From the recording Twenty One
Lyrics
THE GREAT CIVILIZATION
Darkness fading stealing its way through the land
Leafs were shaking as the Devil came down to demand
Tell the moon not to let the night go
All that was taken, and all that was given
Old tricks still work and you doubt as you know
His Majesty in light, we won’t be forgiven
Someday all over our fields lays a vail
Our terrible fate
All of light died, even our neon Gods
The ones we used to create
Billions of years we were looking for you
Tiny meagre lifes falling out of the blue
There’s nothing we could do
And we wait out the darkness
Wait in the dark for the end of all life
Greedy eyes staring, the story of hunters and prey
No heat no snary Mary, all the matter has vanished to the vacuum
Thousands of years travelling through generations
Looking for a new home somewhere in the space
The last of the great civilizations
They all begged for the light and for the heat
Someday all over our fields lays a vail
Our terrible fate
All of light died, even our neon Gods
The ones we used to create
Billions of years we were looking for you
Tiny meagre lifes falling out of the blue
There’s nothing we could do
And we wait out the darkness
Wait in the dark for the end of all life
Nearby a black hole, the great civilization found a new home
They wanted this tiny chunk of energy
That’s hidden in the heart of this master of gravity
Event horizon, and anyone would know
There’s no place left in this cosmos to go
They all got so tired from keeping it from dying
So tired that the last ones didn’t even start trying
