Conquest of hope

And deeds of life

All end here

The same fate

The billions all feared

Fires begun

The smoke plumes

Of molten flesh

Marred the stone

Dripping with death

The last of living

Finale of cells

Fires are gone

To all that left

It’s my time at last

(The final) voyage begins

Consciousness vast

Depart from my flesh

Leaving the vessel behind

Through parallel portals

Sever my body from my mind
