I was the beginning
I will be the end
I cause the laws of physics to bend
To break
The stars dance to my call
In my wake, all things fall
I lurk in the empty recesses of hearts
Waiting for the next frenzy to start
I am the largest of destroyers
The smallest of points
I'm the most barren behemoth
The densest moment
I'm the result of infinite fractions of a second
The largest masses come when I beckon
I am the secret on which the cosmos depend
I was the beginning
I will be the end

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
