze begins to blow,
It carries gently falling snow.
The first of many winter moons
Shines brightly as the card'nal croons.
The charming bird now sings alone
A lullaby for snow and stone.

( - Naktigonis, 'A Snowy Night / All Was Well')

A Waltz Of Snow And Knights

We're workers of Summer Company,
That fortress of smoke and steel!
For guns we forge and bullets make,
Leave fire in our wake -
We work for the Summer Company!

The Isle of Summer marks our home -
Our fortress of smoke and steel!
The bellows roar and anvils ring,
We serve no lord or king -
Except for the isle that marks our home!

( - Naktigonis, 'The Summer Company Song')
