Framework

Of cosmic design

Countless threads

Intertwining

Consequence

Of elements

They are born

Acephalous

Apex predator

Apex prey

Exophage

Drunk with praise

Feeding on the sorrow

They compulsively create

Serpent

Coil

Complacency in self

Displaced through eternity

Alive, wrapped in comfort

On a dying planet

Tethered to a dying star

One in a vast sea of billions

Bound together

By the unseen threads

So impossibly connected

No alteration is without it's detriment

To everything that surrounds

Celestial architect

The Allotter presides

By her measure

The gift they call time

Consecrate

For the truest love of fate

Demands recurrence

Of the same

Feeding on the sorrow

They compulsively create

Like serpents coiled

Complacent in self denial

They covet this world bathed in red

As the ends begin to fray

They struggle to escape the great decay

But every fiber tears

Every life left bare

By their threads

All is led

By their threads

End to end

By their threads

All is led

By their threads

End to end

Bound together

By the unseen threads

So impossibly connected

No alteration is without it's detriment

To everything that surrounds

Celestial architect

The Allotter presides

All is measured

All is timed
