[verse 1]

In the darkest of voids, bereft of heart and will,

So we began all our lives, inception, then until,

the spiral of our galaxy, with space unbounded,

the beginning of our hopes, all truly founded.

through the challenges of fools, we are beset,

we live our lives with oh so much regret,

the fateful and yet, undwindling spire of stars,

we do not accept your poisoned prison bars.

[chorus]

So give us the light, and determined hope,

from the the darkness, of folly, let us elope,

we have science and the fire of a kind of madness,

so burn all the foolish, their wilful stupid badness,

this earth offers a life of woeful sadness,

or choose the favour of the destiny of gladness.

[verse 2]

There was a time of freezing darkness, cold,

Though we, some would say lost our friends of old,

our most terrible family, through the worst disaster,

would not seek to be our final dominant master.

the meteoric dread, would have ended all our lives,

but still the will of this earth, so dreadfully survives.

Though carnivoric hunger, was the popular repast,

the herbivorous few……. were also built to last….

[chorus]

So give us the light, and determined hope,

from the the darkness, of folly, let us elope,

we have science and the fire of madness,

so burn all the foolish, the wilful stupid badness,

this earth offers a life of woeful sadness,

or choose you the favour of the destiny of gladness.

[bridge]

The faithfully reside, in devotion and ire,

We persevere, and we will not tire,

The turning of the second most disastrous time

We call upon our fearsome family, one last time…

For this hell on earth, we would prevent.

The second extinction level event,

Time most due and the warning clear,

Do not lie to those you hold dear.

This is the version that is better, can you hear what is wrong with the other one?

It was done deliberately, a social commentary.
