Lich King VI: The Omniclasm |
He is formless, a spectre, a void |
Looming and dwarfing the crimson sun |
Time quickens and earth is destroyed |
Celestial bodies are fodder for razing |
Planets, gas giants are ripe |
Crowding around him, he grows ever larger |
Begins the great galactic wipe |
Sword |
Is |
Raised |
And Canis Majoris is cleaved in twain and the |
Sparks form a three hundred million mile trail of floss |
The Horsehead Nebula consumed in a fireball |
Stretching three and a half lightyears across |
Metaphysical blade shears a massive black hole |
Its accretion disc scatters as dust |
Lunging and swinging, the targets grow tiny |
Milky Way flickers, impaled on a thrust |
Omniclasm |
Whole galaxies stir with a turn of his hand |
Novas like fireflies swirl in the air |
His tremendous size exceeds the universe now |
Suddenly, only black everywhere |
Fourth dimension unfurls to his hollow eyes |
All time and all space revealed, he sees |
Abstract concepts, immutable truths |
He’ll kill these too, he thinks, and is pleased |
Sword |
Is |
Raised |
And astronomy, poetry, love, mathematics |
Fall prey to a screaming slash |
Chemistry, metallurgy and more are |
Undone in a blinding flash |
Civics, aesthetics, philosophy, logic |
Are crushed in a psionic vise |
Reason is dying, an unspeakable |
End result of his dead paradise |
This is his Omniclasm |
Back in the ash cloud that once was Earth |
The Nucleomancer remains |
Comprehends the King’s plan at last |
Bellows and rises in flame |
Furious blaze explodes in size |
And the King notes the emerald speck |
Howling up through the airless gloom |
Blossoming green from total black |
Usurper begins to coalesce |
Threads of physics all unwind |
«All hail the king,» the stars cry, dying |
A final battle at the end of time |
Sword |
Is |
Raised |
And morningstar meets it, gargantuan flares |
Sent thundering from non-corporeal steel |
Each strike blocked is answered, in a |
Cosmic, cacophonous catherine wheel |
The King sees his way to destroy everything |
A last concept lies behind his foe |
He swings, enemy thinks it a miss |
And readies the killing blow |
Omniclasm |
The King begins to cackle |
At the climax of the bout |
His aim was true, he’d run it through |
Reality itself winks out |
