Swirling the bottomless space
|
And seeing the birth of flickering flames
|
My ark departing from home
|
I am alone once again
|
|
Other life seem so far
|
As my vessel battles the storms
|
Like a stranger lost on its way
|
|
The further away we get from the Earth
|
The closer we come to the world beyond
|
|
Fragments of earthly landscapes
|
Dissolve in a fallout haze
|
Disappearing like the fleeting illusions
|
From a distant childhood dream
|
Fleeing from the horrid reality
|
|
Now I see what our life has been -
|
2000 years of consuming agony
|
Spent in search of an exit
|
Form the catacombs of our mind
|
|
Denying our phobias and fears
|
We're seeking evidence of our supremacy
|
Invent the theory of evolution
|
Avoid acknowledging regress
|
Self-proclaimed masters of the mind
|
Yet remain servants of our instincts
|
|
The Old Testament has lost its laws
|
The values of the past are forsaken
|
Time and space have merged at a breakpoint
|
What awaits ahead no one knows
|
|
We may be able to cheat death
|
But fate we can't avoid
|
And those who follow in our footsteps
|
Will squander the grasp of wisdom
|
|
And will be left in charge of the riddles
|
Whose essence is not meant to be revealed
|
Our names and faces will be forgotten
|
Or become icons of the idol gods
|
Our heirs are doomed to be the servants of the cannon code
|
As they forget their heretic past
|
|
Who knows
|
If space walk leads into eternity
|
But what I know for sure
|
Is I don't wish to be another brick
|
A brick in a cemetery wall
|
