The Only Space Race That Matters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up
Your fate is in the hands of something from above
Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time
Science can only save you, sustain you for a while
You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up
Live your whole life inspired, soon it will be done
There are so many ways in which Earth can meet its end
The inevitable end
Tectonic plate shifts, apophis messenger of death
Overpopulation, volcanic eruptions
Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time
Science can only save you, sustain you for a while
The only hope you have is far, far from this Earth
The journey treacherous but much deeper in worth
Will there be another Chicxulub, the end comes quick and swift
One million near Earth objects orbiting adrift
Will disease be carried back from the deepest realms of space
Or a gamma ray burst sent to erase your human race
Do humans even deserve to live?
Where they go, destruction follows with them
Ata carini, a supernova with extinction in mind
Coronal mass ejection, legal clouds of gas that leave Earth barren
Do humans even deserve to live?
Where they go, destruction follows with them
Earth's axis shifts, catastrophic climate change
The ice age begins
History shows every hundred million years, extinctions bestowed
Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time
Science can only save you, sustain you for a while
You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up
Your fate is in the hands of something from above
These things won't be the Earth's end, it comes more gradual
Over myriads of years, and so much more vital
The thin blue line that is essential to your world
Is slowly crumbling, the atmosphere won't hold
The Earth's core is cooling faster than imagined
So much faster than they fathomed
This in turn exposes you, no more magnetic field
Assaulted by the neos, opened up to solar flares
The only space race that matters is on
To leave this planet will ensure existence
Do humans even deserve to live?
Where they go, destruction follows with them
