[pre-chorus] countdown in the desert night, engines dreaming black and white. if the earth won’t keep us whole, we trade the soil for something close enough. [chorus] humanity is a burning crisis, stretched across a widening exile. red horizon, second chance, rust-colored absolution in a pressure suit’s stance. if the cradle cracked beneath our weight, we call it fate and accelerate. goodbye to blue, hello to scars, we’re betting all our ghosts on mars. [verse 2] there’s a voice with rockets in its veins, silver promises, methane rain. it says survival is a math, a path that leaves the past behind. launch pads bloom like iron flowers, counting down the final hours. grace rewritten into thrust, thunder shaking desert dust. we stream the fire in perfect light, turn the ending into launch-night. hope strapped tight in carbon shells, a history the future tells. [chorus] humanity is a fragile spark, carried outward through the dark. red horizon, narrow seams, terraforming fever dreams. if earth became a cautionary star, we write the sequel on mars. trade oceans wide for domes of glass, teach new soil our shattered past. [bridge] but what do we export besides our skill? our markets, myths, our restless will? will we seed another sphere with the same old atmosphere? is salvation just escape velocity— or just another way to begin? a rocket’s flame can split the sky, it cannot alter what we bring. [break] helmet on. heartbeat loud. red dust rising like a shroud. one small step in borrowed air, earth still burning somewhere there. [final chorus] humanity is not yet done, even as we scar the sun. from cradle cracked to planet far, we carry what we are. if this is ending, let it be— not escape, but continuity. not survivors freed from scars, just the same ghosts, now on mars. [outro] engines fade. the silence starts. two worlds now hold the same old heart.
