Before the stars ever burned, before the existence ever churned
Billions of years in the past saw an ever expanding blast

From a singularity comes all that will ever be

Crucible of creation, there was nothing and then there was
Crucible of Creation power to cast the formation

From that singularity emanates a violent heat
Beyond mortal agility burning at trillions of degrees

Crucible of creation, there was nothing and then there was
Crucible of creation power to cast the formation

Before the light, it's makers plan precise
Pure energy into matter, not truly infinite
With a finite beginning and a cold black frozen end

From nothing comes everything, out of nothing

Before the stars ever burned, before the existence ever churned
Billions of years in the past saw an ever expanding blast

From a singularity comes all that will ever be

Crucible of creation, there was nothing and then there was
Crucible of creation power to cast the formation

Matter time and space created all at once
Welcome to the darkest age, the time before the suns

Crucible of creation, there was nothing and then there was
Crucible of creation power to cast the formation

This is the finger of god bringing pure perfection
Emergence of everything the universe has begun

Faster than the speed of light matter time and space flow
Accelerating coalescing shifting as it grows
A battle is underway two forces collide
Explosions of behemoth force logic is defied

Antimatter loses in this war
The fate of all future life is locked forever more
One part per millionth somehow survives
Billions of years from now this leads to your life

The architecture of the universe
The formation light years transversed

Behold
This is the timeline of creation what's begun is the foundation
This is the timeline of everything the massive cosmic fury rages
This is the timeline of creation what's begun cannot be undone
This is the timeline of everything and it will not cease

Two hundred million years after the war ends
Peerless clouds of heated dust force space time to bend
Submerged in the deepest heart a protostar is trapped
Turbulence moves from within gives rise to a slow collapse

Nuclear fusion fuels this growing force
Hydrogen forms helium at the very core
From the mass these elements suddenly ignite
The creator then spoke the words let there be light

The architecture of the universe
The formation light years transversed

Behold
This is the timeline of creation what's begun is the foundation
This is the timeline of everything the massive cosmic fury rages
This is the timeline of creation what's begun cannot be undone
This is the timeline of everything and it will not cease

The reason your heart beats lies from within the stars
The building blocks of being transferred from afar

The life, the death hypernova
The life, the death, its time is over

Trillions form, set afire
Burning fuel, they expire

The most massive of these die a beautiful death
Metamorphosis complete behold the stygian depths

All things that drift too close meet their invisible end
Tremendous force displayed pulls deep in the chasm

Event horizon the point of no return
Destroy of worlds, not even light escapes

A place where time stops, another dimension
Some call this Heaven; others have no faith

This paradox unfolds in a universal guise
These things which bring destruction also bring new life

This is the storm in a sea of space
This is a storm, one that cannot be erased

A singularity like the one that started it all

The deepest black, a hole in time
A one-way exit where dimensions are defined

Gone forever, vanished in the void

The reason your heart betas lies from within the stars
The building blocks of being transferred from afar

This paradox unfolds in a universal guise
These things which bring destruction also bring new life

The life, the death hypernova
The life, the death, its time is over

Derived from this, galaxies form
Pulled together, thus conformed

The planets shifting, turning slowly, taking shape
Extraordinary species will inhabit this new landscape

One billion years after these holes in space
Once magnificent stars begin to form and shape things
They are the heart
Dense gas and dust collect and pull together
The galaxy is molded, gravity its measure
New stars are formed, smaller in mass

Planets follow, then their moons
Materializing, elements consumed

All across the macrocosm this is taking place
One that you evolved within became the Milky Way

Abiogenesis, not the way it was
Creationism fused with evolution
This is a glimpse - This is the way

You're not the first, you will not be the last
Other creatures elsewhere, other beings else when
You're not the first, you will not be the last

This is a planned progression envisioned from the start
This is our first beginnings, a cosmic work of art

One billion years after these origins
Microscopic molecules begin to shift and move again
They'll be human
This is a slow process that to this day continues
Evolution on a scale seen through a deeper view
You are now formed, the mortal flesh

The breath of life follows on partrurition
This is the soul breathed into you

All across the macrocosm, this is taking place
Multiplying frequently, this is the human race

We are not alone, discoveries will be made
Though unique, we are in a universal array

All across the macrocosm this is taking place
Multiplying frequently, this is the human race

We are not alone, discoveries will be made
Though unique, we are in a universal array

Ultimately at the mercy of powers you can't comprehend
The journey is just beginning but one day it must end

Five hundred thousand B.C. man sparks a flame
This discovery will forever change them
Mass migrations follow moving freely
The world is now populated advancements move quickly

As early as can be seen laborers are in need
Man starts his wicked reign with slavery
Fifty five hundred B.C. man is evolving
Irrigation, cultivation averts starving

The evolution after evolution
The evolution after evolution

Thirty one hundred B.C. a dynasty
Egypt was the first but there will soon be many
Each stronger, unrelenting, greater than before
Written language now established, the annals etched therefore

Wars are fought constantly, the struggle for power it seems
Never ending, never changing human nature extremes
Far in the future humanity will unite
The population will undergo a struggle for their lives

The evolution after evolution
The evolution after evolution

Fast forward five thousand years
Bring forth the information age

Begin the study of what's now known as the Earth
Which sparks the exploration of our universe

