The Great Silence Lyrics

Why are we alone?
The Great Silence: a paradox unfolds

Of all the worlds
Practically infinite
For all messages sent starwards
They remain unanswered

How could it be from so many opportunities?
Surely we cannot be the one unique story of creation

Hereinafter we explore
the viable explanations of the prime contradiction

As the search continues to fail
The deafening silence grows
A problem of distance
Our window is open while others have closed
Or maybe intelligence has no evolutionary goal

Forlorn or exceedingly rare
A final filter still lies ahead

The universe is too miraculous
Not to be experienced
by an entity
that appreciates the beauty

How we came to be is a footnote
What we could achieve is an unwritten story

So in answer to your first question
“Why are we alone?”
Look to the following context

All great and precious things are lonely
Existing is the underlying responsibility
