The Iridium Layer Songtext
von Derelict

Evolution births our conscious thought, and seeks to fix in time
The twisting currents of the cosmos in the human mind

Blueprints of death
Designs of demise
Left here to attest
A layer of iridium
Fossilized message
To be heard or ignored
Condition of frailty
Destined to recur

The forces that support life on this fragile rock
Are in constant motion


Forfeit, all life
See the fire in the sky
Man made, God sent
The consequences are the same
Denial of hard facts
Delays preparation
Feasting with fools
In drunk futility

Experimenting, childlike, high on our creations
Wearing the crosshairs, we await retaliation
Divine
A gift received, squandered
Deafened ears go numb
Shirking paths, we wander upon iridium

Embracing savageness, we conquer
Seeking sacrifice
Praying to ancient Gods, alone
We watch the sky

Blueprints of death
Designs of demise
Left here to attest
A layer of iridium
Fossilized message
To be heard or ignored
Condition of frailty
Destined to recur
