I wrote The Bitter End as an extension of my love for science fiction. The song is directly influenced by Orson Scott Card's Ender Saga and part of a story line with Suspicion Will Destroy Us.

Lyrics
Today the world ends
I hope you didn't have plans
If so you might cancel them
That's only polite
For we must make our escape
Millions and millions of miles away
I don't think I'll miss this place anyway
You've met me at the bitter end
And I could not image things to be better
You see this is where the world ends
Our AI has gone rampant
Sealed our only entrance
Says our death is immanent
But what do they know?
But everything is floating
The climate control is broken
Our lifeboats are exploding
We could be screwed
You've met me at the bitter end
And I could not image things to be better
You see this is where the world ends
We should have seen by the look in their eyes
We could have saved so much time, so much life
You've met me at the bitter end
And I could not image things to be better
You see this is where the world ends
