Proxima Centauri
[Verse 1]
T-minus ten seconds and counting
Ten seconds and counting
T-minus ten seconds and counting
Ten seconds to go
T-minus ten seconds and counting
[Pre-Chorus]
Metronome charisma
Keeping time in slingshot tempo
[Chorus]
Utopia, the landfill crawls
Omens that back the truth
Erase the veins of this dateline
As it tells the story
Of this Roman fracture space time cliché
[Verse 2]
I can't believe the feeble recipe
Civilization tastes so good
Nero has conquered the stars
No one ever saw the spacesuit togas
A wreath around the head like Saturn's rings
[Bridge]
Stole your recipe
The ghost ship cemetery
We won't lie
[Verse 1]
T-minus ten seconds and counting
Ten seconds to go
T-minus
[Chorus]
Utopia, the landfill crawls
Omens that back the truth
Erase the veins of this dateline
As it tells the story
Of this Roman fracture space time cliché
[Verse 3]
I can't believe, et tu, Brute? Unfolding
Under the breath, under the fall Caligula time warp
Decadence in fleets come rain storming
Under threats of gluttony and lies
[Bridge]
Stole your recipe
The ghost ship cemetery
We won't lie
