lyrics

Verse (0:27 – 0:38)
In a place which time forgot
Beneath the cratered crust
An ancient installation
Covered by moon dust

Pre-chorus (0:39 – 0:50)
There it awaits, silent as the night
Its purpose unknown, of its creators not a sight

Chorus (0:51 – 1:14)
A timeless monolith, the sum of all our sorrows
Our past and present smothered in its gaze
In its consternation, false promise of tomorrow
Our futures written in the mirrormaze

Verse (1:15 – 1:26)
Behind reflective surface
A quantum mystery
All answers to our questions
If we only had the key

Pre-chorus (1:26 – 1:38)
There we seek, like children in the fire
What might have been, the object of desire

Chorus (1:39 – 2:02)
A timeless monolith, the sum of all our sorrows
Our past and present smothered in its gaze
In its consternation, false promise of tomorrow
Our futures written in the mirrormaze

Spoken (2:02 – 2:49)
And it is written on the walls
All who came before
Infinite possibilities
Captured in infinite multiverse
A cosmic Rosetta stone
In the maze of alien mirrors
Answers to all questions
If you only know what to ask

Transition (2:51 – 3:14)
Come to me you seeker, come to me
Of your burdens, free at last
I shall be the answer that you seek
I shall be the present, future, and the past

Chorus (3:15 – 3:38)
A timeless monolith, the sum of all our sorrows
Our past and present smothered in its gaze
In its consternation, false promise of tomorrow
Our futures written in the mirrormaze
