Lyrics
[Chorus] I can see everything I can be in the music I can see everything I can be in the music [Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie] Knocking on extinction's door Prisoner of others' war I see sullied, toxic seas Poisoned soil and felled trees Once paradise, now wasteland Shadow on the moon expands Set tries chaos, but too late To unseal our future's fate Yeah [Refrain] Ex—tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction [Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie] Era of rapid decline Become naught but dust of time Rain of sorrow from dread clouds Chang’e’s tears have all dried out Jesus left us all alone Castles crumble with a groan Had a chance but let it slip Into heavens, tempest rips Woo! [Chorus] I can see everything I can be in the music (—tinction, extinction, extinction) (—tinction, extinction, extinction) I can see everything I can be in the music [Verse 3: Ambrose Kenny-Smith] The archer drops their empty quiver Peacefully drowning in empty river Slip into the vast astral abyss And you can give space one last wish [Bridge: Stu Mackenzie] You’re a baby being born See the cable being torn Gravity-less asteroid Zooming out into the void Yeah [Refrain] Ex—tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, extinction [Chorus] I can see everything I can be in the music I can see everything I can be in the music [Verse 4: Ambrose Kenny-Smith] Magenta beckons like a lighthouse Hypnotised and pulled into a pulsar Music of the spheres calls me to it The last thought I think: "But, am I human?" [Chorus] I can see everything I can be in the music (—tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction) I can see everything I can be in the music (—tinction, extinction, ex— extinction —tinction, extinction, ex— extinction)
