Lyrics
Dark Ages III: Emergence
Album: Who Will Live To Tell The Tale
Gravitational collapse and dark matter’s acceleration
Empty space and ordinary matter’s polarisation
Hear the interstellar soundtrack of relic radiation
Structure and form emerges on the deathwatch of recombination
(In space and time)
Mysterious behemoths that devour stars day and night
Deep infinite chasms with no bottoms or bounds in sight
Monstrous black hearts of galaxies, omens of eternal fright
Illuminated by quasars, dual sabers of infinite light
By the end of one aeon
Galaxies will start to merge
Some will not escape the purge
Cosmic renaissance on the verge
The age of light will soon descend
The black will bow and not transcend
You won’t fear the dark again
Until you reach the end
Pillars of creation in the Eagle Nebula
Essence of first element, cradle of new stars
Five light-years wide, what secret does it hide
Only blood red eyes, can see the stars inside
Stellar glow illuminates the pillars from above
Feeding on the souls of newborn stars breathing their last
Perhaps it’s just a hologram of a champion of the past
Vanquished by the might of a supernova’s blast
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust… gone, erased, dead, undone
A cautionary herald to the birth of our patriarch the Sun
A new age has begun
