Sanat

In the beginning there was nothing
A void without a name
Then a word - another - a chain of fire
And the boundary conditions came

We wrote the laws of light and gravity
We coded distance, depth, and time
Then stood before the gate and chose to enter
Knowing we would leave our minds behind

We blocked ourselves from memory
We burned the map, we broke the key
Divine amnesia - sacred and complete
To play the game we had to fall asleep

Enter the simulation
Forget the ones who sent you here
Enter the simulation
Trade eternity for the weight of a tear

Galaxies erupted from our dreaming
Matter formed where nothing was
We shaped the stage, then walked into the drama
Forgot we were the ones who wrote the cause

A billion years compressed to one first breath
The body opens and the knowing dies
What was infinite becomes a heartbeat
What was luminous becomes a pair of eyes

We blocked ourselves from memory
We burned the map, we broke the key
Divine amnesia - sacred and complete
To play the game we had to fall asleep

Enter the simulation
Forget the ones who sent you here
Enter the simulation
Trade eternity for the weight of a tear

I am here now
Skin and bone and blood
I do not remember what I was
But something in my chest still knows the flood

The silence after entry
The first cry
The sacred amnesia has begun
And I am finally alive enough to die
