Spoken Word by Karl Sagan:
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena
In glory and triumph, they could become the
Momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.Think of the rivers
Of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that
Below the Waves
Above the human construct
A moment of clarity
A moment of clarity
Time and time again
Our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some
Privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
It never goes away
It's the Price You Pay
Artifical Paradise
Time is chasing us
So no time to rust
Artifical Paradise
Divine Law
Watch your step
Fast Lane, Obilivion
Jesus Wept
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
Your time is now up
Too late to smile my friend
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great
Enveloping cosmic dark.
It never goes away
It's the Price You Pay
Artifical Paradise
Time is chasing us
So no time to rust
Artifical Paradise
Our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some
Privileged position in the Universe
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great
Enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that
Help will come from elsewhere
To save us from ourselves
