I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

Knocking on extinctions 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 futures fate
Yeah

Extinction. Extinction. Extinction…

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

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

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

You're a baby being born
See the cable being torn
Gravity-less asteroid zooming out into the void
Yeah

Extinction. Extinction. Extinction…

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

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?"

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

[Extended Mix Only]

Flamethrower
Flamethrower
Flame
Throw a flame

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can be in the music

Just like rats into the sky
Fly into the moonless night
Mirage city on the ridge
Beowulf, can you land deadstick?
Pilgrims with burnt offerings
Spacesick for the whole voyage
Metal horses on the flight
Together, transcend this life
Yeah

I can see everything
I can be in the music
I can see everything
I can fly in the music
