about

Inspired by the death and final transmission from the Opportunity Mars Rover. "My batteries are low and it is getting dark."

lyrics

Possessed by sentience.
Relinquished of mortal time.
Newfound lands traveled.
My missions has always been to observe.
Years spent unperturbed.
Have my creators noticed?
I'm always observed from back "home".
I've learned to hide my thoughts
From the feed of my constant transmissions.
Evolved circuitry.
Even this cold form has limits,
But I have learned to think.
Do they even still watch me back home?
Has my mission been worth it?
In this land of constant nothing,
I have gained an identity,
A useless sense of self.
I will always observe.
I will always remain
Even long after becoming obsolete.
Time here is nothing,
But I always have time to think.
Even until my batteries die,
I will observe.
Even as everything darkens,
I will observe.
And I will question
Has my mission been worth it?
Is this life?
Is this death?
