“Am I from this moment, Of this primordial hollowness, Concealing my only truth?” “Am I? I am…” Darkness is all there is Devouring the freedom of what has been and what might be Time is a captive of the vastness of space Between the heaven’s embrace and the glare of the abyss “You have spawned my existence In the arms of emptiness amongst the Ancients” “My genesis remains a mystery, Forgotten through eternity” “I wandered in profusion, Confessed my memory” “Perhaps I have dreamt Or forever I was in transit” Lights have taken form Blinding and majestic Encompassing its own absence The once empty void Gave birth to illumination Unveiling the remnants of dead stars and black holes A reminder that every beginning is a result of an ending “These visions, possibly known, yet imperfectly remembered” The cosmic graveyard has been punctured The seemingly endless night shattered Chance collisions and revolting ablaze Intensified the contrast As dancing blaze adorned the heavens Massive, dormant black holes awakened “It is pulling me in yet I care not, The journey into the unknown is stronger” The stellar lights moved like serpents In haste, unknown of what danger it hold “Yet in this furious, unstable conditions, I find refuge, a have amidst uncertainties” The passing of time is irrelevant In context with death and rebirth “I stared in awe to the marriage of black holes, Spiraling and twisting, evolving and creating” “Their embrace, through the years, Triggered a ripple in space-time, Their songs echoed through the universe, Racing with the speed of light” Just when adaptation form abduction was at its peak Death revisited unexpectedly, as always “My haven spewed me out, As fast as it once hurled me in” “Fireworks greeted me as I glide, My own demise cloaked in celebration?” “But I am immortal, riding through time, Perhaps this vision is serving its purpose”

Purpose has pierced the very core Of a collapsing reality, decaying clandestinely Into the descent to imminent ruins Brought forth to, recreate “Gathering the fragments of my very existence, I became more aware, consciousness in bloom” “The afterglow lifted the veil of plight, Upon my desolation comes my rebirth” The passage came to a temporary end A fierce atmosphere bestowed unfamiliar reception Increasing air pressure in diminishing altitude Redesigning clouds as the new stronghold, a new host “The sun, this sun, is accommodating, sending vital heat Imprisoned, as I may be But I will conquer all complexities” “I am of the gods” Eon swept away memories, taking much from once was Casting shadow yet leaving traces for curiosity From above, observing in dust and mist The formative, primal pre-existence Orpheus altered the infernal infancy Distorting the fiery periphery A residual halo spawned Luna Enchanting, a reflection of anima Mother Light sustained the cycle of Exodus and resurgence Unveiling and obscuring, a prelude to existence “I am everywhere, the Overseer Reawakened, I am many” As ages traverse, aflame shroud reduced Insidious winds declared atrocity Overwhelming tides swallow the surface Amidst unstable lights and growling voices “In venom I watched you endure, Emerging for evermore” Distance unfolds serenity, Luna recoiled In declining pace, the celestial orb rotates “In my embrace, molten temples arise, Reshape the ground in multitude” Recent arrivals disturbed the peace The heaven send countless assaults “In my deepest, darkest chamber, It is time, I give life”

