Numen from Numen by Alkaloid

Of all the worlds
Like space dice hurled
Four of us made it to the core
Hailed our kin to come pouring in
And come they did, by the crore
Across eons, craving more

Never lose momentum
Dragging clusters with us,
Star by exploding star
We set the stage to assuage
And fix the half-a-trillion-body problem

Caustic gas moving fast
Bending world lines to our delight
We have amassed, blast by blast,
Let’s meet the monster at last

Forging Elysium
On a frail equilibrium
Of radiation and gravity
We hatch the Dyson galaxy

Turn on the light
Sending spirals to the giant
Turn on the light
With a swarm of singularities
Turn on the light
And never lose momentum
Feed the monster
Turn on the light

Plasma soars from the poles
Incandescent spires climb the dark
Spacetime roars around black holes
Strung along prongs of light
In arcs of topology reborn
Twining space into a lace of toroid horns

Gargantuan tree of life
Colossal lucifer rising high
From the starry plane
A seething hive, alive again

Behold the mark we carve
From raw continuum
Outshine the cosmos
Invert the sky

Curled into fugal vortices
The swarm now mines the ergosphere
Halo-driven sentinels swirl
Scatter to outrun expansion

Catch a ride to the Great Attractor
To colonize and breed
More monsters throughout the sky

Pulsars and magnetars
Dance with billowing zombie stars
Weaving fractal phenomena
While we wait for Andromeda

Turn on the light
Turning A* into a quasar
Turn on the light
In a shell of singularities
Turn on the light
How they ooze momentum
From turbulent to laminar flow

Concentric cortices accrete
Stratum after monumental stratum closes in
The lattice grows
The galaxy contracts

A world
Balanced on a pin
Lined up to bleed the monster
With its own glow

Horizons mill
Eerily still
A ballet in gravity collapse

As a star is to dirt
This will be to a star
It’s getting dark in the Milky Way

As our first sphere
Engulfed the sun
Now the galaxy veers
In luminous display

Numen
Clusters boil
Thrusters toil
Oh how the constellations coil

Numen
Spirals pour
To the core
And thus we soar to Kardashev IV

Numen
Thralling space
At insane pace
The void succumbs to our embrace

Numen
Orbits climb
Shrinking time
Chime the gravity bells for all to hear

Numen
God
Are you there
For we come knocking at your door

Numen
Our cage of yore
Rends and roars
As we come crashing through your door

Numen
Coagulate coordinates
Accelerate our escape
