Fifty years Without feeling the gravity under my feet Fifty years Since I left everything I built, And everyone I loved, behind Fifty years Of silence
I can clearly remember The day the world Collapsed on itself
I can clearly remember The mass panic The mass graves
Our animals turned against us And fled far from the cities Later our trees began to rot Soon gave bitter and wormy fruits
The streets were full of men in uniform Who told us to remain calm Later the streets were full of prophets Who prompted us to taste the human flesh
From above It now looks like A blur dot That glows so faintly
It was Not a long time ago But my home Is now far away, far away
In space No one can hear you cry (No one) Science Affliction
*Awake* *Awake* The heart of our vessel Is a frozen cathedral Where recumbent figures Are peacefully plunged into An eternal sleep An eternal life An eternal dream An eternal lie
Waiting for A permanent disconnection
I can’t prevent from wondering What happened then Below
Now I can’t prevent from thinking That my body belongs To the ground
We left the chaos for the void And there’s no point of arrival Up there
-”Transmission”- -”here is a message”- -”from the stars”- -”Can you hear me”- -”I repeat” -”Can you hear me”-
It was Not a long time ago But the Earth Is now far away, far away
In space No one can hear you cry (No one) Science Affliction
From above It now looks like A black dot on black And it glows no more And it glows no more
-”we are lost as lost can be”- -”end of transmission”-
