From Dust and Gravity Lyrics

The first truth to understand is the vast tract of time 
Shaping the way of all things, silent and vigilant 
Inevitable consequence of those laws, 
physics is relentless 
From supernova; elements born: 
a star, to metal, to man; all one 

Proto-planets condense 
around an infant Sun 
Fusion ignites its core, 
as a beating heart to burn 

This world was once a fluid haze of light, 
Till toward the centre set the starry tides, 
….From Dust and Gravity 

(An ode) To the weak force: 
present the strongest case 
Without which this rock 
would be directionless in space 
Molten sea before liquid water reigned 
Devoid of organic life; but living all the same 

Barren cradle, waiting in the underworld 
Hardening resolve, but never set in stone 
With her orbit in place, determined road 
Lucky third world in the Goldilocks zone 

"This world was once a fluid haze of light, 
Till toward the centre set the starry tides, 
And eddied into suns, that wheeling cast 
The planets." -- Tennyson, "The Princess” 
....From Dust and Gravity 

No occasion for a deus ex machina 
Simple words; the language of nature
