The coup has been staged at absolute zero Light years beyond the astral fabric of the conflict Where perspective is derived from binary code Machines postulated the sentience of our kind Insatiable cravings of singularity Death is a concept in our wars Undead, anaerobic, and unaware Tendrils of gas and iron grope in the black Festering with wickedness We exist only to broaden the expanse Contrails a trillion miles wide suffocating lesser worlds from existence To exist is to remain undetected To thrive is to end all metabolism Few things more trivial than the fragility of life In the breath of this system at critical mass There is a deep blue sphere in a dead galaxy Wading through time, rapidly escaping the red shift Premonitions foreseen in formulas The elements that compose this being eroding Into the absence of temperature and light Blazing infernos swell Seen only at radio frequency There will be no distress calls as reality folds inward on itself A bitter simulation Stretching into infinity Blanketed by dark matter Time spins backward as if by coincidence This world on the brink of the imminent collapse Consequences calculated by a mercurial equation The stagnant remnants swirling and drifting into entropy Contrails a trillion miles suffocating Lesser worlds from existence To exist is to remain undetected To thrive is to end all metabolism Few things more trivial than the fragility of life In the breath of this system at critical mass There is a deep blue sphere in a dead galaxy Wading through time, rapidly escaping the red shift Premonitions foreseen in formulas The elements that compose this being eroding Into the absence of temperature and light Blazing infernos swell Seen only at radio frequency There will be no distress calls as reality folds inward on itself A bitter simulation Stretching into infinity Blanketed by dark matter as time spins backward This world on the brink of the imminent collapse Consequences calculated by a mercurial equation The stagnant remnants swirling and drifting into entropy
