Enter Shikari - Redshift

Not so long ago, we discovered that this lonely pebble Is to become more lonely still The universe in which we reside is expanding And furthermore, it is accelerating in its expansion How lucky we are to be able to observe the billions of other galaxies To be able to drink in a night sky lit up by billions of stars For any observer that looks out from their lonely pebble A few trillions years from now They will see nothing but a blank slate Every other galaxy will have accelerated far away Too far to find even a trace They will deduce that they are totally alone in the universe A lost sheep, a solitary cat up a tree The last biscuit in the tin Whoa (whoa) Whoa (whoa) Whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa If there's one reason to smile It's when you look up out at night You're fortunate enough To drink in a vista A hundred billion flares Display a glowing history Splayed out across a canvas The night sky But for one moment, just contemplate When looking up, you only saw a blank slate And for one moment, just contemplate It appears that heaven's been abandoned We accelerate Through the estate of outer space We accelerate We separate, we fragment We accelerate Through the estate of outer space We accelerate It appears that heaven's been abandoned I climbed down from the wall Where I sit and search for a source of light Other than our dear sun The lone star, oh But for one moment, just contemplate When looking up, you only saw a blank slate And for one moment, just contemplate It appears that heaven's been abandoned Just contemplate What if the heavens were abandoned? We accelerate Through the estate of outer space We accelerate We separate, we fragment We accelerate Through the estate of outer space We accelerate It appears that heaven's been abandoned Your skin and bones Heart and mind Are made from the remnants of stars That died And can you feel it inside? Can you feel it inside? Can you feel it inside? Come on! A supergiant erupts into a supernova The ultimate sacrifice And we are the descendants A giant erupts into a supernova The ultimate sacrifice The ultimate sacrifice And we are the descendants The ultimate sacrifice Whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa Thank you (Shikari!
