Excelsior!

from The Remnant Mass by Cetus

lyrics

an endless plain, but a rise to the north where the earth catches clouds
he crosses the plain into the wood onto the rock covered slope
an endless plain made of rock that rises up into the clouds

he resists gravity
he resists the hoarder of mass — the darkness of past

the plain slowly fractures and falls and swallows his past
the cracks start behind him as he sets foot to stone
on olympus mons’ flank he sees endless stone

he is called to the peak and into the shroud
he is called to the peak and the captive cloud

for the stone beneath his feet — the gray
or the ash, the sand, the earth does sway
he won’t look down — he knows it’s giving way

now there’s no other place to ascend

he could fall with the mass
he could learn of the past

he’s called up to the peak
and on into the shroud
and the captive cloud
