Into Oblivion
Journey Beyond Existence: Embracing Oblivion
Lyrics
Zero is half of what exists today
Zero represents a significant reduction in the existing state.
Collecting every breath but save is just decay
Accumulating every breath, but preservation leads to deterioration.
A stock of data is lost eternally
A repository of data is permanently lost.
Useless in chaos the final destiny
Information becomes useless in the midst of chaos, marking the final fate.
Empires rise and cultures fall
Powerful empires and rich cultures experience decline.
Some carved in stone their writings on the wall
Some civilizations engrave their knowledge on enduring surfaces.
What is left to learn when everything's erased?
Questioning what remains to be learned when everything is obliterated.
Into oblivion – no traces of our race
Heading into oblivion, leaving no traces of our existence.
Decrypting – or all information's lost
Deciphering is crucial, as losing all information is imminent.
There is no warning, so keep your fingers crossed
No warnings are given, so relying on luck is the only option.
So much to know, so less to say
An abundance of knowledge, yet limited expression.
A pile of waste and nothing else will stay
Resulting in a heap of waste, with nothing enduring.
Empires rise and cultures fall
Similar to before, empires rise and cultures fall.
Some carved in stone their writings on the wall
Some civilizations immortalize their wisdom on durable surfaces.
What is left to learn when everything's erased?
Contemplating the futility of learning when all is obliterated.
Into oblivion – no traces of our race
Moving into oblivion, erasing all traces of our collective existence.
Empires rise and cultures fall
Reiterating the cycle of empires rising and cultures falling.
Some carved in stone their writings on the wall
Repeated emphasis on civilizations preserving knowledge in stone.
What is left to learn when everything's erased?
Reflecting on the void left when everything is wiped away.
Into oblivion – no traces of our race
Continuing the theme of heading into oblivion, leaving no evidence of our presence.
