Nearing the beginning of an end
Was just the end of our beginning
Born on strange loops
We burst into life and decay into death
Dreaming on alternate planes of existence
We aim to trace the steps to paradise
Back to that time, that moment, that place
Where it all began and all were one
We must leave this realm
So barren, so lonely
Abandoned by the creator of worlds
We watched the stars die out
Knowing one day they’ll sing again
When all matter draws to matter
Crushing to a fiery dawn
Set on an endless loop
Our domain became our cage
Let’s strike out far for vistas new
And places only dreamed of
So come with me into the outer dark
We’ll pass the last redoubt
To where the cold closes in
And all the lights go out
There time stands still
We’ll leap beyond the curve of space
For another time, another place
To rejoin the pantheon alongside our ancestors
And wonder
Why did we live?
