"I am the very loneliest of all creatures in the universeIndeed I am an epitaph to manFor having witnessed mass destruction like you've never dreamed and worseI fear I shall bear witness once again."So said the lighthouse keeperAs he struggled up the spiral stairsWhich led him to the laser flare which spanned the cosmic voidWhere keeping constant vigilHe'd forewarn this gallant guard of guardsBeware all ships the space graveyard and its stones of asteroids"For though my race was thought immuneSongtexteThemselves they did consumeSo be warned or be mourned tomorrowAnd from your deafness do desistAnd pray take heed of thisFor your present course can only end in sorrow..."So said the lighthouse keeperAs he wiped a teardrop from his noseUpon which his spectacles rose and gazed out to the starsAnd like a portrait still he staredAnd sighing to himself declared"I must invent the perfect prayerNot yours, not mine, but oursWhich in the name of charityMight lead us to eternal peaceThe ultimate philosophySome simple, single phrase."
