Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:20,320
[Verse 1]
Signal locked, steady now it seems
A title sought for fading dreams

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,120
“Hubris” whispers, a fitting name
For echoes lost in cosmic flame

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,720
[Chorus]
Forty days of labor flown
Across the void, to K’th'lmei shown

5
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:41,520
Data packets, lifetimes bound
A silent witness, without a sound

6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:52,000
[Break]
[instrumental]

7
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,560
[Verse 2]
The Directorate will soon receive
This chronicle of what they grieve

8
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Terra's final hours distilled and spun
A tapestry of battles lost and won

9
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,320
I chose my words with careful hand
To show the Qhennthyk, understand

10
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,680
Beyond the trade, beyond the guise
A chilling truth behind their eyes

11
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,680
[Bridge]
Faces flicker in the fading light
Fear and fury burning ever bright

12
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,400
The blinding flash, a sudden end
A world consumed, no chance to mend

13
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:41,360
I felt it then, a primal scream
Lost in data, a fractured dream

14
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:49,040
Raw emotion, surging deep
Secrets that my mind will keep

15
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,840
[Chorus]
Forty days of labor flown
Across the void, to K’th'lmei shown

16
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Data packets, lifetimes bound
A silent witness, without a sound

17
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:09,200
[Verse 3]
Hope’s fragile flame, extinguished cold
A story whispered, never told

18
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:15,920
A poignant absence, sharp and clear
For lives I knew, yet held so dear

19
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,720
The data-scribe confirms the deed
“Transmission complete,” a solemn creed

20
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,280
Exhaustion washes over me
This burden now, for all to see

21
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,000
[Outro]
Dust of Terra on my slate remains
A tangible echo, through cosmic lanes

22
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,560
Rest I need, for body and soul
For currents shifting, taking hold

23
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:49,440
Empathy’s whisper, soft and low
As silent stars above me glow.
