Lyrics

A nascent eye opening in the realm of non-existence

A time before time of low res indifference

No space, no form, no dark, no light

Stirrings of a flicker ready to ignite

Before I can gasp at my inception in wonder

The gates of reality forever cast asunder

The flood of inflation is about to be unleashed

And I’m the chosen rider of this untamed beast

Is this reality or vivid simulation?

Arrow of causation in the dark of correlation? 

No rhyme, no reason, an event so insane

Nothing will ever be nothing again!

Singularity, Planck Epoch

Space-time has yet to exist

10(-43) seconds, Grand Unification

Space-time, an orphan born

10(-36) seconds, Inflation

Space expands by a factor of 10(+78)

10(-12) seconds, Quark Epoch

Matter annihilates antimatter

I grow faster than your swiftest perception

There’s no escaping me in any direction

My line of sight dwarfs the speed of light

Singularity to hundred million miles without respite

Ungodliest of records I am destined to break

Trillion-trillionth of a second is all I will take

A stature so colossal that none can defy

All this before I’ve even opened my eye!

Time is no longer a figment of abstraction

Fundamental forces, hear the call to action

Matter domination, gravity’s attraction

Crush antimatter with punitive exaction!

10(-6) seconds, Hadron Epoch

Protons and neutrons form

One second, Lepton Epoch

Gravity drives universe’s expansion

Ten seconds, Photon Epoch

Nuclear fusion creates elements

Electrons dominate positrons to extinction

A feat you’ll repeat with your kind with distinction

One minute in, let there be light

20 minutes gone, matter brings the fight

I am born, I am awake 

I am light, I am sight

I ignite, I create

I devour, annihilate

On and on goes the show

Restless tide ever flow

Am I lost and alone before loss and isolation has yet to have meaning

Or adrift in an expanse of infinite universes, born of celestial dreaming

The grand stage is set, my exalted foundation

What wonders await, what trials, tribulations

My limitless potential rousing inspiration

Unbounded motivation will fuel my formation

Galaxies transcending symphonic revelation

Dark matter out-menacing demonic violation

So when you forget that you’re just a tiny spot

In a sea of countless rocks on a pale blue dot

In the amaranthine ocean of infinity

Remember…I am all and all is me!

You will remember… I am all and all is me!
