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
