iconBook VII - The Age of Death

Chapter 2

1Curse the night,
2Curse the unending white.
3A planet asleep, a blanket of ice.
4Even in death, cold is pain.
5Curse the unyielding pain.
6A thousand lashes, but a feathers’ touch,
7An eternity of cursed form and virus a joy,
8To this darkness alone.
9Curse the dark.
10Curse all manner of existence,
11That through our wild arrogance ignored the grey.
12A heartless, spineless immortal race with but one virtue.
13A sense of never sleeping, nor of death
14Their greatest fear.
15A fear in which we drowned each moment.
16A bottomless pit, never hitting the base, yet always falling.
17Curse then ourselves, for being so foolish as gods.
18Curse then the gods of the gods who fathomed such a curse.
