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
