Calibrated and Checked

Everything begins with a light
An internal cold sweat runs through my being
A metallic flash runs through my mind
And suddenly, there is peace

An absolute serenity, floating in a sea of dark calmness
There's something inside me but I can't fight
An empirical and dreamlike presence
Touches the deepest of the human sight

The soul, absolute consciousness
Intrinsic in an invisible cloak
Never-failing energy source
We only imagine its existence

I know what they are looking for
It's only a hint of lucidity before the end
A fleeting idea invades the last sighs of reason
Which gives meaning to free will

It flies, I can't hold it
My conscience belongs to them
At the same time, only one and millions of them
Push my soul into the abyss, steals my being

The soul, absolute consciousness
Intrinsic in an invisible cloak
Never-failing energy source
We only imagine its existence

Survival instinct impels me to escape
But adorning reality dilutes what I must learn
With a last sigh I realize what they need
Have come for our reason to exist
Their nutrients and sustenance

The soul, absolute consciousness
Intrinsic in an invisible cloak
Never-failing energy source
We only imagine its existence
