Xenocide from The Counterblast by Jim Griffin

Like Shelley's Frankenstein
Wandering lost 'til the end of time
You poor misguided fool
What did you think they'd do to you?

Your knowledge brought dread and fear
Damaged their precious heliosphere
Now they watch with fearful eyes
For extinction to arrive

Captured near Orion's Belt
As you tried to save yourself
From the vicious enmity
Of a doomed society

For crimes of cosmic gore
Punishment is yours forever more
Revenge comes from our grave
It is death
That you will
Crave

Your sentence is eternal life
Testify, to an endless night
Entombed forever for the ultimate crime
And the name inscribed
Is "Xenocide:
Eternal penitent
Angel of the dark matter halo"

You Fool!
Watch the universe around you fade
The ages
Will flow but slowly down

Bear witness!
To isolation for eternity
Repent!
And watch all you love die

Now time is at an end
Matter contracts to a point again
Gasses slowly coalesce
Orbit an object of ancientness

Your prison becomes the seed
Of this singularity
Humanity's vengeance proves too vain
God of hate, reborn again!
