Lyrics

At the end of their existence
They didn’t make the distance
‘Cause they offered no resistance
Just lying there
All systems down

They set the course of their destruction
Through decades of inaction
And political protraction
In denial
Year after year

And we sat and watched it all
Like dominoes
Played out in shades of blue
Illuminated by the sun
On a lifeless backdrop that goes
On and on and on.

When the Larsen cracked and slipped
The equilibrium had tipped
It was the end of everything
Nothing left to break their fall
They’d cut it down and burnt it all
It was the end of everything
We are alone
Again

We’re beautiful, intelligent
Fixated on the past
A consequence of what we had become
Beautiful and dangerous
Addicted and in love with you

We’re beautiful, intelligent
Fixated on the past
A consequence of what we had become
Beautiful and dangerous
Addicted and in love with you

And we sat and watched it all
Like dominoes
Played out in shades of blue
Illuminated by the sun
On a lifeless backdrop that goes
On and on and on.

When the Larsen cracked and slipped
The equilibrium had tipped
It was the end of everything
Nothing left to break their fall
They’d cut it down and burnt it all
It was the end of everything
We are alone
Again
