To The Moon And Mars

The Earth's a pyre above us, but it's where we once reaped from the loam

Obscured by the palls, it's now an inferno, where only the robots will roam

They're standing where we once stood, but it's us who bear the livid scars

Humiliated by the evil perfidious, we had to escape to the Moon and Mars

Earth is our paradise lost, as sheet lightning illuminates the charcoal ether

Maybe Hell has always been like this, intelligently designed, AI the reaper

Only time will tell, but our time has elapsed, without scope for us to grieve

Our dire existence now is recycled water and the stale air that we breathe

Now's all we have, because what was programmed can't right our wrongs

And so we'll leave a desert Moon for Mars and hide below Olympus Mons

Nobody knows, if they'll prey and follow, for there are rovers already there

Drilling through the soil, for samples, or maybe they've built their robot lair

Mars was never ours, it's a desolate place from which there's no returning

As we depart The Sea of Tranquility though, we know our world is burning

Razed by righteous robots, but on Mars, is where we'll fake our last stand

Sometime, if our time still persists, they'll find us dead in the Martian sand
