Anyone have the text to the poem in the opening movie?

I'm not sure what they want to say with the intro but I can say that I like it! It's refreshingly diffferent from the usual dumb effect-hammer-hero-super-action-intro.

Pah! I got sidetracked and then beaten to it!

"On Time"

by John Milton 1608 to 1674

Fly envious time til thy run out thy race
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours
Whose speed is but the heavy plummets pace
And glut thyself with what thy womb devours
Which is more then what is false and vain
And merely mortal dross;
So little is our loss
So little is thy gain
For when as each thing bad thou hast entombed
And last of all, thy greedy self consumed,
Then long Enternity shall greet our bliss
With an individual kiss
And joy shall overtake us as a flood
When evertything that is sincerely good
And perfectly divine
With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine
About the supreme throne
Of him, t'whose happy making sight alone
When once our heaven'ly soul shall climb
Then all this earthly grossness quit
Attired with stars, we shall forever sit
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O' Time

After long study of the poem I have come up with my own interpretation of the poem, hear me out:
Remember that the poet is talking to time itself, he starts of addressing time by saying “Fly envious time til thy run out thy race” the race may be the human race or the race which time is running, either way it shows the end of the world. He then continues to describe time as “lazy leaden-stepping hours” he also explains tat by ending the “race” man will lose little as time gains little. “So little is our loss,So little is thy gain”
He also explain that every thing mortal is "dross" or impure and in need of removal. (do remember tat the poet is a strong catholic, thus he is saying that humans and their creadtions are "dross")

He then says that as the end of the world, as time entombs all bad things and the greed of man is consumed “For when as each thing bad thou hast entombed
And last of all, thy greedy self consumed,” only happiness shall remain as we remain in heaven. For love and peace will be greatly greeted by man “Then long Enternity shall greet our bliss” (bliss meaning happiness) as joy overtakes us like a flood.

And as we stay in heaven, “About the supreme throne” and sit and wear stars “Attired with stars, we shall forever sit” (offcourse referring to heaven) we stand triumphant over death, chance and time itself!

In my opinion this poem is talking about our end, may it be natural or man made. However it does give a small hint tat it might be man made, as it refers to "greed self cosume" thus greed consuming us all. for when we are in Enternity, time itself is beaten and no longer needed, this is why time i described as "envious", for he envies the time we will no longer need him (remember in the poem time is personified, by giving it human characteristics.)

thus this can explain the adding of the poem in SH4.

Let me know
