It was the beginning...
Fresh from the creators hand...
All things were a blank page...
Empty but anticipating the deep structure to be written therein...

Thought...
Life flurished within the universe...
Each life striving to attain...


Action...
Life consumed the nothingness, demanding all things...
be alive, hearing its call...


Deeds of Renown...
the striving for supremacy...

-- from the lost pages of Gah'dar

The ring of ever expanding shadows,
searching for ears hearing its call...
gifts from Chaos lay fallow,
as light stands a beacon for all...


Soon the young races wake,
swiftly find a path,
ancients quickly overtake,
those within their grasp...


Heed not the shadow cry!
Look not the way of light!
Search your own hearts,
find deep meaning of ancient sight!

 'ware the wormholes,
links through space,
gifts from shadows
spread the taste,
'ware deaths embrace...

Shadows gather while Lightness fades
shadows linger and destroy the day
shadows corrupt, empires grow at play

'ware the path
to the shadows lair
accept their gifts
too much to dare

Power you have, but what price to pay
What friends keep darkness at bay
Under their feet you twist and stay

'ware, Heed the call
soon you will not be there at all...
Band together, strength to find
against the darkness
power to bind...

Woe, the scattered fleets of darkness born,
raze the deep, theirs the searing scorn,
Masters of their way, terror their horn,
Woe to those who can see,



"Here are my gifts my sweet,"
"soon, me, you will beat,"
aber deep within agonies heart,
darkness grows, the uncontested start...
Woe to those who count the ways,



Woe, the unwatchful gaze,
anticipating glories praise,
never suspect the deceitful maze...
Woe to those words to the wise,



"Join the war, emerge supreme,"
"together the spoils split between,"
aber strength from anothers lean,
creates puppetry internally unseen
Woe, to the power two,



Woe, cancerous growths, the shadow lair,
woe, the unresistant neighbor fair,
woe, the unwatchful eye,
woe, its spread,
soon awaits your buried dread...
Woe to those who now know the enemies tune...

Eeriness of Silence,
Savage acts of violence?
Black Darkness,
Tech at harness?
Prey to Lure,
Predator’s seize for sure?
Whilst calm,
Races at harm?
Pacts Aloft,
Against evil, maybe to stop?
Races Old,
Thy ties unfold?
Peace; All;
Before you fall!!!

  Bringers of Order and Celestial Majesty,
 
 

 Heed now the Oracle's Tale,


 

Mighty Races,

empires farflung,

at-last departed,

past rim and beyond,

two remained,

assist the new,

Order and Chaos,

division grew...



All this you know of old for true,



  

Chaos spreads...

influence abounds

power grows

ideaology profound...



Order's accuracy

lost its grasp

unfocused purpose

knowledge lacks...



Ware, your charge, soon to your comrade pass...



  

Knowledge, combat, wisdom supreme,

Generals of Old, Held in highest esteem,

Counsel knowledge paramount 

know yourself and the other 

fear no conflict with your brother...



Do you know their strength of arms?

Do you know their influence new?

Do you know their number true? 



  

Avoiding what is,

conceive your own version to be

foolish Vorlons! AWAKE and SEE!

Your Death, Destruction looms over THEE!





________________________________________________________

Woe to those who make themselves see nothing

when darkness from galactic corners loom.

 

The power of order knows not at all

Himself, much less the Enemy,

The Enemy spreads, 

Unknown the Enemy's MIGHT...

or from where the Enemy fights...

More the Shadows in the NIGHT...



 

Search the truth, Spy all light,

pierce the veil of spreading night

Number their stars, know your fey 

all preperations fail you on that day.

Through the wormhole fly with glee

Knowing not where you’ll be

Instantly cross great divides

Chaos rewards adventurous strides.



Danger lurks in orderly advance

Predictable travel for all to glance

Unseen forces are close at hand

Can you fight what you cannot scan?



Trade with aliens before they pass by

Trust that you’ll get needed supply

Do not plan for every necessity

Chaos plans for missing luxury



The course of order is easy to predict

All the answers are not in view

Chaos envelopes orderly the orderly passage

Destruction waits at the end of the voyage

"Between the idea

And the reality

Between the motion

And the act

Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception

And the creation

Between the emotion

And the response

Falls the Shadow

Life is very long

Between the desire

And the spasm

Between the potency

And the existence

Between the essence

And the descent

Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is the Nubian

Life is Chaos

For Thine is the true Ideology, 



This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper."

 Preperations must be made

15yrs ends the charade

doom, gloom, shadows fly

unite together, or all will die



Spread throughout the galaxy far,

ships, fleets, planets mar

all the races feel the taint

order considered quite quaint



Shadow fleets assault Orders space

scorning, scoffing, expressing distaste

futile,futile, its embrace

ashamed all will see its face...

Twilight beckons as darkness envelops

Shadows vanish, but are they gone



Chaos waxes and Shadows are dancing

Order wanes and Vorlons are trembling

Chaos enraged with Shadows boxing

Order retreats and Vorlons are alone



Idle shipyards are idle no more

Plowshare are forged into weapons of war

Disruptors installed and Armageddon magazines

Loaded into battleships at a furious pace



Ships launching, battleships, frigates and bombers

Headed to where the Vorlons cringe

To the north they fly their path unseen

To the west they fly to the Vorlons home



Shadowy fleets Desolate bound

Bringing Vorlons eternal peace

Woe to you, Shadow,

foe of peace,

gathering for battle

Resplendent the feast...



Galactic dominion sure

Technology unsurpassed

The long struggles now blur

end in sight at last







Hark now proud one,

chaos within chaotic plan

what cause for servents to run 

spreading fear, the fire to fan,



Five the number of races share

deep within the shadow lair

partake of technology old

long before emergence from mold









Five to via, yet shadows lie,

gifts to those who soon must die,

woe to those by shadows side,

once caused terror, now defied



Alliances gathered from every star,

shadows taint not even a bar,

masticate the malice, paramount,

concenter the shadow fount,







What is a shadow bared,

what impediment to lights glare,

much less galactic focus occlude

once hidden, now protrudes.



In summation, the proud cold heart,

dominion keeper of the dark,

far-flung planets, shadows teem,

amass armadas, stars have not seen,







Dark the goal, servants scream,

chaos served, alliance reem

In the end, all is told,

fools they'll be, Home worlds cold

Ships so powerful a century ago

Now parked in rows ignored

Once so bright and full of glory

Now are tattered and full of woe



Victors over Vorlons in battles of yore

With weapons unequaled in power those days

Newer ships are forged with strength unmatched

Now these ignored bound for scrap not war



Intelligent ships now doomed to destruction

To loss not in battle, but to abandon



Cry out to their brethren now so sleek and strong

“Do not let us die alone in our sleep

Send us out to one final task

Better to die fighting Vorlons than burned with the trash”



So one final mission is given to these condemned

Set forth to Speed Bump deep in Vorlon’s lair

A mere stones throw from Desolate so close

Evade the Vorlons on your forlorn errand.



Proudly the fleet sails through space

Scarred and patched from past glories

Gladly sailing to meet their doom

To the cannons of Vorlons home place

All you seekers of wisdom and light: Let us unite together against the dark. Let us unite against the opaque creatures for they are a common foe and see no more than to cause chaos and destruction. 



Only together we can............



For the reason of life…....together we must....and together we will.....



Such is said....in the book of wisdom.....

So it will be........
