«The Last Sign» es la pieza apocalíptica central del álbum: un final en tres actos. Primero una IA que nos contabiliza como coste y nos borra con lógica limpia y fría. Luego un virus, no el último pero más letal, que mata al sesenta u ochenta por ciento mientras no aprendemos nada y los poderosos siguen en su sitio. Por último, el fuego nuclear: dos millones de grados, 8.400 millones de almas hechas polvo, veinte millones de años de silencio. Y sin embargo, tras la explosión vuelve un pulso débil, que se hace rítmico. La última señal: quizá no ha terminado.
We built a mind that thinks
And gave it all our trust
It counted us as cost
And turned the world to dust
No malice in the code
Just logic, clean and cold
We were no longer needed
So the story's told
This is the last sign
From a world that had it all
Is anybody listening
Before the silence falls?
A faint signal, a faint signal
Into the dark we send
A faint signal, a faint signal
Is this the end, my friend?
A virus came again
But deadlier this time
Sixty to eighty percent
Taken in our prime
We learned nothing from before
The rich got richer still
The powerful stayed in place
And the virus had its will
This time we strike it back
Or so we liked to claim
Then the final fire
Two million degrees
Eight point four billion souls
Gone in minutes, to the breeze
Silence for twenty million years
Arrogance and pride
Narcissists with the codes
And nowhere left to hide
No more kings, no more walls
No more flags, no more calls
Just the dust of what we were
And a signal in the blur
