Disguised Extinction Lyrics


Here I am, barely any daylight

Only a tiny fireplace

Reading my memoirs,

nothing else to think about

exciting start for new millennium

this project can really change the world

and I'm honoured to be part of it

We've dreamt, we've played

With cannibal smiles

For over, and over

Our luminous progress

Was just disguised extinction

Power and profits

Look at us now

Crawling

So many winters

Passed through my glass

Retired in the woods

Awaiting our time

We had incredible plans

Teaching machines

Who could have guessed?

We forgot how to learn

Since then we grew atrophied beings,

Ready to go

To be forgotten

Cleverly sinking

We've dreamt, we've played

With cannibal smiles

For over, and over

Our luminous progress

Was just disguised extinction

Power and profits

Look at us now

Crawling

We dug our own grave

A talented mind

Science in use

They see me as a bride

Surely good news

A look in the mirror

Shining smile

I'm saving the world

For my human kind

A look in the mirror

I’m saving the world

For my human kind

We've dreamt, we've played

With cannibal smiles

Our luminous progress

Was just disguised extinction

Power and profits

Look at us now

Crawling
