Alone upon this rock so twisting,
Do I hear endless nothing hissing.
Blinding light fades between each star,
Dancing gas giants eclipse a heart.
Spinning away with horrific flight,
Crushing weight between the blight.
Hundreds sleep in rotting capsules,
Like worm-hidden innocent glossy apples.
Hush now wait we’re not alone,
Somethings attaching to our hull.
Our plague is set, ready to flow,
As red lights blink greenish-gold.
Open wide our metallic broken mouthes,
You’ll never live past the walls of our lurking houses.
But shhhhh, listen the spell is cast,
Your hearts have beaten their very last.
