Osiah - The Second Law

A year?

Step by weary step I'm dragged
Into the keep
I pass the pillars of our deceased
Cadavers strewn of the strong and wise
Their bodies transformed
Their carbon forms turned to quartz
Unnatural physics fuels horror

Trepidation fuels fight or flight
But these chains that bind
Drag me through this perverse tour
Of our extinction
I witness the fall of mankind

To be drained of our life force
To be drained of our life force
So where will my demise take me this time?
Will my soul carry on? Take flight?
Or join the realm of misery

No, I will not die on my knees
I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes
And in a cold stare
I stand as a testament to all mankind
I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes
And in a cold stare
I stand as a testament to all mankind

Or so I thought
There'll be no happy ending this time
I'm shown my place
My existence, its purpose to feed this damned depriver
The galaxies souls
Till it swallows their suns

So who am I to defy
The natural order
Of the universe
Heat death
Will conquer all
And in the darkness
These beings will rise
Who am I to defy
The natural order
Of the universe
Feasting on sentient life
Feeds their magic
Quantum fluctuation
