about

This is the next message we decode. This track tells the story of a world that ravaged their own climate due to runaway industrialism and perished due to a lack of foresight of the future.

In this message, the universal truth about life is that we are ignorant.

lyrics

We were a happy people
a relic among the stars
Our world had music, art, and prosperous life
and we watched as it all crumbled before us
there was a choice to make
but we closed our eyes; it's a dream
There's no way we could stop our progress machine
Can you feel the storm is coming?
Are you ready?
Oh no
This is real
Slowly the planet's dying
Hurricanes breach our cities
Water keeps flooding in
One by one we keep on fading from the future
as the waves keep crashing
wiping all traces of us from our minds
Some survived
but did they?
We lost a world full of life, love,
and everything we needed to make things right once
More is really less
when you can't figure out
what is the most important part of being free thinking?
We must get out
There is no hope for us now
This world is heating up
Just sit tight while we burn
Our time is running out
As the rivers run dry
How could we have saved the world?
I guess we deserve this fate now
Oh no
This is real
Now that the planet's dying
My one last wish is simple
Find us
Know that we were
Can you hear us?
If you can, there's nothing left now
Just a world that could not save itself
Lost to the sands of time.
