Origin Lyrics

Down to the simplest form
There is will to remain
Immortality in the genes you host
Can a miracle be seen?
In absolute destiny
The truth is so much more than this manmade dream

Journey of a seed
On winds of a global road
Shows the path for all in a natural world
Let the strongest live
As the weak may die
Each into its place, the answer “why”

Light will be thrown on the origin of man
Chain of being is now redefined

If landscapes can be transfigured by slow change, so surely,
could flesh modify in the same way

Archive of the rocks is a series of snapshots
Only taken at long intervals
With a badly focussed camera, the analogy goes
In good time disturbs all graves
No vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end
Think of all the species unknown
To taste oblivion is to master nemesis
The clock of Long Now, it strikes the hour

The idea that the Universe has been preserved since Creation
is now dead and cannot reverse

When perfectly viewed
Through an objective lens
The legacy of resistance falls away

Light will be thrown on the origin of man
Chain of being is now redefined
There is grandeur in this view of life
And endless forms, most beautiful
