MOUNT OLYMPUS (March 18) —
Hello, you humans, wherever you are
it's tough what you’re going through
but tempus will fugit, it does what it does,
no matter what you do
We gave you humans an excellent shot
We gave you humans an excellent shot
though we could foresee what you’d do
and now whether you're ready or not
it's time to bid adieu
We know how it feels when the future reveals
We know how it feels when the future reveals
you haven’t a ghost of a chance
Nowhere to retreat, accept your defeat
You’ve danced your very last dance
You’ll die out, humans, like Neanderthals
You’ll die out, humans, like Neanderthals
who “ruled” the Earth before you
Each earthly species succumbs in the end
regardless whatever they do
Each earthly species succumbs in the end
even we immortals do
