Burn for a thousand eons

Shot from exploding fire

Ride through a lifeless vacuum

Born at the dawn of time



Union with nature

Follow random paths

Rising from chaos

Becoming part of what we see



[Lead: Dan]



Struggle, focus, mutate and grow

Project, predict

Words connecting separate minds

Isolation lost

On the shoulders of the past

Concepts of today



From dust to life, unfolding mind

Consciousness, questioning why

A quantum world, outside the mind

Contemplate, our demise



Race through a thousand light years

Ripped from a white hot sun

Facing the countless enemies

Surviving endless storms

Rise from the yielding ice age

Chipping the stones away

Peer into every corner

Probing the world within



Mindless reflexes

Flooding the world

Compassion to survive

The effective response-emotion



[Lead: Dan]



Instincts, dying, a fragile form

Helpless, progress

Pressing on uninfluenced

Persistence is life

Unsubstantial differences

Unjust is pride



[Chorus]



[Leads: Dan, Perry, Dan, Perry]



Burn for a thousand eons

Shot from exploding fire

Ride through a lifeless vacuum

Born at the dawn of time



Ruthless intelligence

Standing alone

Universal truth

At the top how long?



[Chorus]
