Pax Imperia

Once we ruled the galaxy,

Has contained all our enemies.

Defending the Pax Empire,

Throughout the countless centuries.

But then came galactic cataclysm,

Bringing sterilizing fire.

As if we'd wronged the universe,

And was showing wrathful ire.

Jupiter was lost to us,

Venus fell before too long.

Earth was bathed in human blood,

The empire was gone.

And thus we're left unto the stars,

Sailing in galactic void.

Sometimes fighting to survive,

While others we avoid.

And perhaps it is a well-earned fate,

To be punished for our rule.

Clutching the galaxy with iron,

In a manner surely cruel.

The final trumpet sounds its call,

We reap what has been sewn.

Seeds of our own destruction,

Left to wander stars alone.
