Interloper

The cataclysm caused the waters to rise and fall and eventually render seas dry
And these barren fields were once more walked upon by men
In the midst of the ever-stretching dunes
An expidition finds metallic ruins previously submerged
And excavations revealed a crash site of a vessel
A code was recovered from the insides
Its origin so old that its relations could be found in any culture
Before the Erasure befell
There was even further mystifications when the carved
Codes foretold the Erasure itself

Giant salt desert
Laid to waste under the scarring sky
A fitting symbiose for such settings

Into the deepening desert

Sow men the belief shield
Its splintering here lied buried
Paint men the portrait of consequence
With motives of dunes

-After weeks traipsing, they saw something

We never imagined such findings
Are we ment to solve the code
Or is it our undoing?

And in the deserts roamed lawless men
Existing in the shadow
Of what they could not understand

Ungodly asperous waste
What crazed prey would risk inhabitance?
Devoutly living off the barren plains
Awe of the relic unaccountable

Ulterior to the sands
We made our greatest discovery
Unexaminable alloys subsumed
And a component of uttermost significance

Their greatest minds solved the code partially
But no one knew what they would find
Ascertaining the existance of the unknown
