Lyrics: John Rivera
Music: John Rivera
Red rain stains the soil
It started as a silent schism
Burning in our hearts
We're fighting for survival
Phobos Shattered
Hell rained down
Catastrophic polar impact from mars
This is the war of mars & earth
The minds of man stopped evolving
Two hundred thousand year ago
The more we grow
The more unknowns
The more we risk
Black swan arrival
Fight until there's nothing left
Red rain stains the soil
And now a sea of death and dismay
Is all that remains
We fought yet no one here declared a victor
Our dreams of peace all felt so much more bitter
Now all the stars are shrouded in the night
The armageddon's here, who will survive?
This is the dance of sentient life
One takes the lead, one falls behind
The scales tip & turn over
In an instant, the world that you knew
Has been left behind
And the next cycle begins
In the wake of harrowing destruction
Both sides chose peace
But genetic change was required
To assure survival
This is the end of the line
Subspecies of mankind
Engineering their successors
To make place for their creation
Mandatory sterilization!
Oh, oh, oh
Sterilization!
We had dreams of traveling across the heavens
Building interstellar colonies
After years of failed attempts
A viable solution
My people, the next step forward
Greater than the sum of our origins
Genetic change was required
To surpass man's limits
And fill an arm of the galaxy
Diffusing across the heavens
Unprecedented growth
It's the cycle
In an instant
The world as you knew it has been left behind
Unprecedented growth
Our first true golden age
Diffusing across the heavens
Instant communication
Linked unification
The riches of the heavens
The toil of machines
Yielded living standards
Beyond our wildest dreams
Bounce
Are we alone?
Is someone out there?
Are we ready
For them?
