The Second Law

A Year?

Step by weary step I'm dragged

Into the keep

I pass the pillars of our deceased

Cadavers strewn (of the strong and wise)

Their bodies transformed

Their carbon forms turned to quartz

Unnatural physics fuels horror.

Trepidation fuels fight or flight

But these chains that bind

Drag me through this perverse tour

Of our extinction

I witness the fall of mankind

To be drained of our life force

To be drained of our life force

So where will my demise take me this time?

Will my soul carry on? Take flight?

Or join the Realm of Misery

No, I will not die on my knees

I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes

And in a cold stare

I stand as a testament to all mankind

I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes

And in a cold stare

I stand as a testament to all mankind

Or so I thought

There'll be no happy ending this time

I'm shown my place

My existence It's purpose to

Feed this damned depriver

The galaxies souls'

Til it swallows their suns

So Who am I to defy

The natural order

Of the Universe

Heat death

Will conquer all

And in the darkness

These beings will rise

Who am I to defy

The natural order

Of the Universe

Feasting on sentient life

Feeds their magic

Quantum fluctuation
