I saw the blossoming of life

As it rose through water and thunder

The struggle for survival

Is a burden and a gift

And I saw oppression

Dissidence in search of freedom

Through millennia of evolution

We crafted a dreadful illusion

Synthetic reality and life so toxic

Welcome to the Age of Plastic

I witnessed the changes

The decay and rebirth

I have crossed through the ages

Through an infinite void

And I saw injustice

more often than not

Bravery

in the face of evil

Through millennia of evolution

We crafted a dreadful illusion

Synthetic reality and life so toxic

Welcome to the Age of Plastic

Elements divided and then realigned

The lives of people in design

Through centuries of turmoil

As relics of our ventures they remain
