It grew unabated Every month it could shelter Another few million souls We tested in on Ganymede Within less than a year The colony was thriving But it did not stop growing In the subsequent years It covered the surface of the moon It grew and grew Until it deemed its very denizens A threat to its survival Few escaped and those that didn't Were forced to hide In the recesses of that endless city In time the city engulfed Not only the surface But the depths as well It grew until nothing was left But a living maze Of metal and machinery A place where none Now dare venture The planet city of Birulon

Ganymede Lost
It grew unabated Every month it could shelter Another few million souls We tested in on Ganymede Within less than a year The colony was thriving But it did not stop growing In the subsequent years It covered the surface of the moon It grew and grew Until it deemed its very denizens A threat to its survival Few escaped and those that didn't Were forced to hide In the recesses of that endless city In time the city engulfed Not only the surface But the depths as well It grew until nothing was left But a living maze Of metal and machinery A place where none Now dare venture The planet city of Birulon
