A billion years have passed the elements have spread<br/> Creating space and time the silence lies ahead<br/> The dusk was left behind expansion sets the way<br/> And while assembling forms are giant cosmic waves<br/> <br/> Now I watch the universe<br/> The proto stars are given birth<br/> Fiery clouds will start to shine<br/> In cosmic inner fight<br/> The only hope for life<br/> <br/> What you see<br/> You can’t believe<br/> Stellar phase is here<br/> <br/> And settling the free space the galaxy clusters<br/> Become islands of light beams of the universe<br/> I reach out with my soul and feel the victory<br/> And celebrate the day of future legacy<br/> <br/> Now I watch the universe<br/> The proto stars are given birth<br/> Fiery clouds will start to shine<br/> In cosmic inner fight<br/> The only hope for life<br/> <br/> What you see<br/> You can’t believe<br/> Stellar phase is here<br/> <br/> As I drift through this place<br/> On towards the depths of space<br/> Without chains or boundaries I roam<br/> <br/> What you see<br/> You can’t believe<br/> Stellar phase is here

In the deep field where a star embryo burns<br/> A myriad of interstellar dust converge<br/> The certainty of life is what I'm looking for<br/> But I have to face it just to be sure<br/> <br/> Pulled by the gravity they shall not resist<br/> The surrounding haze is called accretion disc<br/> <br/> And the primary blocks remnants of the storm<br/> May converge to create a world of light<br/> <br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> Life's born and for that life I search<br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> <br/> All the beauty and the perfection that I see<br/> The infinity of stars the company I need<br/> I'm the watcher sentinel of space and time<br/> There are hidden realities for me to find<br/> <br/> Near a star in the main sequence<br/> An old planet called Earth is ruled by violence<br/> <br/> And they harm themselves make only the worst<br/> Don’t realize they're about to burst<br/> <br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> Life's born and for that life I search<br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> <br/> And they harm themselves make only the worst<br/> Don’t realize they're about to burst<br/> <br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe<br/> Life's gone and for new life I search<br/> I'm lost in the depths of universe

There's a small place<br/> Where theory fits no more<br/> What lies beyond<br/> That's something no one knows<br/> <br/> So I reach out to the highs<br/> And prepare to take the gap<br/> <br/> The strengths of tide<br/> Proceed their mortal coil<br/> The time slows down<br/> Next to the core I roam<br/> <br/> There's a black point just ahead<br/> With a hunger that can't be fed<br/> <br/> Near the portal there's a gap in time and space<br/> Where the future and the past collide<br/> Through a dark event horizon I have felt<br/> And the outer limits I defy<br/> Reach beyond the line<br/> <br/> There's a small place<br/> Where nothing can survive<br/> There's nothing safe<br/> Close to the strength of tide<br/> <br/> Slipping through the narrow shaft<br/> Is this real will I regret?<br/> <br/> Near the portal there's a gap in time and space<br/> Where the future and the past collide<br/> Through a dark event horizon I have felt<br/> And the outer limits I defy<br/> Reach beyond the line<br/> <br/> I'm burning up inside with reality<br/> While darkness spreads around me like disease<br/> Beyond anything known<br/> A secret carved in stone<br/> The laws of universe (are) revealed to me<br/> <br/> Where the future and the past collide<br/> Through a dark event horizon I have felt<br/> And the outer limits I defy<br/> Reach beyond the line

I set the candles alight For I have chosen the night The powers of the unknown That sparks and shines All emotions set free The shadows can see The forces of darkness Dwells in me Meditation! Nightsky! Above and below Oh can't you see The creatures of the unknown speaks to me Oh can't you fell The unknown, the red eyes and the beast I touch the formless night As it devours all light It sweaps across the darkness With blazing might The astral plane It's powers shall reign As the forces of darkness Is unchained Meditation! Nightsky! Above and below Oh can't you see The creatures of the unknown speaks to me Oh can't you fell The unknown, the red eyes and the beast I see faces Forming in the night They give me knowledge They take me to hell Beyond! Oh can't you see The creatures of the unknown Oh can't you see The creatures of the unknown speaks to me Oh can't you fell The unknown, the red eyes and the beast

Expanding wide a golden age arises<br/> Throughout millennia of peace and harmony<br/> And worlds of light are struck by fear<br/> Another generation's drawing near<br/> <br/> Tears for the unknown worlds that lie beyond<br/> Are condemned to destruction and despair<br/> And countless stars that live and die<br/> Throughout the universe they leave their scars<br/> <br/> Through an empire of eternities<br/> Time fades away<br/> Follow its course<br/> Through an empire of eternities<br/> The golden age<br/> <br/> A billion years from now I'll still be here<br/> Watching over everything until it disappears<br/> No matter how much this realm may last<br/> I'll be the witness of its final steps<br/> <br/> The time is set with no regret<br/> I wonder through the darkest depths<br/> The sands of time they leave their marks<br/> What seems to be infinite also dies<br/> <br/> Through an empire of eternities<br/> Time fades away<br/> Follow its course<br/> Through an empire of eternities<br/> The golden age

White dwarfs and spinning pulsars spread across the space<br/> I prevail with memories of chaos and disgrace<br/> The gravity is fading the hierarchy is over<br/> Scattered galaxies of darkness fall under disorder<br/> <br/> A feeling of great loss<br/> But it cannot be stopped<br/> <br/> Entropy's arising<br/> Driving me insane<br/> The universe is slowly dying<br/> I carry the burden<br/> Heavy and unfair<br/> Witness of a tragic end<br/> <br/> Final wastes of heat that fade, absorption ending days<br/> The temperature is lower than ever; the light has gone astray<br/> A final question lies unanswered "did it had to be this way?"<br/> In this moment there's no order, only apathy<br/> <br/> A feeling of great loss<br/> But it cannot be stopped<br/> <br/> Entropy's arising<br/> Driving me insane<br/> The universe is slowly dying<br/> I carry the burden<br/> Heavy and unfair<br/> Witness of a tragic end<br/> <br/> Entropy's arising<br/> Driving me insane<br/> The universe is slowly dying<br/> I carry the burden<br/> Heavy and unfair<br/> Witness of a tragic end
