Don't deny your part in setting the tone for our end
You were always a sore that I could not amend
Nothing I said or did could ever have stopped this
Chokehold that you embrace and with it - your decay
And now we're finally out of bounds
You've served your last drink spiked with perfume
This rendevouz was fake from the get-go
From the moment you ceased to try, this ceased to be
This ceased to be
You ceased to me
But even now I don't feel free
This ceased to stay
You've fade to gray
You have embraced your decay
Your decay
And I hope this turns out well
For all near you
I hope you find the one to solidate you
I hope your brother grows up unharmed
I hope your mother finds happiness
I hope it turns out well
But I know it won't.
And all that's left to say are the meaningless goodbyes
That none of us demand or even comprehend
So spare me your efforts, spare me your time
Because it means so much more to me than you
In the best of worlds, anxiety would cease
In the best of worlds your god would sleep
In the best of worlds, this would concede itself
But I know it won't.

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta

Wow. I did not expect violin and cello from a crust band.
Wow. I did not expect crust from a band that has both a violinist and a cellist.
