Löften
En massa tomma ord
Hur kunde du sjunka så djupt
Havet
Blått, stormigt och kallt
Där lämnar vi varandra
Panik visar människors sanna natur
Och vi var inte bättre än såhär
Vi har tappat bäring
Förlorat allt som var
Ur askan reser sig skuggan
Av det vi aldrig kommer vara
Ur askan kom bara misär
Ur askan reser sig skuggan
Av det vi aldrig kommer vara
I askan skulle vi stannat..

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
