There will come a time of understanding
When every threshold has been passed
Far too late we'll come to realize
It was never meant to last
As the ashes slowly turn to dust
And the cinders fade before our eyes
When extinction appears inescapable
Turn instead towards the skies
Sail across the crimson skies
And tame the empyrean ocean
Probe the black for signs of blue
To seek the second brightest star
Embark on a celestial voyage
To witness the end of the earth from afar
Sail across the burning skies
To found an empyrean empire
Far beyond the dying sun
The world will be reborn
Postpone the day of reckoning
Or let it all end
Reborn in empyrean flames
There came a time of realization
As the red queen finally caught up
Came to terms with impending demise
The parasite never dies
Like corruption spreading from within
As are the mighty destined to fall
Years of the future long since passed
Empires never last
Where earthly met divine
Joined in an empyrean heaven
Celestial rule at an end
The cycle begins anew
And when no one is left to remember
The legacy will live on
An infinite loop to tell the tale
Of the human phenomenon
