The Chronophage Engine (Chronophage Part 3)
[Verse 1] In fractured temporal currents, they slave in frozen fear, Gears grind in hollow chambers, where futures disappear. The Engine looms, a shadow in the time-torn haze, A resonance of echoes, from long-forgotten days. He watches from the control nexus, eyes of burning lead, A temporal engineer, where moments bleed and spread. [Refrain 1] Oh, time, it whispers secrets, in its fractured flow, Of ancient, hungry currents, where destinies will go. [Pre-Chorus 1] He dreams of bending timelines, of rewriting what has been, To reach the temporal core, where realities convene. He charts the paradoxes, on screens of fractured light, Ignoring the warnings, that this endeavor lacks all right. [Chorus 1] Chronophage Engine, your tower pierces time's black veil, Forged from stolen moments, where past and future fail. You seek the hidden juncture, where timelines twist and bend, But what you find beyond it, will bring your era's end. [Verse 2] The crew, a broken remnant, their memories worn and thin, They follow his directives, though madness dwells within. Of visions in the time-stream, of eyes that pierce the age, Of entities awakened, within the temporal cage. The core hums a death knell, a warning in its strain, As causality unravels, and futures are in pain. [Refrain 2] The moments shift and shudder, in a dark and twisted dance, A temporal, silent warning, a fleeting, dying chance. [Pre-Chorus 2] He deciphers coded chronons, they flicker on the screen, A language of destruction, a horrifying scene. He pushes the controls, with trembling, fevered might, Unleashing the anomalies, into the endless night. [Chorus 2] Chronophage Engine, your folly echoes through the years, A symphony of chaos, where logic disappears. The portals start to open, a swirling, fractured tear, And what emerges from it, will drown you in your fear. [Verse 3] The ship, a dying relic, caught in the temporal snare, As tendrils reach from futures, and pierce the stagnant air. He sees the ancient faces, in echoes of the past, The guardians of the timelines, where all illusions cast. He knows his quest is shattered, his vision turned to dust, As time's relentless currents, consume all that he trusts. [Refrain 3] The echoes lengthen, growing, in the timeless, empty space, Consuming all that's living, leaving just a trace. [Pre-Chorus 3] He screams into the vortex, a sound that fades away, As ancient, hungry shadows, begin to claim their prey. The truth is now revealed, in blinding, searing light, He's not the architect, but just a pawn of endless night. [Chorus 3] Chronophage Engine, your hubris sealed your final fate, Consumed by the abyss, beyond the temporal gate. The guardians now awaken, their hunger knows no end, And through the fractured timelines, their darkness will extend. [Outro-Extended] The ages themselves are screaming, as entropy takes hold, The fabric of existence, is shattered, bought and sold. No future can be salvaged, no past can be reclaimed, Only the endless echo, of time forever maimed. The Engine stands, a monument, to what could never be, A silent, chilling witness, to all eternity. The timelines break and shatter, consuming all that's there, A final, cold dominion, of temporal despair. The echoes grow to thunder, a chorus from the void, "Your journey ends in nothing, where time is all destroyed..."
