It is later. The NBM Bucketship has become un-teathered, its sail is extended and it is drifting outward on the ever-intensifying solar wind. Earth is in the process of being consumed as foretold by the Coyote on Zero Day. Destination unknown.
lyrics
Promethium
I’m sick of these unbroken days
On this unmoving craft
With its unchanging view
Staring at the crow’s nest numbers
Waiting for the buzz
That pitchblende really knows how to hide
Black bubbles of potentiality
The Coyote went way down deep inside
And came back with fire
We don’t find much
But it’s enough to keep us going where we’re going
Nobody knows
Far away sun fill our sails
With your flames as you digest
Our former home
I was at my post on that zero day
The day when Promethium came down in the rain
And it destroyed us and it saved us
Shook us, pointed the direction and lit the way
