There will come a time of understanding When every threshold has been passed Far too late we'll come to realize It was never meant to last As the ashes slowly turn to dust And the cinders fade before our eyes When extinction appears inescapable Turn instead towards the skies Sail across the crimson skies And tame the empyrean ocean Probe the black for signs of blue To seek the second brightest star Embark on a celestial voyage To witness the end of the earth from afar Sail across the burning skies To found an empyrean empire Far beyond the dying sun The world will be reborn Postpone the day of reckoning Or let it all end Reborn in empyrean flames There came a time of realization As the red queen finally caught up Came to terms with impending demise The parasite never dies Like corruption spreading from within As are the mighty destined to fall Years of the future long since passed Empires never last Where earthly met divine Joined in an empyrean heaven Celestial rule at an end The cycle begins anew And when no one is left to remember The legacy will live on An infinite loop to tell the tale Of the human phenomenon
