[Lyrics: Netherton] |
|
As we drift from dust to the stars |
|
Celestial castaways |
|
The ashes of a world behind |
|
In frozen form displayed |
|
What thrived, so full of life |
|
In flames, soon did end |
|
So goes the lot of man |
|
Spiraling away into the black |
|
Event horizon past |
|
What began as tragedy |
|
So quickly turned to farce |
|
As tentacles entropy |
|
Left no living thing untouched |
|
(nothing left alive) |
|
Backwards one billion years |
|
Arc of light, solar wind |
|
Rust and decay |
|
From primal fist, to obelisk |
|
Drifting, collapsing into time |
|
Code-infused sophistry |
|
And algorithmic certainty |
|
A cut from the finest cloth |
|
Through sentient circuitry |
|
So cold to the touch |
|
Pride in the face of madness |
|
Carved in the image of man |
|
What post-human prophecies upend |
|
Not one could defend |
|
Fed through the vector of time |
|
Breed singularity |
|
HAL never gave an answer |
|
For what? Utopia? Delete! |
|
Burning matter, Bleak horizons |
|
Drifting onwards, into our waiting deaths |
|
Colony collapse |
|
Necroexodus |
|
Colony collapse |
|
Exit stage left |
