No drop of water from the oceans Or from the sky No grain of soil, nor sand Or dirt from the earth No, no world Death unfurled No verdant branch, no root No flower, no seed To generate new life, existence Within its skin No more No more man, nor more breath That animates the hooved The scaled, feathered or fleshed No drop of blood, no bone, no limb Nor beating heart No mournful bell will ring this burial Nothing at all shall remain Nothing at all will echo In the frozen halls of isolate eternity Not even the heavy words That fell on deaf corpses Extinction has triumphed This is the end No word, no act Not even a single thought!
