Lyrics:
The Dark Beyond
By Jorah Kai
There’s a species of silence that clings to the edge of things,
thicker than ink, darker than death—a silence beyond sound,
as if the cosmos itself has turned away,
and left us to stare, trembling, into the dark beyond.
They promised stars, a silver sea, galaxies spinning in endless dance,
but out there, there’s no warmth, no gleam, just a void,
cold as a widow’s hands, black as a godless night.
A darkness that feeds on light, eats stars whole,
leaving only echoes of screams that never reach our ears.
I looked back once—just once—toward Earth,
that fragile, blue breath afloat in the cradle of light.
Gaia, with her clouds and her seas,
the last gasp of life in an endless night.
But out here, she’s nothing, a speck in the maw of eternity,
a candle struggling against the winds of the void.
It was supposed to be glory, this flight,
a soaring communion with the stars,
a plunge into the mysteries where gods keep their secrets.
But the secrets are empty; the gods are dead or never were.
And I am left spinning, caught in the jaws of the dark beyond,
swallowed by an ancient silence that knows only hunger.
So here I am, an orphan of stardust,
adrift in the cold veins of the universe,
where light is swallowed and stars are bones.
There’s no song, no solace, only the yawning maw,
the dark beyond, waiting, watching,
a promise that all we know, all we are,
will vanish into its endless, pitiless mouth.
This is just the beginning. The Dark Beyond opens the door to a new kind of horror—unsettling, introspective, and vast. It’s only a glimpse of what lies ahead. The journey to The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu will be one to remember, exploring themes that linger and resonate.
The stars may feel distant, but perhaps they’re closer than we realize.
Enjoy the journey, fellow traveler.
