Le Cygne - 张适然&郑欣欣

[00:06.94]She looked up into the dark sky
[00:12.94]The orb was hanging there, delicate and innocent
[00:19.68]She could see the blue of the ocean contrasting with
[00:24.44]The green of the land that she grew up on
[00:30.44]Deep in the green, she could also see specks of grey
[00:36.44]It wasn’t clear if they were houses or ruble
[00:39.94]But, she thought, it doesn’t matter; the two will soon be the same anyways.
[00:53.53]It has been on all news and media platforms for as long as she can remember.
[00:59.02]An explosion. A quick end.
[01:04.77]She has spent her entire life on researching this event, but no one listens.
[01:10.53]A price to pay. A fitting end.
[01:16.270004]She remembers that night when she realized
[01:22.270004]There wasn’t any way humans can avoid catastrophe.
[01:28.270004]She remembers that night when she realized
[01:34.270004]No one believed her findings and research.
[01:40.770004]She looks down to the interstellar underneath her feet
[01:46.53]The Milky Way was glimmering, blinding, dazzling
[01:53.270004]She knew that all the stars were of different sizes, colors
[01:58.2]But they all looked identical to her.
[02:04.45]A red glaze entered her eyes,
[02:07.2]Growing brighter until it covered the stars were drowned out by the explosion
[02:12.95]She doesn’t even need to look to know that the blue orb was no more.
[02:16.7]She knew she still had a few seconds until the heat of the explosion would reach her spacecraft
[02:22.95]There wasn’t a way to survive this. She had done the calculations, but no one believed her.
[02:30.45]Closing her eyes, she waited for her time to join the stars.
