[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
[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
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
[Verse 4: 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 5: 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
I can see everything
I can be in the music
