EMPTY WAKE (aliens approaching Earth with Earth dying just before they get there)

 

Blank not black, not filled, a void

With nothing left, all mindless druids

All is gone, the future’s clear

As clear as glass, it would appear

 

The ages trek, the waste of it

The harmony planned, has now been split

Been optioned out, taken away

Ten billion cries, echo in waves

 

CHORUS

The colony’s journey

They once were much more

Now no more than ants

Search for a lost cure

Last door they passed through

Should never have done

Mistake at crossroads

A most important one

 

LEAD

 

A small bright flame, now drenched to ash

The droided moths, go dark, fall fast

The cries now dead, the silence it roars

Lifeless life, no less, no more

 

Sense lost in vastness, may hide the next

The next unknown, if even exists

Resourceless search, exhausted with fate

Unable to end, the empty wake

 

CHORUS

 

LEAD
