White orbs growing on an alien world
So alone in the universe
Ignite the cradle of sentience
A flaw in the scale of evolution
They struggle not to turn inward
But their fate may be to destroy their selves
Countless species fall before
The threshold of the stars
White orbs glowing on an alien world So alone in the universe
Ignite the cradle of sentience A flaw in the scale of evolution
They struggle not to turn inward But their fate may be to destroy their selves
Countless species fall before
The threshold of the stars
Across forty billion globes we cry out for a sign
Still no word ever returns, Why is it so silent?
Are the gardens burning or are they dead and Uprooted?
And will we ever learn – our fate – our curse
Are the gardens burning or are they dead?
A sole survivor left to die, or are we all now lost? left behind?
Across forty billion globes we cry, ... why is it so silent?
Are the gardens burning or dead?
They struggled not to turn inward
But their fate has been to destroy themselves
Countless species fall before
The threshold of the stars
White orbs burning on planet earth
All alone in the universe
Echoing ash and radiation
The dead end of our evolution
We struggled not to turn inward
But our fate has been to destroy ourselves
The human race shall fall before The threshold of the stars
All Worlds Shall Fall
Now the wheel shall turn again
Behold the amnesiac children
Gazing at the sky in Fear,
Slain by wonder held sincere
Swept away smashed into
The anvil of unforgiving truth
