[Verse 1] Once we dreamed of flying cars and cities in the sky Progress was a ladder we could climb so very high But now the ice is melting and the storms are getting strong The future that we counted on might not last very long [Chorus] Anthropocene, Anthropocene The age when humans changed the scene The horizon's closing in Where do futures now begin? Time itself has bent and curved What tomorrow have we earned? [Verse 2] Every year the heat records are broken once again Species disappearing faster than a ballpoint pen The cultural symptom now becomes material fact Climate change is closing roads we can't take back [Chorus] Anthropocene, Anthropocene The age when humans changed the scene The horizon's closing in Where do futures now begin? Time itself has bent and curved What tomorrow have we earned? [Bridge] But closure isn't endings, it's a call to reimagine New forms of temporal thinking, let the change begin When certain futures foreclose, others might appear We need new ways of seeing through the atmosphere [Verse 3] Geological time scales meet our human plans today The Earth itself is writing what we cannot wash away So how do we envision what comes after what we know? When yesterday's tomorrows simply cannot grow [Final Chorus] Anthropocene, Anthropocene The age when humans changed the scene The horizon's closing in But new futures can begin Time itself must be reimagined What tomorrow will we fashion? [Outro] The loss of future's not the end It's where new stories can transcend Anthropocene, Anthropocene What future will you help us dream?
