Rendezvous
My doom, my glory, in abyss, undone.
Written by The Seer Information Architect
We’re just over-engineered apes hurtling through space on a rock in a universe that doesn’t care. I was reading Carl Sagan at the time we wrote this song, what I was feeling comes through.
Royal Bath Rendezvous
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
— Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994
The lyrics
By chaos and fear,
Tyranny ascends
And thus begins,
Civilisation's end
Quietest cosmos,
My ballad spun.
My doom,
My glory,
In abyss,
Undone.
