Endgame

The world is not before us
To give us life and entrust
Secrets we'd only use to change it's face

There is no other
Our only mother
Whose womb is barren from the pain
So she fades away

In our final hour
Will we feel the shame?
Will we bow before the darkness and the flame?
With our final breath
Will we come to know the reign
Rules governing our universe
One in the same?

The only constant I fear
Yet we'll be remade
To live in memory
A billion light years away;
The world is not here for us
To spread our seed and mistrust
Evolution as an unfortunate mistake

In this final moment
Will we feel our shame?
As the flesh it burns
To simply fall away
As we kneel and pray to
A god that never came
The time for unity is now
Before the pain.
