Now or Never
Awakening Humanity: A Call to Action in Namnambulu's 'Now or Never'
Lyrics
As we have wandered thousand years
Reflecting on a journey spanning a thousand years
Through centuries of blood and pain
Navigating through historical periods marked by violence and suffering
I don't believe that god can feel
Expressing skepticism about a god's awareness of human existence
Our mere existence
Doubting divine attention to our mere being
Technology is who we serve
Emphasizing our allegiance to technology
As we kill by remote control
Describing detachment in causing harm through remote means
We do not see and do not feel
Not acknowledging or empathizing with the consequences of our actions
Disaster is coming
Forewarning the impending arrival of disaster
It is time to know that it's now or never
Highlighting the urgency of the present moment
There will never be another chance
Stressing the uniqueness of the current opportunity
What is wrong in doing things together
Questioning the negative perception of collaboration
If you try to take another glance
Suggesting a reconsideration of judgments through a different perspective
Now that you've been tryin' so hard to get there
Acknowledging the effort invested in reaching a goal
It would be a shame to just let go
Discouraging a premature abandonment of efforts
Nothing's gonna happen if you just stare
Emphasizing that inaction leads to no outcomes
Wouldn't it be hard to never know
Pondering the difficulty of living without knowing
Is there no way to intervene
Questioning the possibility of influencing authority or beliefs
To change belief of those who rule
Contemplating the necessity of confronting the risk of self-destruction
Or do we really have to face
Raising the question of divine intervention in human affairs
Our self-extinction
Addressing the potential threat of human extinction
If he has ever been above
Speculating on the apparent absence or indifference of a higher power
Then he must truly be asleep
Suggesting a dormant or unresponsive deity
Or we must pray for our souls
Contemplating the need to seek forgiveness for collective sins
That he is forgiving.
Expressing a hope for divine mercy
