about
COMPENDIUM: "Construct the ark and abandon ship."
lyrics
Bio warfare; disease incubation.
Climate change; drought and starvation.
Genocide; the only solution.
That, or begin excavation.
Reduce the population,
Cut consumption,
Escape the pollution,
Mass expedition.
Engineered infrastructure breakdown.
The secret government goes underground.
The earth dies, the population thins,
Construct the ark and abandon ship.
Reduce the population,
Cut consumption,
Escape the pollution,
Mass expedition.
The most eminent in every endeavour,
Slowly but surely disappear.
Families convinced loved ones are living,
As they receive postcards from the missing.
Crodin saw a station: a base on the moon,
A stopover point for passengers and crew.
A one way journey to planetary salvation,
In 1961 they made their destination.
Ballantine observes from Jodrell Bank,
Delivers the evidence, but the tape is blank,
Decode the celebration, reveal all,
As something stirs beneath Martian soil.
