#4 Supernova (The Delivery)

For one second, the iron gives way The star's own weight becomes its betray The core collapses at a quarter of light And then— Rebound. Shockwave tears what gravity built Every element born of guilt Carbon and oxygen, silicon, steel Gold and silver, uranium's peel This is the delivery, this is the birth The star dies loudly to seed the earth Everything heavier than iron's name Was born in this chaos, this stellar flame Supernova, supernova, you beautiful wreck You break yourself open to build the deck From your ashes, planets will rise From your death, a million eyes The blast is brighter than a billion suns The fusion ends but the journey runs Outward, outward, into the cold Stardust scattered, a story retold (Instrumental break: 15 seconds of pure noise, then sudden silence) And then— Nothing. Just debris. Just the ingredients. Just you. (Whispered) The star is gone. Long live the star.
