As we drift from dust to the stars Celestial castaways The ashes of a world behind In frozen form displayed What thrived, so full of life In flames, soon did end So goes the lot of man Spiraling away into the black Event horizon past
What began as tragedy So quickly turned to farce As tentacles entropy Left no living thing untouched (nothing left alive)
Backwards one billion years Arc of light, solar wind Rust and decay From primal fist, to obelisk Drifting, collapsing into time
Code-infused sophistry And algorithmic certainty A cut from the finest cloth Through sentient circuitry So cold to the touch
Pride in the face of madness Carved in the image of man What post-human prophecies upend Not one could defend
Fed through the vector of time Breed singularity Hal never gave an answer For what? Dtopia? delete!
Burning matter, bleak horizons Drifting onwards, into our waiting deaths
Colony collapse Necroexodus Colony collapse Exit stage left
