DAY 1 09:49
Sky cracks open The cosmic void takes my soul With awe and fear Godful strength Slave of ancient atavism Feel the thirst of graceful destruction Bleeding through a veil of unknown matter Burning through time and space Crushed underneath the weight of nothing It owns my guts It owns my mind I own nothing (just my emptiness) I am nothing (emptiness) As they rain death in our parade of uselessness It begins And "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

DAY 2 08:44
Trembling legs are weak Run as far as safety goes These painful sights of broken limbs and blood Forsaken til the grave Made out of melted flesh and stinking skulls Run in fear Walk in silence Out of sight To save our kind These may be dark woods These are safe borders This may be life Eventually Turning into late Death When the dust settles When the night ends What awaits us under the sun? When the smoke clears When crumbled walls lie peacefully Will we stand or lie down? A crack in the dark may show some light A beam of Death may bring some peace The last days are upon us Se may survive to see dawn We may stand a few hours and die tomorrow But no safety is guaranteed Not today Not in this place Not tonight Yellow eyes marked our heaven Flames from sky, sure death This illusion of safe is volatile Run in fear Walk and die Run with trembling legs Find peace above these screams Find death beneath these ruins These sights are before my eyes Run for safety Run from Death Run to heaven Run from hell

DAY 3 05:38
My dear, I'm writing from afar Let them know doom awaits Harsh cold death for those too weak to face defeat We'll rise We'll fall My dear, I'm writing from afar You must know the bleak sights above our heads This war we can't win This war we can't lose Keep the little one safe, keep them warm beneath the ground Blood will rise and we may find peace The tide will turn (and words) My dear, keep in mind: We were never supposed to be safe in the first place This is the end of me The end of sight that brought me here No relief in losing hope No relief in writing words

DAY 4 08:25
Awake My brain is rife with blood harsh stink It fills my lungs And I can't breath Buried beneath fallen angels A necessary evil to appoint a losing war to The broken Gates of Eden It all lie around me Am I dead? Was I even alive? (Awake) They raid the ground They raid our limbs They dump empty shell In bottomless pit The one I rose from The one I've been dumped into Shadows are friends when death is out to seek Holding behind her cape Crawling like maggots To eat the dirt another day It's an all out war against extinction Blood against the unknown The scariest future is a second away Shots fired Once again running From the unknown

about

6 days
6 songs
6 pages written in fear before a crumbling planet
Before all life gave up to unwilling slavery
Humankind is lost, now only surviving inside broken bodies controlled by a higher form of life, forced to destroy their own planet, harvesting from dead soil and living in misery.
This is the chronicle of a doomed sky, under which only death prevails.

Dedicated in memory of Stephen Hawking
