In the age of flames
We lived in caves
And on walls we paint
Memories of yesterday
Of flowers we picked
And goliaths we've killed
Our families were able
To spawn like cells
A globe of diversity
Fueled by animosity
Fear and reckoning
O'er our own jealousy
We cut down trees
And poured concrete
Made homes from plastics
Molecularly invasive
In the age of industry
We lived in buildings
And watched TV
To relive those memories
One saw the future
Despite your destruction
Contaminated
Breathe in this poison
A globe of diversity
Fueled by animosity
Fear and reckoning
O'er our own jealousy
We've built the skies
Through titanic lines
Slaughtered the wild
To ruin our lives
And tomorrow seems so incredible
As we obliterate our one home
Make do with your ambitions
And forget about tomorrow
In the age of stars
We lived afar
Evolved our arms
Lungs, and scars
Of planets we destroyed
And civilizations deployed
Those borne without voice
Wonder what more to avoid
A galaxy of diversity
Fueled by animosity
Fear and reckoning
O'er our own jealousy
We've built Dyson spheres
Through trials and error
Eliminated our purpose
Quantumly distant
This is our origin
Without a pure vision
