A Great Nothing Songtext
von Osiah

Consume, everything for replication
They are all unquenchable harvesters
Devoid of empathy, their purpose one of
Facility, specifically, the consumption of all energy
Ruthlessly, systems designed, upmost integrity

Their intent, construct a universe eternity
Masters sleep, dig immortality
Clouds of nanotech
Plague swarm, destruction of life, a solitary species

They all sleep in their forged dreams
Exploration, irrelevant
They sleep in their forged dreams
Circuits stock everything


Power to fuel existence
Stolen from the other stars
Heaven, manipulate reality
Symbiotic duality
Clouds of nanotech
Unobserved by the naked eye
Breaching Earth′s sky

Penetrating within
Extracting from the futile
A mist of corroding nano-exile
Explore, detect, infiltrate
Consume, extract, repeat
Destroy, improve, recreate
Deploy nano-destruction

Explore, detect, infiltrate
Consume, extract, repeat
Destroy, improve, recreate
Deploy nano-perfection

The skies reek of consumed energy
All we know, a swarm of parallel reality
Consumed, destroyed, no sympathy
Perfected, reconstructed nano-vitality

They shall devour, gather matter for power
Black out the skies, light takes time to arrive
No sign, they're already gone
Beyond the reach of light, a great nothing


Dead star yields no more
So now they propagate calamity
Devastate, maintain existence
Technology, no resistance
