Out Amongst the Stars

A curtain of starlight hangs down
Over all men on this plain

Through schism and strife
This landscape is the same

Through aeons
Across the eras
Celestial bodies uncaring
As life comes to death

Time beyond all measure
Any counting by man
Humans hold dominion over nothing
From earth we came, and will return

This planet a cosmic chariot
Out amongst the stars

Our hands grasp for purpose
For clarity and light
But winds of time erode
Nothing left but sky
