Rust from Oxide by Moose-Mouse

rot, decay, and oxidation
decomposing, degradation
all structures fall gradually
and new things rise from the debris

everything fails
newness prevails
in the grand scale
we’re just a detail

ashes raised and back to dust
encroaching entropy and rust
our footprints all are washed away
and slowly, life goes on again

time will even rearrange
the longest hydrocarbon chains
the eons passed, the traces wiped
the biosphere reborn, in time

everything fails
newness prevails
in the grand scale
we’re just a detail

there’s been events as this before
and life’s always come back for more
inevitably when we’re gone
then everything will carry on
