Once a bright star emitting light
A protector keeping the darkness at bay
The heart of its solar system
Maintaining the balance between worlds
After millennia of absolute power
Still a radiant galactic jewel
But there is a time for its life
Suddenly to end
A stellar explosion to outshine
The destruction of countless worlds
Cosmic rays and radiation
Shock wave of gravitational collapse
Nuclear reactions swarm the void
Erasing planets in a great burst
Massive power of a gigantic blast
A universal annihilation
Death of a sun in a majestic feast
Of new life and death
A nebula to take its place
A ceremonial silent tomb
