Beyond all there is a light that shines
A spark far out in the horizon
A wave of peaceful stillness
Stuck in it's own contraption
Meditating a world beneath my feet
A dark ancient wisdom subsides
The very steps of natural laws
The possible outcomes defined
Seeking the traces to the origins
From which this black hole arises
To take all that nurtures the dark
The cold return of reprisal
Recenter the cosmos to align
With which all rises from the ashes
Matter leaves what matters not
Matter shan't kill what matters not
Centrifugal speeds, collisions
Intergalactic gruesome opposition
Hollow and empty this star sways
Sways from an abandoned airspace
Matter leaves what matters not
Matter shan't kill what matters not
