As my hollow hull lays down to rest
I acknowledge there is no "forevermore"
Only withering and vanity
Void was before and void will be
Every trace I made is washed away
All the words I spoke gone with the wind
My monolithic fortress razed to ashes
Disciples of the ravages of time
But this bitter vision holds the truth
The solemn secret of my drive
May my proud words enrage the storms
And may my flame ignite the world
And so I raise this chalice of entropic wine
To finiteness and vanity
