In the year 2525

(dates in c.e.)




In the year 2525
If humans are still alive
If the nanoswarms they can survive they may find...

In the year 3535
Do the megacorps tell you truth, or tell you lies
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the advertising they gave you today

In the year 4545
Empires on the periphery, archailects on the rise
There's not a thing that you can do
to reverse the emerging order of the new

In the year 5555
Mighty archailects rule far and wide
There's no dominion left for hu
Some hyperturing's doing that for you

In the year 6562
version standards and troubles new
Second Ferderation falls and border war
elsewhere luxuries abound even more whoa-oh

In the year 7410
If the Paradigm's a-comin', they'll make it by then
Maybe they'll do a wide sweep and search
every sentient in reach gets uploaded to virch

In the year 8754
Amalgamation advance through femtotech assimilator
Mutated biowars plague the Cygnis sector
Is this the end, or just a new beginning, whoa-oh

In the year 9595
Verifex triggers a cosmic explosion
Tanaka erasure removes all life without emotion
Daharran Advance seek their sacred mass, whoa-oh

Now it's been ten thousand years
Mindkind has cried a quintillion tears
For what e never knew
Is Terragen rule now through?

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525
If humans are is still alive
If the nanoswarms they can survive they may find

In the year 3535... (fade)

Design notes - refers to an earlier version of the timeline, so 2525 c.e. would be 577 to 578 a.t. :-) But rather than change the lyrics to reflect the updates, I felt it best to leave the rhythm of the original
