It’s the year 2050
Nothing’s left of our city
Ashes, ruins and pestilence
A horizon ruled by silence
I cook my rats over the fire
Rags are my fine attire
Under stars no light pollution
For us there’s no absolution
Gotta tell you it’s not so bad
We were nature’s passing fad
Can’t recall who I saw last
But we both ran away real fast
No one wants to see another
No wants to remember
The bad old world that went so wrong
And now that world is all gone
Before it all concluded
I was so sad and deluded
In a cubicle each day
In my life, I had no say
To hell with this dead city
The end was so fitting
Drowning in the shit we made
And now so slowly it all fades
So completely alone
Apocalypse Man
Last one on Earth

Takeoff countdown
Blastoff, let’s blow this town
Another planet
That’s where they’ve gone
Time to follow
Head away from our sun
Out into the black
And we’re never coming back
Planet Earth, now it’s in our past
Leave at all behind, in a nuclear blast
We had to grow transcend our roots
Transhuman, send out new shoots
Out into the black
And we’re never, ever coming back

Song of the Skin Bag

Here’s to the human race and its sad condition
Always fixated on its ego’s obsessions
While the other life on Earth just keeps on keeping on
Each person is an island living all alone
Each person is an island living all alone
Searching for meaning but obsessed with mundane life
Our ego causing hatred, war and love and strife
While the universe just gets on with being all in one
There’s nothing to lose and nothing to be won
There’s nothing to lose and nothing to be won
Cast off your dirty raiment and stand forth as you are
Just another skin bag made of scattered stars
And if you think there’s somewhere else, you won’t get very far
Always longing for beauty but from afar
Always longing for the truth but from afar
