Summary: "Too many sins she says she sees. Too many worlds to wipe clean."
Notes: Oh my god, I've written poetry (I got stuck trying to start "Origin"). Let me just state that poetry is not part of my writing ability. Once again, if you have any thoughts, tell me. I always want to improve. There are two definitions of Stygian -
1) Of or pertaining to the river Styx, the principal river of the underworld in Greek mythology; hence, hellish; infernal.
2) Dark and dismal.
They have a plan.
She says you'll see the forgotten children of humanity.
Today is the end of all, she claims.
But come closer, to the edge, to the crater of the dead.
Welcome to the end of time, Gaius.
Patricide on the house;
All part of the package.
Full lips part, she smiles –
Today is the end of all, you think.
Don't be so transparent, she insists.
The worlds are only ending.
Too many sins she says she sees.
Release them from their misery.
Pray for the fate of the world you see.
Pray for the expulsion of humanity.
Too many sins she says she sees.
Too many worlds to wipe clean.
She hums when Caprica is reduced to ruins,
Hums when the silence descends.
Too many sins she says she sees,
Too many thoughts unclean.
