The lonesome vessel must retreat
Extinction conjures overwhelming grief
Like the burning tears from a star
Weeped over Earth and tore it apart
The war satellites initially designed to destroy incoming asteroids
Caress their orbit deforming every city to a void
Major colonies erased
All but one in outer space
The scattered dig into the Earth
How many years before we can emerge?
Morning following the cataclysm
Mourning sorrows in the mechanism
Here the light shines through a different prism
An atmosphere in a ever fractured schism
