1. Shudder Before the Beautiful (6:29)
The deepest solace lies in understanding,
This ancient unseen stream,
A shudder before the beautiful
Awake, oceanborn
Behold this force
Bring the outside in
Explode the self to epiphany
The very core of life
The soaring high of truth and light
The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant Island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We, the voyagers
Tales from the seas
Cathedral of green
The unknown, the grand show, the choir of the stars
Interstellar theatre play, the nebulae curtain falls
Imagination, evolution, a species from the vale
Walks in wonder in search of the source of the tale
This ancient unseen stream,
A shudder before the beautiful
Awake, oceanborn
Behold this force
Bring the outside in
Explode the self to epiphany
The very core of life
The soaring high of truth and light
The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant Island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We, the voyagers
Tales from the seas
Cathedral of green
The unknown, the grand show, the choir of the stars
Interstellar theatre play, the nebulae curtain falls
Imagination, evolution, a species from the vale
Walks in wonder in search of the source of the tale
