It was the end of the world
The end of all I knew
The end of all I thought I knew
Palaces of perception crashed around me
The fabrications and fallacies broke and burned
The reality in which I walked was swallowed up
Everything was abandoned and the fire climbed up my vision
It was death, death, death!
And then I saw it
The worst terror and the greatest beauty
And a new kingdom came
One which was always there but couldn’t be seen
Not seen but only experienced
And there are many, many thrones
All are kings and queens within this realm
A kingdom we abandoned and returned to
We grew and then ungrew
We learned and then unlearned
We dethroned ourselves and then took it again
We separated and then rejoined
It was the end of the world
Or was it a new beginning?
Was my great failure really my great victory?
It was the end of the world
