Annihilation In Equilibrium

from A Demon Rising (EP) by Hammerdrone

about

There are so many images and stories, films and songs about the end of the world. Most seem to imagine a Biblical cleansing or some horrific, self-induced nuclear or biological weapons disaster. But it seems to me that the real terror lies in the nature of reality itself: the dissolution of everything into a formless nothing seems to be built into the rules that govern our existence. Temperature, pressure, gravity: all seek to achieve perfect balance…

lyrics

"Annihilation In Equilibrium"

Observe! It all flows down to nothing
Pooling at the lowest point.
Observe! The metal cools, tides subside
Heat and motion standing still.

Annihilation in equilibrium
It all falls down,
Entropic force triumphant
When nothing is crowned.

Light and sound decay to heat and flatten like mercury
Pressure and form cease to be, without the rule of gravity.

Observe! Our naïve and frantic game
Scrambling to develop threats
Observe! Our faces turned away
But the end is waiting, all the same.

Annihilation in equilibrium
All is worn down,
The universe is perfect
When nothing is crowned.
