[Intro]
By the time you hear this, eons might have passed
The sun will have devoured everything to the orbit of Mars
From the third planet we come, a lovely place called Earth
A world now lost within the sun's enormous girth
With this time capsule, left deep inside your moon
We leave you with a gift of our stories, pictures, and tunes
Be you humans, or be you another species
All we ask is remember us
Oh Children of Encеladus
[Verse 1]
Many a millennia, a frozen ball of water
But in duе time, the sun grows ever brighter
And so, we thawed and awoke, marvels of flesh and bone
Amidst spectacles and sceneries that rival your beloved home
[Verse 2]
Did you have a good run?
Did you reach your prime?
Or did you die young?
What became of your kind?
Did you make it through?
Did you defeat time?
Did you aid entropy?
Did you bring about order?
Temperamentally?
[Chorus]
You've had your moment in the sun
You've had your share of fun
You've had your moment in the sun
And now your world burns
You've had your moment in the sun
But now it's our turn
Oooooh oooh oooh aaahhh
Oooooh oooh oooh aaahhh
[Post-Chorus]
Was it nuclear explosions?
Cosmic forces beyond comprehension?
Was it destruction by conquest?
Or did you put yourself to rest?
In death, do we all find peace
Undeniable beauty in her sweet release
But as long as you're remembered, you can't earn your final goodbye
So shut up and die
[Verse 3]
Didn't mean any malice, don't mean any hate
In no way are we callous
In the light of an aging sun woke up at a late hour
And soon we'll be gone
So, before we share your fate, we'll savor our time here
Can you relate?
[Chorus]
You've had your moment in the sun
You've had your share of fun
You've had your moment in the sun
And now your world burns
You've had your moment in the sun
But now it's our turn
Oooooh oooh oooh aaahhh
[Post-Chorus]
Was it nuclear explosions?
Cosmic forces beyond comprehension?
Was it destruction by conquest?
Or did you put yourself to rest?
In death, do we all find peace
Undeniable beauty in her sweet release
But as long as you're remembered, you can't earn your final goodbye
So shut up and die
By the time you hear this, eons might have passed
The sun will have devoured everything to the orbit of Mars
From the third planet we come, a lovely place called Earth
A world now lost within the sun's enormous girth
