The Lost Cycle
Eternal Witness: The Spaceman's Reflection on Humanity's Fate
Lyrics
The spaceman came from time unknown
The spaceman arrives from an unknown time.
His knowledge way ahead of man
His knowledge surpasses that of humanity.
To seek the cycle starting here
He aims to find the starting point of a cyclical process.
The evolution plan
Referencing an evolutionary plan.
Each day he watched the world evolve
He observes the world's continuous evolution.
Eternal life for him to prove
His existence extends eternally for the purpose of demonstration.
Watching man grow powerful
He witnesses humanity becoming powerful.
Destroying life with every move
Human actions lead to the destruction of life.
The spaceman's world a burning mass
The spaceman's original world faces destruction by its own inhabitants.
Destroyed by his own kind
Destroyed by internal conflict among his kind.
A sole survivor lost in space
He is the sole survivor lost in space.
A growing world must find
A growing world must discover him.
He saw the birth of hate and war
He witnesses the birth of hate and war.
Of death before our life was born
Death precedes the birth of life.
With human fear the spaceman saw
The spaceman perceives human fear and undergoes a transformation.
And changed from human form
Changing from human form due to fear.
His voyage led back to Nemo's world
His journey takes him back to a peaceful beginning in Nemo's world.
A peaceful start of human form
A peaceful start for the evolution of humanity.
He knew one day he'd leave again
He anticipates leaving again to witness the birth of another planet.
To witness another planet's born
Anticipating the creation of a new planet.
He watched helpless, tearful
Helplessly, tearfully, he observes the embittering of the world.
As the world embittered grows
The world grows more bitter, moving closer to its end.
Moving closer to the end of earth
Approaching the end of Earth.
The spaceman only knows
The spaceman is aware of the impending doom.
The spaceman only knows the truth
The spaceman possesses the truth about humanity's fate.
He's seen it from eternal youth
He has witnessed it from eternal youth.
Man will always die
A somber acknowledgment that humans will always face mortality.
