Charging The Void

Blasting forward through a filamentous sky

Beckoned by the flash of exploding light

My soul crosses over the Great Divide

Charging the void

Isolated, I’ve been redeployed

A rider on the crest

Carry forth or plummet to death

Autopilot function has been overridden

For Isolation subjects, choice has been forbidden

But death and destruction are what I’ve been given

Particles known only in theory, within my grasp

Entering the cloud of the exploded mass

To live is to die, disjunction seals our fate

So many tyrants lie, pleading at the gates

Regimes at an end with policies left to amend

Where would the future lie if regimes had time to bide

So bring unto me, morbid mastery

I shall revoke the throne atop the stellar tree

I choose a different path from those now dead in the mire

They could not wield the flame of life. To which, now I conspire

I charge the void

I’ve found the purpose

Immortalize this life

I will return to the surface

A lust for control and power

Has grown in isolation

A sky that once brought hope and light

Now brings me desolation

I must wield the sands of time to reclaim what is mine

Stargazers have made the claims

Of enocules bursting from Alshain

Deep within the serpent’s spire

I forge a path that takes me higher

I’ve crossed the Great Divide

Now I peer into the depths of death’s door

Through the rippling veil I acquire

The dust of life that Cygnus obscures

To the other side, I have done it

I now command the draw of death’s door

To the relic Alshain, now I’ve got it

A molecule like nothing before

Star fields of Aquila set ablaze

Reap the ashes of the great Alshain

Relic Alshain

Oh Shahin-i-tarazu, now my flesh is born anew

Within my hands, I hold the sands

A sky of pillars gives life and land

The blackest night unveiling death

One inhaling, exhaling breath

Of the swan with blackened wings outstretched

A path unseen unfolds for me

I charge the void and ascend the tree

To the bird of morbid mastery

I heed the Cygnus call

They will want the dust obtained through my gall

I bring the gift of extended life

No longer will control be born of strife

I burn through disregarded space

Dispatched, forgotten, now I stake my independent claim

I will rule this stark domain