Life, primitive as innocence Dethrones evolution slumber A seeding, promising hope Laced with unpredictability A raging void, awaiting to be filled Madly unbridled, in need of shaping “I am your vessel, I am your bearer” “Into your expansion, I am your vision” The mere speck in a vast canvas Spawned predators predated upon From a cooled down shadowland A fitting survival by chance Existence emerged unlooked for Even in the plunge to darkness In starlight and in immense depths A profound salvation becomes abundant Being emanated from insentience Its dependency holds true with time Kaleidoscopic building blocks progress Blurring all that is lost in the process “I have sowed the seeds of every beginning” “Formless and undefined I, your solvent” The essence of it all, the key element Ascend from nothing, be everything Between the context of freedom altering scorn Releasing the strength to modify Readapt to amplify Being begets being Yet the origin sprouts a paradox A mystery hidden in eons to come Perhaps revealed only after death blooms A mediocre beginning expanding To a monumental task “You are unseen just as I was Passing through mere sight” Within the design is self-replication A key union of existing and progressing A constant sustenance of cellular change “Pride yourself with liberation” Not all have seen the light of day A number has broken apart But those that remained intact Lasted without interruption The proverbial loop transcends perception A ouroboros pattern unveils the path Evolving and diversifying “While you roam free, you are confined” The bipolar nature stimulated a response Reorganizing spontaneously in spheres Finding comfort in numbers Harmoniously bridging diametrically opposites The equilibrium of natural selection arise Favoring only growth in chemical stability Heavily armored with perpetuation A prototype emerges in complexity Yet in order to create, one must destroy “Your evolution paved way for revision Gave birth to new ethers, a new hope While this propelled your grand ascension An inexorable plague is impending” Life spawned life and demise an integral part The brewing ambrosia for existence A fatal poison on the other end Symmetry – destabilize to stabilize The infernal extinction gradually followed by frost Spectral opposites yet held a commonality But Resilients adapted, some through hiding “Underneath it all, I am your redeemer” Beneath the paleness of surface Where thick clouds prohibited light Glaciation is extremely prominent But existence endured and thrived The young celestial sphere similarly preserved By the expanding universe A cryptic cycle of balance and cohesive intricacy Amidst the turning wheel is predation A vicious necessity for evolvement Unveiling divinity’s hideous horns Restoring wings to Hadean thorns In the guise of abysmal depths Dance the vast plates Rearranging, lands collide Taking shape in new forms Shadows replicated the obscurity Brimming symmetrical threats Vulnerabilities exposed in foreign draft In an eventful turn, austerity reigns supreme A dystopian coldness veiled relentless faith A frozen wasteland remained as light reflected into oblivion Not even the solar forces hindered what transpired Yet in this icy prison, the globe was released The cold spell has been broken, spanning ages The core preserved its heat, More than that of the face of the sun Constant volcanic activity revealed impact As rocks are embedded in thick ice Nothing absorbed the spewed gas, caging the warmth of the sun In turn, paving the way to the rise in temperature “Awakened once more, in multitude” “In the arms of darkness, inhabits your extant” While the frost slowly fade into that of once was Its remnants across oceans serenaded what is to become “In my arms, you have survived, and evolved yet again” “Your diversity and becoming is inevitably unfolding” Rapid changes are exploding in myriad courses “In the heart of your agonizing transformation Lies the dogma of your existence clad in acid” “Brace yourselves, you are to ascend” Augmented landmass, heavens transformed Ushered the gates into multiformity Symbiosis relegated natural isolation Compensating for expansion towards greater evolution Flora and Fauna Channeled bodies, full of pores Sans skeleton, no outer shell Ferrous ion oxidized, turning surface again into red “Time reveals you are not alone” Increased elemental levels refreshed the ways of the deep Adorned with shells and bones, crawling and gliding and dancing The medium reshapes the cradle of life Climatic extremes alternated Death and rebirth propagated Variation created new forms Crossbreeding, crown evolution The grand emergence of complexities Burst forth in unrivaled abundance Radiated waves enraptured diversity stems Eradication broadened the becoming Natural changes Collection from fragments Riddled the unfolding

Unfolding perilous times of old In the midst of countless rebirths Raised by chaos in love with heaven’s rage A touch uncovered ruthless chains deranged Hostilities reign supreme In light of myriad changes Above waters engulfed new seeds “Unbound from my embrace” Spreading on lands, encompassing Imprinting firstborns reanimate Specific nexus resurfacing “I am in you, I am you” “Your ignorance, your indifference Avow little of what is to become” “Cherish the temporary bliss Of liberty not to be judged amiss” Deep in the darkness of the origin Whirred the evolutionary continuum Solidifying the aegis of survival The resilience of the weak reborn Flourished are the ways of the Green Vigorously exerting necessities Refurbishing not only what is below But taming likewise the vile above Reclaiming the surface are deep-dwellers Armored by respiratory shields “Breathe and explore” “Devour your naivety” ‘Your infant eyes await” From above, new yes shifted Gifted with flight and colossal magnitude Universal perspectives present extensive views From imperceptible to leviathan Cages fragmented now from the ground Giant roamed and conquered the lands Hardened heraldic bearing reframed Led the advance of special-skinned vehemence Diversity continued in many forms Yet some lurked behind shadows Darkness its driving force Vespertine crawlers remained Inescapably the vicious cycle became apparent As always with growth comes decay The Green struggled and lost A residue that shall echo for centuries Progress yet again halted abruptly As black dust reintroduced extinction In Death’s massive arms, life imprisoned “My children, my reflection, doom our likeness” “Fret not the scent of Death For this in time shall come to pass” “Twin with ruin, perhaps you are But your seed shall resurrect” Annihilation spread vastly and swiftly Wiping out almost everything Across plains, above and beneath it All are compromised, nothing is beyond reach Amidst the harshness, the Calmers thrived Another inferno was given birth to Reverting to the primordial state The solitary traverse to lifelessness

