From The Sun

|
A pale blue dot painted onto darkness
Lost in the vastness of the universe
Cradled in the arms of cold nothingness
Earth… Tiny, fragile, defenceless
Infinity in all directions
A stellar fireball pulled newborns around its fire
Its light and heat gave birth to our world
Nursed! Now in its field of attraction
Death came from the Sun
Sons of the Sun
Wasn’t it all meant for you to be?
Sons of the Sun
Your existence will cease ironically
Solar Flares out there, travelling through space
Hitting the Earth Like cosmic fire
Upon us is the rage of energy
Like a thousand nuclear strikes
Technological apocalypse
Geomagnetic fury as never seen before
Auroras in the sky all over the world
The Earth's magnetic shield collapses
Sons of the Sun
Wasn’t it all meant for you to be?
Sons of the Sun
Your existence will cease ironically
We took our place under the sun
Working to grasp an understanding
Of the Universe and our place in it
The rationale of all creation
We thought we'd bring our own end
Like Icarus, flying close to the sun
Our existence will cease ironically
A Star taking the life of its progeny
There is nowhere to run when Death comes from the sun
The stellar firestorm shows no mercy
There is nowhere to run, there is nowhere to run
When death comes from the Sun

Downfall
04:12
|

|
Like toppling dominoes
One after another
Parts of the system fall
The collapse is global
Upon the highest peak they stand
The future held within their hands
The self-sufficient men who prepared for the end
They may have a chance to survive the descent
(2x)
Like toppling dominoes
One after another
Parts of the system fall
The collapse is global
Electronics are down
Supply chains are broken
Money is now worthless
Everything is dying…… Dying!!!!!
Upon the highest peak they stand
The future held within their hands
The self-sufficient men who prepared for the end
They may have a chance to survive the descent
Once we felt very tall
Now we feel so small, so small!!!!
The radiations fall
Provoking the Downfall, Downfall!!!!!
Food and energy are scarce already
Gathered crowds are fighting
Over the last supplies
Humanity is kneeling
Holding out very little hope
Social order is a thing of the past
As are police corps and governments
Survivors live by a single rule
The one of the strongest
Starved, endangered
Instincts are triggered
Survival justifies the means
Going back to an animal
Animal!!!
Upon the highest peak they stand
The future held within their hands
The self-sufficient men who prepared for the end
They may have a chance to survive the descent
Once we felt very tall, now we feel so small, so small!!!!
The radiations fall
Provoking the Downfall, Downfall!!!!!

The Fool
03:13
|
|||
|
Brave ones, believers
Scientists and doctors
Billionaires and farmers
I designed a future
To escape disaster
Brave ones, believers
Engineers, constructors
Breeding pairs and soldiers
Save yourself and family
Leave your life behind and follow me
Call me fool, call me crazy
Laugh at me while you can
Call me fool, call me crazy
Eco anxiety, I call lucidity
The power held in our hands
Will put our world to an end
Brave ones, believers
Collapse is round the corner
To you I promise way better
A self-sufficient micro-society
I am right you will see
Call me fool, call me crazy
Eco anxiety I call lucidity
The power held in our hands
Will put our world to an end
To those who know I’m not a fool
Bring everything you’ve got
To finance, build and operate
To protect, feed and procreate

The Walls
04:33
|

|
Early as a child and through the growing years
My dad and I used to trek into these mountains
From the summits there is so much you can see
Surrounding peaks, endless sky, and the blue sea
And down the valley as tall as the oldest trees
The symbol of our strength and survival
Fortified walls
We prepared for Earth’s revenge
Menace finally came from the Sun
Shielded we saved ourselves underground
Along with crops, electronics, and animals
From the summits there is so much you can see
Surrounding peaks, endless sky, and the blue sea
And down the valley as tall as the oldest trees
The symbol of our strength and survival
Fortified walls
A secret world built from the ground up
Made possible by skills and technology
Conceived to survive the worst disaster
Engineered for the aftermath
Fortified Walls!!!
Symbol of strength and survival
Fortified Walls!!!
As high as the oldest trees
Fortified Walls!!!
To complement our arsenal
Fortified Walls!!!
Keep our world safe from the enemies

Our Possible End
04:24
|
|||
|
Months have gone by; life took up its course
Most of us were healthy and happy
But peace of mind didn’t last long
We’ve been discovered
Until now we drove them all off
But others will keep on coming
We are well prepared and stronger
But I fear their number
I can ear it coming from far again
The rumble of our possible end
A thud arising from the forest
The running of hundreds of men
Outside survivors have nothing to lose
They are sick and deprived
They depend on what we possess
They need us put to rest
I can ear it coming from far again
The rumble of our possible end
A thud arising from the forest
The running of hundreds of men
Under siege for seven nights and days still standing tall not to fall
Survivors of the Collapse be ready to face our arsenal
(2x)
Under Siege - They want in, behind our walls
Under Siege - Still standing tall not to fall
Under Siege - They depend on what we possess
Under Siege - We need them all put to rest
Under siege

First Blood
04:30
|
|||
|
This time they are coming out of the forest in greater number
Screaming and wielding their weapons like rabid animals
I can see a few guns but mostly homemade axes and hammers
Behind our walls we are waiting heavily armed
The surrounding grounds are covered with blood and corpses
Those of the ones who did not survive the previous attacks
Running around and over dead bodies they are easy targets
But this this time it’s going to be a very different battle
From afar I can see them bringing in a weapon, a catapult
Soon Firebombs are flying high over our walls in the sky
OH! This battle brought us our first suffering
OH! In this battle, our first Blood
Oh! This battle brought us our first suffering
Oh! In this battle, our first Blood
Father engineered this new world
He gave up all that he had
He fought for his vision to become reality
Above all by love, for me to escape disaster
Above all by love, for me to survive the collapse
Above all by love, for me to escape disaster
Above all by love, for me to survive the collapse
We never thought they could gather so many outside survivors
And to our great stupefaction, build such a catapult
To stop the firebombing soldiers went out with father
All of them came back sound and safe, all of them but one
This battle brought us our first suffering
Oh! In this battle, our first Blood
Oh! This battle brought us our first suffering
Oh! In this battle, our first death
FATHER!

Night and day, I fear
Others might know about us
But I have greater concern
We may be the last to stand
Into the laws of the Universe
I see no Good nor providence
All I can see is chaos
And perpetual movement
What if it was all in our hands?
Mankind’s last chance
We may be the last
Witnesses of the stars
The last to walk and climb
The last to ride and sail
The last to love – The last to hate
The purpose of all that exist
Is a mystery to me
The Universe destroys to create
It always takes back what it gave
We have prevailed
But while we had the past
And now the present
The future remains
In Oblivion
We may be the last witnesses of the stars
The last to walk and climb
The last to ride and sail
The last to love - The last to hate
What if it was all in our hands?
Mankind’s last chance
We may be the last
Witnesses of the stars
The last to walk and climb
The last to ride and sail
The last to love – The last to hate
And so on, the future remains In Oblivion
We have prevailed
But while we had the past
And now the present
The future remains ……In Oblivion
We may be the last witnesses of the stars
The last to walk and climb
The last to ride and sail
The last to love - The last to hate

When no more plants will grow
What will happen to the Earth?
When no more birds will fly
What will happen to the stars?
With no more fish into the seas
What will happen to the Galaxies?
When no more words will be heard
What will happen to the Universe?
And you, my father?
Why would any of this continue to exist?
If it was not to be seen, to be felt
When no more words will be heard
What will happen to the world?
