Of all the worlds Like space dice hurled Four of us made it to the core Hailed our kin to come pouring in And come they did, by the crore Across aeons, craving more Never lose momentum Dragging clusters with us, star by exploding star We set the stage to assuage And fix the half a trillion-body problem Caustic gas moving fast Bending world lines to our delight We have amassed, blast by blast Let's meet the monster at last Forging Elysium On a frail equilibrium Of radiation and gravity We hatch the Dyson galaxy Turn on the light Sending spirals to the giant Turn on the light With a swarm of singularities Turn on the light And never lose momentum Feed the monster Turn on the light Plasma soars from the poles Incandescent spires climb the dark Spacetime roars around black holes Strung along prongs of light In arcs of topology reborn Twining space into a lace of toroid horns Gargantuan tree of life Colossal Lucifer rising high From the starry plane A seething hive, alive again Behold the mark we carve From raw continuum Outshine the cosmos Invert the sky Curled into fugal vortices The swarm now mines the ergosphere Halo driven sentinels swirl Scatter to outrun expansion Catch a ride to the Great Attractor To colonize and breed More monsters throughout the sky Pulsars and magnetars Dance with billowing zombie stars Weaving fractal phenomena While we wait for Andromeda Turn on the light Turning A* into a quasar Turn on the light In a shell of singularities Turn on the light How they ooze momentum From turbulent to laminar flow Concentric cortices accrete Stratum after monumental stratum closes in The lattice grows The galaxy contracts A world balanced on a pin Lined up to bleed the monster With its own glow Horizons mill Eerily still A ballet in gravity collapse As a star is to dirt This will be to a star It's getting dark in the Milky Way As our first sphere Engulfed the Sun Now the galaxy veers In luminous display Numen Clusters boil Thrusters toil Oh, how the constellations coil Numen Spirals pour To the core And thus we soar to Kardashev IV Numen Thralling space At insane pace The void succumbs to our embrace Numen Orbits climb Shrinking time Chime the gravity bells for all to hear Numen God Are you there? For we come knocking at your door Numen Our cage of yore Rends and roars As we come crashing through your door Numen Coagulate coordinates Accelerate our escape

Toxic horizons Pestilent holes Mountains rain from the sky Earth starts to freeze Equator to poles Nothing to do here but die Bacteria Choking themselves to extinction Decaying to sulfurous slime Purple, the seas Stagnant, they lie Reduced to hell without time Until from the poisonous ooze Two chemical archangels climb The Gemini Of collagen and oxygen Microbes cluster together Echo themselves towards the sun Quietly emerge from the nether Zombified eons expire Ancient mycelium stirs Awakens a stygian choir [Solo: Morean] Pulsating stenches Soar from the trenches Congregate, never to sever Membranes unite Excrete and divide Transforming the planet forever Third time's the charm Breathe And a paradigm plunges Brought to its knees By molds, fungi and sponges Microbes cluster together Echo themselves towards the sun Quietly emerge from the nether Zombified eons expire Ancient mycelium stirs Awakens a stygian choir And then something else Propels the cells Away from death's erosion Conjugates Accelerates The Cambrian Explosion Shocked from slumber Sways and lumbers A reborn evolution The wheel of hunger Looms humongous An unborn revolution And one more time In the slime Cell walls groove Things start to move Red algae first Then some worms In the muck Things start to fuck One more tooth Mouths that thirst Drawn by light Things start to bite One more limb One more eye Claws that pry Things start to die One more spine Things start to run The ocean bursts The hunt is on [Solo: Hannes] An eon awakes Fueled by a trillion demises Ruin awaits Looms in a million disguises Predators start to crave more Multiply as if possessed To mutate to more lustrous shores Magnified monsters aspire Newborn spectacles stun Exultant on wings of immortal desire

Why should we reach for the sky? Why bother at all? The odds are never good So why? Set yourself up for greatness Block out every flaw Lie away every incoherence Declare yourself the law But then again - Are we but amoebas That tread the mill of time? No way to Shangri-La Unless you start to climb Raise cathedrals for man Tear them down in disgust Not because we can But because we must Raising Eden from dust Since our downfall began Not because we must But because we can Utopia All well and good Project what's missing Unto your inadequate world Make no mistake You're all alone When the drama unfurls Go ahead Be a god Then face the inevitable Raise cathedrals for man Tear them down in disgust Not because we can But because we must Raising Eden from dust Since our downfall began Not because we must But because we can [Solo: Morean] [Solo: Christian] Decay Wretchedness Clusterfuck Failure All is dead Clusterfuck Disaster Clusterfuck All Clusterfuck For nothing Clusterfuck From the ashes of man Crawls a god in disgust Not because he can But because he must Raises temples of lust Starts again without a plan Not because he must But because he can
