Universe Lyrics

Beginning in oblivion 
Primeval atom point 
Forces once unified 
Spontaneously tear apart 
Creating space and time 

Inflation for a millionth of a second 
Mass from energy 
As it cools in a new expanse 
Welcome first gravity 
Then strong and weak nuclear 
Electromagnetic might 
By the first second fundamental particles take form 

Nucleosynthesis 
Recombination 

Now there is enough substance 
To be called a void 

All the time in the Universe 
For Building blocks to coalesce 

Until the first spark ignites 
Hydrogen compressed to fusion 
The first sun is born 
A light to shine in the darkness 

And then everywhere at last the sky is on fire 

Circles in circles, background dispersed, defining a ghost of 
the past 
Is this the first or the last or the middle of infinity 
What was meant to be! 

Cyclical regression 
Exists, as observed 
Chaos and imperfection is the seed of existence 
Sown so that it will evolve 

Universe of untold beauty 
Elegant, complete and free
