The Human Molecule Lyrics

The Captain:
Redeemer, or deceiver? Boy, I've got a lot of data from the Formulator
Should I try my faith, or deny?
Will I believe?
Found, the Signal's loud! Another chance to seek—primed for the next round
Born and reformed, transformation of my distorted and alternate contour
What's in the tendons—in the sinew?
What forms the basis of the Human Molecule?
I'll deny his simple request to lead him to the end for which I strive
He granted me life, but at what price?
(A wild, roaming, misled route intertwining pathways in pursuit of sounds)
I'll define a new path forward—I won't lead him to my new world!

The Formulator:
"I built you piece by piece from the nothing that you were
You will lead me, obediently, to the Signal that you heard!
Breathe in and feel it does not burn—when will you learn?
I should have left you drowning in the murk. You should have died alone!"

The Captain:
Another form. Another face. Another time. Another space
The line is straight. A new world—a home that's safe

The Formulator:
"Now I'm infected by the sound, won't you come around?
Aid me. Assuage me. Let's find what you're chasing
Betray me? You'll have hell to pay!
As I can create, so too can I destroy
The forces in my employ will seek you out without a choice
What's that? Can you hear it? The vibrations of space must sustain it!
A distant rumbling swelling to a crescendo...
And then it came to me—in a flash so brilliantly
The Signal revealed it seems! A guide's no longer what I need..."

The Captain:
It's hard to define—hard to believe
Now that the Signal is shared in-between
It's in my makeup. It's in my genes. The Signal's meant for me, singularly!
I'll chase the Signal for eternity!
Every molecule compelling me at high velocity
My framework, redefined. My form, renewed
I've found the basis of the Human Molecule...

The Formulator:
"We are now both infected by the sound, won't you come around?"
