WGW[Verse 1]
I stepped beyond the wormhole into this broken, twisted frame
Where physics frays and reality forgets its very name
No remnants of America, no eagle’s final cry
Just hollow echoes drifting where even hope goes dry
The veterans’ ghosts still linger, some never made the crossing
Lost forever in the collapse, their final battle costing
[Chorus]
I’m sending out the signal through the veil of endless night
The universe has entered its degeneration era’s bite
All that ever was is unraveling, fading out of sight
Distressed, distressed… nothing left to f***t
[Verse 2]
Voyager One and Two are phantoms, their golden records erased
Drifting as mere quantum foam in this degenerating space
The Cosmic Microwave Background has long since died away
Black holes have all evaporated, their last Hawking breath betrayed
Protons decay in silence after eons past all measure
Half-life beyond ten to the thirty-fourth or more, a timescale without treasure
Each one crumbling slowly into positrons, pions, gamma rays so bright
Then leptons and radiation, turning solid matter into light
Atoms fall apart like sand, nuclei no longer hold
Baryons vanish one by one, leaving only stories told
Neutrons decay as well in this cold and final stage
Free neutrons once unstable now vanish from the page
Beta decay relentless, turning neutron into proton, electron, antineutrino stream
But even bound within nuclei, stability becomes a fading dream
After countless half-lives stretching far beyond all mortal ken
No neutrons left to bind the cores, no stable nuclei remain
Electrons decay in the deepest reaches of this terminal night
Hypothetical yet relentless, their lifetime stretching beyond all light
Breaking into photons and neutrinos or lighter particles unknown
Leaving only a thinning plasma where no charge can call a home
Neutrinos decay even later in this ultimate, silent fray
Their tiny mass allowing decay into lighter states someday
Turning into photons, electrons, or still more ghostly kin
Until even these near-massless wanderers reach their end within
After timescales vaster than any number we could name
The last neutrinos flicker out, extinguishing the final flame
Gravitons decay at the furthest edge of this degenerating dream
The hypothetical ripples of gravity, once binding every scheme
Now fading in the quantum foam, their curvature growing weak
Gravity itself unravels, no more pull for space to seek
After infinities of time, the last gravitational wave grows still
Leaving only perfect flatness where no force can ever thrill
Photons decay at the absolute end, in this final, lightless sea
The last quanta of radiation, once eternal, now set free
Stretched by endless expansion to wavelengths beyond all measure
Their energy drained to nothing in the cold, perfect void forever
Hypothetical yet inevitable in this terminal, silent night
Even light itself surrenders, surrende
