The Delusion

about

Is Mars really a future planet humans will go to as we progressively destroy the amazing planet we currently live on?

lyrics

VERSE 1:
In the crimson glow of Martian sky,
We built a dream, we reached too high,

Escaping Earth, in its dying breath,
But we found in Mars, the same old death.

CHORUS
This red planet is not,
our savior
There’s NO EXIT here,
It’s a madman’s lie.

They keep calling Mars,
Our savior
The truth is harsh,
We are doomed to die.

VERSE 2:
False hope in a barren land,
Where dreams of life, are lifeless rocks and sand.

The walls are closing in, the air runs thin,
Desperation grows from within.

CHORUS REPEAT

BRIDGE (spoken word)
Sartre's vision, it's coming true,
There’s NO EXIT for the chosen few.
