A Year? Step by weary step I'm dragged Into the keep I pass the pillars of our deceased Cadavers strewn (of the strong and wise) Their bodies transformed Their carbon forms turned to quartz Unnatural physics fuels horror. Trepidation fuels fight or flight But these chains that bind Drag me through this perverse tour Of our extinction I witness the fall of mankind To be drained of our life force To be drained of our life force So where will my demise take me this time? Will my soul carry on? Take flight? Or join the Realm of Misery No, I will not die on my knees I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes And in a cold stare I stand as a testament to all mankind I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes And in a cold stare I stand as a testament to all mankind Or so I thought There'll be no happy ending this time I'm shown my place My existence It's purpose to Feed this damned depriver The galaxies souls Til it swallows their suns So Who am I to defy The natural order Of the Universe Heat death Will conquer all And in the darkness These beings will rise Who am I to defy The natural order Of the Universe Feasting on sentient life Feeds their magic Quantum fluctuation
