A stirring shadow spirals overhead
To pierce the armored atmosphere
Impending impact brings the end to our being
Condemned to repeat time and history
A calamity from the skies,
On a crash course to collide
Finite and fragile,
Impotent and ephemeral
Eight billion breaths force-fed with ash by death's cosmic grasp
In the face of disarray, guilt and remorse
Lifeforms clinging as the final chapter closed
Oh, in feverish obscurity
The distant tremors echo near
For all is dust from cradle to grave
Hold tight and revere the hours that remain
And with extinction comes a falling star
Her hooves beat down this borrowed soil
Oh, to bring forth the end
Negation of existence
Constrained to a universal funeral
A planet void of use
The future's fragmentation
Reduced to a universal funeral
Condemned to repeat time and history
Existential expiration
For the banished and forgotten
