Aurora Borealis - The Only Space Race That Matters lyrics

You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up Your fate is in the hands of something from above Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time Science can only save you, sustain you for a while You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up Live your whole life inspired, soon it will be done There are so many ways in which Earth can meet its end The inevitable end Tectonic plate shifts, apophasis messenger of d**h Overpopulation, volcanic eruptions Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time Science can only save you, sustain you for a while The only hope you have is far, far from this Earth The journey treacherous but much deeper in worth Will there be another Chicxulub, the end comes quick and swift One million near Earth objects orbiting adrift Will disease be carried back from the deepest realms of space Or a gamma ray burst sent to erase your human race Do humans even deserve to live? Where they go, destruction follows with them Ata carini, a supernova with extinction in mind Coronal ma** ejection, legal clouds of gas that leave Earth barren Do humans even deserve to live? Where they go, destruction follows with them Earth's axis shifts, catastrophic climate change The ice age begins History shows every hundred million years, extinctions bestowed Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time Science can only save you, sustain you for a while You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up Your fate is in the hands of something from above These things won't be the Earth's end, it comes more gradual Over myriads of years, and so much more vital The thin blue line that is essential to your world Is slowly crumbling, the atmosphere won't hold The Earth's core is cooling faster than imagined So much faster than they fathomed This in turn exposes you, no more magnetic field Assaulted by the neos, opened up to solar flares The only space race that matters is on To leave this planet will ensure existence Do humans even deserve to live? Where they go, destruction follows with them
