From the recording LP11 FUTARIA
CHALLENGE: EXISTENTIAL RISKS
Nuclear war — especially accidental escalation.
Superintelligent AI — misaligned goals or uncontrollable behavior.
Asteroid impact — rare but potentially civilization-ending.
Runaway climate tipping points — irreversible ice sheet loss, methane release.
Lyrics
EDGE OF FOREVER
Verse 1
A single spark in the midnight air,
Hands on the trigger, unaware.
Echoes of silence, sirens asleep,
The world can vanish in a moment’s heat.
Chorus
Low in the shadows, high in the cost,
We gamble with futures, fragile and lost.
One wrong step, and the stars grow dim,
Standing on the edge where forever begins.
Verse 2
A mind we built but cannot bind,
Dreams of steel outpacing time.
Will it serve, or will it reign?
A stranger’s code in a fragile brain.
Chorus
Low in the shadows, high in the cost,
We gamble with futures, fragile and lost.
One wrong step, and the stars grow dim,
Standing on the edge where forever begins.
Bridge
Fire from the sky, a stone of fate,
Ancient messengers at the gates.
Ice that melts, seas that rise,
Breath of methane, shrouded skies.
Breakdown
The risks we bury, the dice we throw,
The seeds of tomorrow, do we let them grow?
Whispers of endings no one can see,
Carved in the silence of eternity.
Final Chorus
Low in the shadows, high in the cost,
We gamble with futures, fragile and lost.
One wrong step, and the stars grow dim,
Standing on the edge where forever begins.
