Tanagra - 10:04 PM lyrics

Between the d**hs of a trillion suns And the dawn of a trillion more Between the Cambrian flood and fatal ebb On a blue and wandering orb A trillion souls bear witness To a speck of dust in Time And among the seas of consciousness One traveler's weary mind The One that Time forgot My destiny precedes me The effect precedes the cause My very soul stands in defiance Of Nature's sacred laws I left that world a mortal man With mortal hopes and fears Then pa**ed in but a heartbeat Four thousand years One thread pulled from the tapestry Was destined to be mine I am the wandering observer Of countless grand designs Somewhere out there Someday amidst the nebulae I will find whatever I must be searching for An exodus of sentience across the cosmos A thousand empires rise and fall Infinite realities woven through the multiverse And I have seen them all The crushing weight of knowing on a cosmic scale This is but the first page of the tale Expansion and collapse Premonitions of the end With another oscillation The stars are reborn once again An exodus of sentience across the cosmos A thousand empires rise and fall Infinite realities woven through the multiverse And I have seen them all I lay my eyes level with the smallest of leaves As the macrocosm dissolves Now I see The fourth dimension is me None of this is real It's all so damned insignificant One more breath And I'm gone Vast oceans of stardust Will be scarred by my hand I can show you the edge of Forever From without the finite boundaries of mortality To the very edges of the universe and beyond Throngs of the faithful to the undying light Shall come to heed the words Of the One that Time forgot
