Let's Not Dim the Light

So when the stars in the sky
Fall into a liquid pool of mire
The world will have ended
All chance, all hope, will have suffered
Its demise and we will 
Have nothing to look forward to
Or dare ever gaze upon again
Let not the stars fall
As it is our choice, our right
To grant eternity to the night sky
As it has granted unto us
Let not our choices destroy
That which we have not made
