The Quartz a molten seed

Line by Line Meaning

The chaos burned the stars and stones
The uncontrollable disorder engulfed the celestial bodies and solid structures

The Quartz a molten seed
The quartz material became a melted core, like a starting point

It prophesied of violent dark
It foretold a time of intense darkness

of Copper doomed to bleed
Copper being destined to release its flowing essence

The screams a human of pain
The agonizing cries emanated from a person in distress

and bone to black oblivion
And their bones faded into an abyss of nothingness

With night a raw and gaping wound
During the night, a vulnerable and wide-open injury

Its heart Obsidian
Its core was as dark and hard as obsidian
