lyrics

Verse 1 (0:37 to 1:10)
From the shadow and the string
Give me all the light will bring
Bring me matter and the source
And design your universe

For ambition and for pride
All convention cast aside
Renovating space and time
To improve on the divine

Pre-Chorus One (1:11 to 1:28)
Sworn to the empty stars
And the paths above
Seven open wounds
In the house of heaven

Seven open roads
To define it all
To erase the pain
From the firmament

Chorus One (1:47 to 2:04)
Droplets of solitude condensed from the sun
Infinite reasons refined into one

Verse 2 (2:05 to 2:24)
From the chasm where dwell our hearts
To the peaks where light departs
From the ocean to the ground
To the endless sky unbound

Semi-spoken (2:24 to 2:39)
Forsworn the definition of absolute
Limitless in my absurd urge to ascend
From the last remnants of creation
Afterglow of a newborn universe

Chorus Two (3:13 to 3:30)
Visions of chaos beneath fading stars
Absurd creations, an assembly of scars

Verse Three (3:30 to 3:48)
I saw vanity and grace
Underneath all-seeing gaze
Saw profane rise from profound
Pure intentions, now unwound

Semi-spoken (3:48 to 4:25)
Beseeching the impossible complexity
Of grand cosmic definition
And in the string of strange particles
The everlasting flow is invincible
Coming back to the vision
The ultimate creation with no meaning
No reason, no hope, no understanding
In the end, we are all alone
