s I wake silence lets me wonder through my mind,
Darkness falls, showing me the questions never asked.
Eternity, longer than my lifetime can foresee,
Ages of creation melt into the sea.
We have sought extinction, have we not?
Can I watch it all collapse and do no more?
Long ago, we were in communion with the world,
How did humans drift so far from cause, from home?
We assumed the world belongs to us.
I’m just a man, thrown into existence by the gods.
Blind and helpless, left alone to fear and roam.
We have brought extinction, have we not?
Can I watch it all collapse and do no more?
This seemed so far away,
The future makes me wonder,
Will all be gone into The void?
