about

This is the third single from my upcoming album Beyond The Taking.
This song is about a couple who are the last humans left on Earth, and it leans into my progressive rock inspirations!

lyrics

Intro

Verse 1
It’s the year four billion.
The Earth is dying, as we walk its desert back....

We are the last ones alive,
As we try to leave this world.
It all depends on us.
We cannot fail!
Our species must prevail... .

Pre-Chorus

You are my love.
You are my only one.
The records of our race,
Coloured on our face.

Chorus 1

Why did we stay on this rock to die?
No water and life but the sky.
Our struggle will fade in time.
We lost our chance millennia ago.

Guitar and Bass Solos

Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2

I see a light shine through the sky.
A ship lands and we meet the many more.
I thought we were left here to die,
Until they picked us up and we sailed the stars.

Calling all refugees of the Milky Way Section Omega_C2!
We will be shortly arriving at Utopia!
