Marcelle stared up at the stars at night
And dream of what lay beyond her sight
But one day, Marcelle looked a little too deep
Into the vast and endless expanse
And what she saw made her heart skip a beat
The eternal void, the endless chance
She saw the vastness of time and space
The endless cycle of life and death
She saw the past, the present, and the future
All tangled up in one great cosmic mesh
She saw the secrets of the universe
And the mysteries that lay beyond
She saw the horrors of infinity
And the darkness that lay beyond
She couldn't tear her gaze away
From the endless void that lay before her
She was entranced by the eternal mystery
And the horrors that lay within
And as she stood there, lost in thought
She realized with a sudden shock
That she was staring into the eyes of eternity
And she could never, ever stop
The horror of that endless gaze
It consumed her, body and soul
She was trapped, forevermore
In the grip of the infinite unknown
