I watch the vast expanse silent and awed
Eternally trapped in life's limitations
Waiting for it all to end to evaporate
For the last white dwarf to turn to iron or nothing at all.
When the balance is complete and nothing shines bright
When the sky's irreversibly black with no eyes in sight
My mistakes will be forgotten my triumphs untraceable
My life will be nothing just a tale irreplaceable.
All existence all names kings queens and battles
Loves conquests will vanish like fleeting shadows
As if they never existed like they never mattered
Everything forever becoming nothing scattered.
Frozen near absolute waiting for the last horizon's event
To radiate its mass for its mystery to be spent
Slowly atoms will decay time will swiftly fly
So much time for nothing the great waste of the sky.
