Lyrics

A cradle Earth, horizons unseen

A representation of Earth in its early stages, with unknown future possibilities.

New world in thirst for the arcane

A new realm seeking knowledge that's mysterious and secret.

We are singers of the gone

We are vocalists commemorating what has passed.


We remember, as along came life

Recollection of the past coinciding with the emergence of life.


A cradle Earth, horizons unseen

Similar to line 1, referencing the Earth in its infancy and future expanses.

Birth of one and a zillion sideshows

The birth of an individual amidst countless spectacles or distractions.

We are, we were and will not be

We existed, exist, but won't continue.

We remember, as along came acorn

Recollection of the past alongside the emergence of an acorn.


Another birth, another moss green

Another beginning, denoting a fresh start or genesis.

New world in thirst for the unseen

A new world seeking the unknown or unseen.

An empty zoo, a starlight vigil

An abandoned or desolate place under the observation of starlight, anticipating a visit.

Will have a visit, as along came heartbeat

Expectation of a visitation with the arrival of a heartbeat.


Another birth, another monster

Another beginning marked by a monstrous presence.

Endless forms towards the stronger

Diverse forms progressing towards strength or superiority.

Menagerie of a new world order

A collection of various beings in a new societal structure or arrangement.

We held our breath, as along came suffering

A moment of anticipation or apprehension coinciding with the arrival of suffering.


We remember Father Pikaia

Recollection of the influence of an ancestral figure, Father Pikaia.

Gave the way, as along came Sapien

Significance of Sapiens emerging following the path laid by Father Pikaia.

The cradle Earth, welcoming its newborn

Earth, embracing its newest creation or offspring.

Aeons since that very first acorn

Ages have passed since the inception of the first acorn.


Together now, in this timeless parade

Together in an unending procession or sequence of events.

The living lie, dead afraid

The living present falsehoods while being afraid of death.

Then they saw the moon and found caring

Discovery of empathy upon witnessing the moon.

We remember, as along came writing

Memory of the past linked to the advent of writing.


Such worlds were there, zoos dead again

Worlds that existed but are now lifeless once more.

After all, we should've never appeared

A realization that perhaps humanity should have never come into existence.

Spaceship Earth through the fields of time

Earth likened to a spaceship traveling through time.

They understood, as along came wisdom

Understanding gained alongside the emergence of wisdom.


We have been here, here a while

Existence in this place has been for a considerable duration.

At the end of Pi, as along came harvest

At a significant point in time, coinciding with the harvest, possibly denoting an end or culmination.

We will remember all the suffering

Recollection of all the pain and hardship endured.

We wrote this in a tongue you will understand

Communicating in a manner understandable to future generations.

Words and melodies with a touch of colouring

Expressing thoughts and tunes with added artistic elements.

We were there and will remember mankind

We were part of this and will remember the existence of humanity.

Our kin

Referencing a shared ancestry or relation with humanity.

Aeons ago

A significant period in the past, marking the passage of immense time.
