Offworld

Offworld to a place where fortune lies
 Far from this smeared neon glow and rainy nights
 Down here
 Where no answers were to be found
 Driven to escape
 Without avail and against all odds
 A new life awaits you they preached
 Asking where we will be
 When all comes crashing down
 If all lose ends meet, we must not fail
 For with this comes the end
 Swallowing us whole
 We lay dying at the eve of our days
 Beneath dimly lit skies
 Brimming with life
 As your blood ran cold
 And my heart stopped beating
 Now embraced, our mortal remains
 Still we've seen
 Like pyres on the firmament
 These glorious bursts of posthuman transience
 The scent of burning flesh filled our nostrils
 A blissful feeling of victory pulsating within
 It was a call of destiny
 And we answered
 We held the day
 In the palm of our hand
 Once echoing threnodies for the fallen
 Now silenced by time
 I'll tell your fervid heart what it was like to be alive
 Of flashes of light
 Piercing through the darkness
 I'll tell of signs of struggle, now long forgotten
 When memory has become corrupted
 And we're long gone
