(Intro)
By the time you hear this, Eons might have passed.
The sun will have devoured everything to the orbit of Mars.
From the third planet we come, a lovely place called earth.
A world now lost within the sun's enormous girth.
With this time capsule left deep inside your moon.
We leave you with a gift of our stories, pictures, and tunes.
Be you humans or be you another species.
All we ask is remember us, Oh children of Enceladus.
(Verse1)
Many a millennia, a frozen ball of water.
But in due time, the sun grows ever brighter.
And so, we thawed and awoke, marvels of flesh and bone.
Amidst spectacles and sceneries that rival your beloved home.
Did you have a good run? Did you reach your prime? Or did you die young?
What became of your kind? Did you make it through? Did you defeat time?
Did you aid entropy? Did you bring about order? Temperamentally?
You've had your moment in the sun. You've had your share of fun.
You've had your moment in the sun. And now your world burns.
You've had your moment in the sun. But now it's our turn.
(Chorus)
Was it nuclear explosions?
Cosmic forces beyond comprehension?
Was it destruction by conquest?
Or did you put yourself to rest?
In death, do we all find peace.
Undeniable beauty in her sweet release.
But as long as you're remembered, you can't earn your final goodbye.
So shut up and die.
(Verse 2)
Didn't mean any malice, don't mean any hate. In no way are we callous.
In the light of an aging sun, woke up at a late hour. And soon we'll be gone.
So before we share your fate, We'll savor our time here. Can you relate?
You've had your moment in the sun. You've had your share of fun.
You've had your moment in the sun. And now your world burns.
You've had your moment in the sun. But now it's our turn.
(Chorus)
Was it nuclear explosions?
Cosmic forces beyond comprehension?
Was it destruction by conquest?
Or did you put yourself to rest?
In death, do we all find peace.
Undeniable beauty in her sweet release.
But as long as you're remembered, you can't earn your final goodbye.
So shut up and die.

An absolutely beautiful track. It truly invokes an image of a dystopian cyberpunk world in the head of the listener, and brings its characters to life. pbjis2op4me

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
