[Salone]

Destroyer of Dreams,
Ender of Kings,
Harbinger of the End.
A thousand worlds cease to be.

Smiling lovers' lives cut short,
Mysteries of a thousand lifetimes left unanswered.
It tears away all in to the forgotten reaches,
Its shrill cries a precursor of the tragedies.
It rings out,
Defiant reminder that all before it is a lie.
That it ushers in the dawning truths.

And is silenced,
As I bring my hand down upon my alarm clock.

Just five more minutes.
