Ode to Death - Enforcer

Night the days are waxing bleak

December ice forms on the boughs

A branch that severs a sole last leaf

Light dwindles into a fall

The brines abiding ebb and flow

Pulsating rhythm of the sea

Alternating tides move seamlessly

As ocean storms draw near

Clutches of winter

Ushering death and awakening again

The grasp of time

Overthrowing inequity and harmony

Crude are the gods of man

Civilizations raised in their name

For whom has blood been shed

Just to be awashed in eternity

Generations lost in toil

The futility of conquests and triumph

Implanted monoliths

Bearing new laws from superior life

Gone be the memories

Progress demands sacrifice

On through a whirl of stars

Where gravity swallows all signs of life

To Jupiter and beyond, beyond infinity

On and on through space and time

To unknown stellar domains

To Jupiter and beyond, beyond infinity

On and on through space and time

To unknown stellar domains

To Jupiter and beyond, beyond infinity

On and on through space and time

To unknown stellar domains
