From the wasteland
From the embers of an old world
new life rises

The cycle restarted
Life begins anew
Radioactive oceans once more bear fruit
A billion years of silence broken
Terra Firma once again populated
Predatorial insticts awoken
Fight or flight till death

The second time civilization got it right
The last intelligence running, fast, out of time
The Terran Empire in perpetual peace
right up 'til the moment
very existence ceases to be

Solar system on the verge of collapse
All life is doomed, no place left to hide
Only choice left is humane,
planet-wide genocide
Murderous solar winds
soon rip the atmosphere
Oceans defy gravity
Return to Point Zero

Into embers, into dust
and ashes
all must once again
crumble

The second time civilization got it right
The last intelligence running, fast, out of time
The Terran Empire in perpetual peace
right up 'til the moment
very existence ceases to be
