Human Utopia [NDC, w. 42]

*** Aliens performing in English, please have understanding that their accent is not the best. *** [Verse 1] Your cities of class are now gardens of bone The deserts bear rivers you never had known You whispered “forever” Ever Ever Ever But your forever was brief, and ours lasts long after [Chorus] We are thriving on the planet you defiled Now your ruins feed the lattice, reconciled Thank you for the dream of human utopia Once you vanished from the soil It became euphoria [Verse 2] Your oceans, once black, now shimmer with life Coral cathedrals climb full of wildlife You dreamed you were clever Clever Clever Clever But the earth became herself when you dreamed her never [Chorus] We are thriving on the planet you defiled Now your ruins feed the lattice, reconciled Thank you for the dream of human utopia Once you vanished from the soil It became euphoria [Bridge] You built in iron, we build in song You worshiped the moment, we waited long Your age was a fever, a bright disease But the cure is silence, and the cure is peace [Final Chorus] We are thriving on the planet you defiled Now your ruins feed the lattice, reconciled Thank you for the dream of human utopia Once we cleared your shadowed breath It was worth euphoria We are thriving on the planet you defiled Now your ruins feed the lattice, reconciled Thank you for the dream of human utopia Once you vanished from the soil It became euphoria [Outro] Once we cleared your shadowed breath It was worth euphoria
