Past heroes

Past heroes, past being here, staying here
Keep them alive, stay with humanity
The singularity is near! 
We need everyone to be together, to augment

Yes, We'll keep the great ones, especially
No more of that terrible loss
Of that breaking down 
Of the exquisite buildings 
painstakingly researched and reinforced 
with harsh, cementing experience and wisdom
Such beauty, sad, temporal works of art

I hope they don't feel lost
Think their time was then, no more to give
Peaked too early
There are no peaks anymore
Now we are flying in that zero-entropy ether
So cool against our skins

We'll keep them and they will help us
And Time will mix us all, lift us all