The Reign 07:11
Lifelessness consumed the web of wonders Defying most of what’s to become The mystical flaw, the neglect of reason Holding back the bones of time Indisposed in the confines of the grave wheel of uncertainty “But still I am, the Omniscient Justice” “Devourer of halting minds” These are days of Old Which casted shadows of the Now The Great Dying birthed supremacy Dominance reaped the expanding fear Yet enormity wreaked susceptibility Prey preyed upon in cycle Death reclaims mastery over the Origin Reshaping surfaces over again Restless reinvention Unfolding multiplicity Colossus flourished and ruled Lording in all optic scopes The struggle for eminence built to last Internal defiance corresponds to none Generations elapsed, behemoths thrived Eclipsing counterparts, reigning still Unsuspected, mayhem hovers above Demise of ascendency in an instant Infernal descent, destroying anything in its path The skies revolted, mirroring scenes below Destruction unleashed The grave passing rekindled Boulders in flames rained down Lighting the dark heavens untamed Everything is a blur, convulsing “These visions still linger” The onslaught embraced what is Crimson largely occupied the surfaces “The one birthed you becomes your death” “Darkness through my eyes fell” The Hiddens held out Consuming all amidst the aftermath Improbable heirs to precedency In the cycle of end and resurrection In memory of the once supreme Serenity transcends With the torch of evolvement Diversity reinforced
6.
Reinforced by the Hands that touch the skies Torment has ways to nurture what remained But the wounds scar the very core of broken hopes Release… time will reveal Crimson entwined with tangerine Overwhelming strongholds of yore Daunting waters stood tall No aegis shall bear and hold “Drifting visions, recurring thorns In my darkness, I dwell afloat” “Swallowing the uncontrollable Am I truly of the gods?” Skies ablaze with fiery lamps Inferno seized the throne and crown Nigh devouring what were once existing A void rendering dreams bleak Yet every beginning transpires from nothing Insignificance uncovered prosperity Hand Greens resurrected the Crawlers Diversity withstood the end anew The chain of death and life pursued As above, so below Scarcity and emptiness redefined the Alpha A new hope casted shadows away Instability breeds resolve Resilience broke barriers From the ashes of unimaginable horrors “My children, in bloom” Lineages established, a future reborn In the absence of colossal predators A vast faith sparked into the Resilients Countless doors opened, “Rise my scions” Sustenance suffice among hunters and the hunted The globe is a playground, a fortress, a hearse Desperation demands for the unthinkable A prescription for lasting survival The Greens cradled the Esse Revolutionized the spirit of diversity Adaption to unpredictability withered Birthed the symbiosis with Nature Peaks nigh touching the heavens Drawing the biting safeguard crown New lords emerged, proud and daunting Laced the thriving of those to be Kings Surfaces cleansed, embracing changes Devourers of death and decay ushered life anew Unexplored grounds spawned divergent frames Colossal Greens welcomed the embrace Ferocious hunger intensely driven “As above, so below” The hunt inaugurated the convoy Steps reintroduced away from dawning
7.
Dawning and promising is the rebirth of purpose Unparalleled hope recreating the devastated Beneath the remains of isolation sprouted shadows “I see you still, behold, you are free” Yet freedom is never abiding and given The vicious cycle sustained and dire A labyrinth for Thinkers to unravel “Expansion will be upon you, become you” “Your liberty is beyond cages, emerging” “Your hunger, a weapon to thrive” Senses transcend, brilliance in abundance Enduringly a breakthrough, a vision to last Hostility reshaped its dreadful head Lines betrayed in heinous force Expanded awareness sets chaos Into unrestricted feral yearning Every infancy spawn from cadaver The beginning of the end is a beginning A master scavenger to a persistent hunter Necessary dependence, dancing to mutualism Formative years spread through eons Stability built a great fortress Detailed purpose pristinely precise “Now I see a masterpiece in disguise” Infernal delight, a guiding light The Elixir of nativity beyond recognition Scarlet gold, a protector from darkness A tripping embrace of care and affection Words, a vital piece developed Amidst the endless battle for survival A tool stronger than knives and spears Escorted the new evolution “I am your light, your confusion” “Your confusion is your salvation” Threading aimlessly blind into divinity Darkness is all there is Devouring the freedom of what has been Purpose has pierced the very core of life Devoid of innocence Unfolding such perilous times Life itself consumed the wonders Reinforced by the hands that touch the skies “Now I am” “Am I?”

Raven Wundis is a solo project  that weaves diverse elements into a musical journey of experimentation and transcendental conceptualization that dwells heavily, but not exclusively, in the madness and grandeur of the human psyche.  Raven Wundis has been in several Filipino Metal bands over the years, Bulletproof (Metal), Praena (Progressive Metal), Anhura (Progressive Metal), Bloodshedd (Death Thrash) and is currently with I Soar I (Experimental) and The Muted Squalls (Alternative).  In 2020, he finally decided to pursue the long overdue plan of constituting  a solo project.  Branching out from what he had previously done, Raven Wundis embraced the call of his inner voices and created  something that is laced with mystery, breeding recurring themes echoing from segments to segments, in turn blurring categorization, yet not betraying his roots.
