And what comes next
A chance to save ourselvesImagine magma encrusted in rock
And on the surface of this world
All eyes are on the clock
All our empires, our philosophies
Our practiced faiths
Our revolutions
Our proud sciences
Are all but a flickering
One day in the lives of the starsWe can breathe in space
They just don’t want us to escape
We can breathe in space
They just don’t want us to escapeAnd what comes next
The constellations, yes, all 88 of them
A chance to save ourselves
Like the G8, they meet to procrastinateGreetings,
We are an infant species
Crawling into our own premature decline
The north star is chairing the meeting
He knows we’re spoiled
And he’s snickering at our historiesWe can breathe in space
They just don’t want us to escape
We can breathe in space
They just don’t want us to escapeThe hollow proposals mean we’ll migrate
But they’ll bleed us dry
until the 11th hour
And when dawn breaks I’ll sit and stagnate
With this metric tonne on your shouldersHow do you cope,
We are an infant species
Crawling into our own premature decline
The north star is chairing the meeting
He knows we’re spoiled
And he’s snickering at our historiesLet’s prove the stars wrong
We’ve got to do thisI find it hard to believe that we are alone
Hardcore trance awesomeness!
