Long Forgotten Future

I monitor the silence outside the firewall
There's a great big nothing
And most likely no one at all
All These rockets and satellites
They're all turned into debris
Left us stranded down here
Stuck on launch sites
I remember an imaginary state
Caught on a flickering super eight
But colors once so bright They tend to darken oven time

In a long Forgotten Future
We lived, wе died
In the absencе of tomorrow
We lived and we died

All this redundant technology
Thoughts and ideals
Reduced to a pile of junk
That circles the sun
They say it didn't make it through the atmosphere
This billion dollar spaceship
Our last ticket out of here

In a long Forgotten Future
We lived, we died
In the absence of tomorrow
We lived and we died

One last performance by the edge of a scarp
There's a crowd moved to tears by an angel
Playing a barbed wire harp
I leave them to themselves
I walk away
Ending up on the Tarmac
On a Desolated Runway
All gates are closed
All departures are cancelled

In a long Forgotten Future
We lived, we died
In the absence of tomorrow
We lived and we died
