In the grim beginning
There was blackness churning
Chaos filled the empty skies
Aeons pulsed with fury
Rapt in violent flurries
Aphotic depths formed new life
Beyond the young and carious earth
Existence had no bounds
And yet as the calm was upon us
Brutal wrath devoured every molecule
In the cold beginning
Obscure and unrelenting
Havoc ruled all space and time
Decimation day
Immersed in disarray
Exist and subsequently die
Beyond the young and carious earth
Existence had no bounds
And yet as the calm was upon us
Brutal wrath devoured every molecule
Dark matter consuming
Nothingness cascading
Veiled in pure obliquity
Nebulae set fire
Birthing man's empire
Dust creates and so destroys
In the blink of an eye
Stars and planets align
to rise and fall and be swept away
Beyond the young and carious earth
Existence had no bounds
And yet as the calm was upon us
Brutal wrath devoured every molecule
And the earth was without form and void
And the earth shall remain without form and void
