The Great Filter Lyrics

Forget the prospect of reparations
Reach to the sky and see
This planet is not built for all of us
Besides, the stars are lookin' mighty fine

Visualize, or fantasize, the prize
Through all the lies, the stars are beaming in our eyes
You know you want it
Just a taste, come with me

Come with me and start a new life
I'm gonna take you by my side
It's best you buckle up because it's gonna be a bumpy ride

See the stars, now will you understand?
We need a backup plan
Forget the life you'll leave behind
Our grand design

Abandon any semblance of progress
Forfeit all hope
Leave this perfect planet behind
Forlorn, and left to die

We've looked so far, for so so long
In search for something

Among the stars, we're too far gone
Yet we've found nothing

We've left our home, we're so alone
Is anybody out there?

Where do we go? We're losing hope
Is anybody listening?

Despite your perseverance, the seal of the great filter cannot be surpassed

We'll leave all of our hopes and dreams behind
There's nothing left, is it such a crime?
How can we hold onto hope when progress is so slow?

This place you leave behind, careless as can be
A life cut short and wasted, sealing our demise

Overwhelmed with fear and anxiety
Our time has run short but the stars are in your eyes

This once perfect world, now forlorn and left to die
Disparity
Pleading but you turn your back again

For the last time
The fire in you've devised, lit ablaze
Fleeting, now that we've gone too far

We've looked so far, for so so long
In search for something

Among the stars, we're too far gone
Yet we've found nothing

We've left our home, we're so alone
Is anybody out there?

Where do we go? We're losing hope
Is anybody listening?

Forget the prospect of reparations
It's too late, can't you see?
Your greed will cost the lives of all of us
It's time to open up your eyes

Tell me what do you see?
Extermination of humanity?
We've gone too far
I'm afraid that it's too late
