Long forgotten future I monitor the silence outside the firewall There’s a great big nothing and most likely no one at all All these rockets and satellites they’re all turned into debris Left us stranded down here stuck on launch sites I remember an imaginary state caught on a flickering super eight But colors once so bright they tend to darken over time.
In a long forgotten future We lived, we died In the absence of tomorrow We lived and we died
All this redundant technology, thoughts and ideals Reduced to a pile of junk that circles the sun They say it didn’t make it through the atmosphere This billion dollar spaceship our last ticket out of here
In a long forgotten future We lived, we died In the absence of tomorrow We lived and we died
One last performance by the edge of a scarp There´s a crowd moved to tears by an angel playing a barbed wired harp. I leave them to themselves, I walk away Ending up on the tarmac on a desolated runway All gates are closed, all departures are cancelled.
In a long forgotten future We lived, we died In the absence of tomorrow We lived and we died
