Aftershine

As last brown dwarfs turn cool
As billions of years pass
In freezing whirlpool
Of interstellar gas

Bounded by fear
Concealed in shade
All we held dear
Will slowly fade
To aftershine

As singularities
Consume all the mass
And capture the time
A frozen hourglass

Bounded by fear
Concealed in shade
All we held dear
Will slowly fade

Leave substance behind
Nothingness awaits
Particles declined
The real disintegrates

What a mute spacetime
Where souls prevail
Not a noise not a vibe
Unable to quail

To misread a sign
To remember the pain
By light defined
We all slowly fade
To aftershine
