Looming Doom

Distant stars, a journey far To Mercury's barren shore Little did we know the horror That awaited us in store Landing on this ashen world Our crew steps out in awe But something's wrong, a presence lurks A beast we never saw In the shadows, it creeps and crawls A thing among us hides Our minds are filled with looming nightmares As trust begins to slide We scan each face for signs of change But all appear the same This soil is tainted, danger looms We're helpless and deranged Oh... forsaken on this rock Don't know who to trust If we were promised heaven Then why are we in hell? This godless endeavor Has left us in the dust No way out of this nightmare We're bound to starve again One by one, we fall like dominoes To this unseen threat Some take their own life in fear Of what they might beget The sky has opened, yet we're trapped In this metallic tomb Sleep and die, that's all we do As we await our doom I watch in apathy as friends Succumb to paranoia Denied one last epiphany Before the void destroys ya The sins you condign haunt us now No chance left to amend This mission's turned as black as any abyss One day we'll all mean nothing Oh... forsaken on this rock Don't know who to trust If we were promised heaven Then why are we in hell? This godless endeavor Has left us in the dust No way out of this nightmare We're bound to starve again If we were promised heaven Then why Are we In hell... ----------- Youtube: www.youtube.com/@SteiCamel Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2JZ25oVb5nRnUuEO6zBIPh?si=bfeRwdQ3RWeYOAuaMbTrpA
