TITLE: The Astronomical Book — 3 of 5 ALBUM: Songs of Enoch ARTIST: Praxis & Blackdraft DURATION: ~5:39 BPM: ~96 GENRE: Dark Electronic Rock [Intro] This is not fate. This is schedule. [Verse] I was shown the courses set in advance Gates assigned to the sun’s long path East opens first, then closes on time West receives what the east declines The moon doesn’t wander, it keeps its count Four names hold its measured amount Waxing, waning, returning again Nothing late. Nothing bends. [Verse] Thirty days hold, then thirty-one A rule that doesn’t care who won Seasons rotate, signs align Order doesn’t ask for belief to apply The year was cut with deliberate hands 364—no room to expand Add nothing. Take nothing away. Error is punished by drift, not decay. [Pre-Chorus] You can lie and still be heard You can pray and still be ignored Time does not respond to cries It moves because it was designed. [Chorus] This is the measure of time Counted before your first crime Day and night assigned their lanes No mercy coded in the frame Sun by gate and moon by phase Light doesn’t care how long you wait The clock keeps faith with what was said Not with what you wish instead [Verse] I was taught the winds by name Their exits fixed, their weight the same Rain released by numbered store Drought arrives by ordered door Stars don’t fall, they’re locked in place Each one sworn to keep its face If they break, they break by law Punishment follows the flaw. [Bridge] This is not symbolism. This is enforcement. [Chorus] This is the measure of time Where obedience is not a sign Of goodness, hope, or inner worth Just alignment with the shape of earth Miss the count, you lose the year Not by anger—by sincere Indifference written into the sky A system that does not reply [Outro] After time was shown and sealed I was given what it means to see— Not the clock, But what follows it. [End]
