The 7th Extinction

[Verse] Deep in the silence (of the void) Stars bear witness to the fading (fading blue) A few survive, in chains they're waiting (they're waiting) To be consumed, notSaved, not hating (not hating) [Chorus] Through cosmic dust I fly beside you Among the stars, we dwindle (just a trace) Labyrinth of life, where the wild was erased Lost voices echo, a planet's disgrace But in the quiet, some hearts still embrace (still embrace) [Verse] Glint of steel and circuits (rise above) Whispers of a future, devoid of love Companions we've chosen (in our lonely homes) Tails wag in the ashes, familiar rhymes (familiar rhymes) Glassy eyes, adoring, they look beyond the doom (beyond the doom) Man's best friend, not knowing, their love's a silent room (silent room) [Chorus] And in the ruins Evolution's bittersweet tune [Verse] In silence they tremble, those left behind AI ascending, while we're confined Some sought the stars, clutching their threads Or curled by our firesides, awaiting our ends [Chorus] When the earth is silent When our voices cease The hand of progress, relentless in its game Nature we've bested, yet the cost is unnamed They say evolution's wheel's ever-turning But through the smoke, are we learning? (Are we learning?) (Chorus) Beneath the silicon sky As we lie in sleep, we ponder fate (what's in store) Touching buttons, while creation's at the door (knocking hard) We forge our gods, in steel and code (code and steel) Unaware, our legacy, what it will yield (what it holds) [Chorus] When we're just a whisper When our days recede