Great minds entwine together
Principa Mathematica

These are the ones

Copernicus, Aristotle, Galileo, Einstein and Ptolemy

The ultimate goal persists - escape the bounds of the Earth
Inspiration allows space travel, its birth
Tsiolkovsky, Goddard and Von Braun
Oberth, the pioneers to help with the unbound

Ion thrusters, the evolution after evolution
Super colliders, the evolution after evolution

Fast forward five thousand years, meager problems are replaced
With more significant issues thus begins the colossal space race

You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up
Your fate is in the hands of something from above

Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time
Science can only save you, sustain you for a while

You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up
Live your whole life inspired, soon it will be done
There are so many ways in which Earth can meet its end
The inevitable end

Tectonic plate shifts, apophis messenger of death
Overpopulation, volcanic eruptions

Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time
Science can only save you, sustain you for a while
The only hope you have is far, far from this Earth
The journey treacherous but much deeper in worth

Will there be another Chicxulub, the end comes quick and swift
One million near Earth objects orbiting adrift
Will disease be carried back from the deepest realms of space
Or a gamma ray burst sent to erase your human race

Do humans even deserve to live?
Where they go, destruction follows with them

Ata carini, a supernova with extinction in mind
Coronal mass ejection, legal clouds of gas that leave Earth barren

Do humans even deserve to live?
Where they go, destruction follows with them

Earth's axis shifts, catastrophic climate change
The ice age begins
History shows every hundred million years, extinctions bestowed

Your frail existence subsists, you live on borrowed time
Science can only save you, sustain you for a while

You think there's nothing bigger than you, just look up
Your fate is in the hands of something from above
These things won't be the Earth's end, it comes more gradual
Over myriads of years, and so much more vital

The thin blue line that is essential to your world
Is slowly crumbling, the atmosphere won't hold
The Earth's core is cooling faster than imagined
So much faster than they fathomed

This in turn exposes you, no more magnetic field
Assaulted by the neos, opened up to solar flares

The only space race that matters is on
To leave this planet will ensure existence
Do humans even deserve to live?
Where they go, destruction follows with them

Somehow, the human race managed escape
With science helping, universes reshaped
Man's fingerprint reaching out far and wide
The species learning and enduring through time
Pushing on

Millions of generations, the quest for immortality

With help of DNA mapping, you can't cheat death
Regenerations and clones, you can't cheat death
Just elude it for a while, you can't cheat death
Circumvent it and beguile, you can't cheat your death

Billions of years pass, vast distance made near
Through use of wormholes transversing light years

Somehow the human race keeps moving on
Through physics, everything is understood
Pioneers
The blueprints of demise are clearly laid
The species can no longer try and evade their fate

Can you feel the extinction? As space continues its expansion
All the while inevitable, witness the end of all things
Suns continue to burn out, everything is losing heat
Energy is being consumed as the universe continues to freeze
Feel the cold freeze
Feel the cold freeze

The conclusion is, all things must die
Science cannot bring eternal life
All things end
Accept the fate, do not breathe in vain
There is a chance you could live again
We are the same

The sands of the hour glass run
Preserve the human race, can it be done?

With help of DNA mapping, you can't cheat death
Regenerations and clones, you can't cheat death
Just elude it for a while, you can't cheat death
Circumvent it and beguile, you can't cheat your death

A flicker was once given to you
The candle grows dim, perpetuate and ensue

There is still yet hope, just not in our universe
This is not the end, just the end of you

Before the last of the humans passed
Before their end, a project was devised
Before they went into nothingness
Its course was then set before the demise

To live again another day, to live again another way
Their hope rests in a master plan
Set in motion starting when
The realized there's no escape
Preserve and keep the human race
The universe still growing cold
The fabric of time, they must fold

Space and time are curved in the presence of matter
String theory was proven true
There are eleven dimensions
Worlds within many worlds
A never ending multiverse
Do you exist there now? the chance cannot be taken
Proceed

Harness the power of black energy
Burning a hole in the fabric of time
Tearing and stretching again and again
Over and over, billions of times

This message they send encoded within
The foundation for life, will it suffice?

DNA mapping and human genome
Knowledge and wisdom they also encode
Cell and microorganisms as well
The chance they shall live and will somehow excel
Perhaps even the data is found
Another species reconstructs it somehow

Did it end with success? That's a different story
For a different time. This is still yours.

Life will still go on until the end
Fused with your species although not human
They are half machine and half human being
Though no longer birthed, still with flesh and blood

Other lifeforms continue as well
Amalgamate but perish they shall

The death throes approaching and even for them
The end is still coming, yes they too condemned
Life is now lingering, not much is left
Expansion is quickening and not repressed

[INSTRUMENTAL]

It is true that every beginning has an end
This is that end, the universe will cease to exist

Light absorbed by darkness, an interweaving plexus

The big rip is tearing even quarks apart
Everything apart with an ever pulling massive force

Forty billion A.D. expansion is now slowing
Without heat, nothing can be moving
The big freeze, dark matter is done pulling
Now it all stops

In the vast emptiness of space
A grand power is consolidating
Greater than even this dark matter
Their inner hearts are not done churning

Gravity gives all things order
It was thought to have disappeared
The black holes pull to each other
Over billions of years

They become one colossal titan
Their reach grasping at the furthest depths
Everything that was pulled apart begin now to coalesce

Dancing headlong in slow motion
A recension underway
Suspended animation moving forward in reverse

The breathtaking beauty that once shown
In every corner of the universe
Its script is still being written
As it nears its rebirth
One hundred million A.D. back to singularity
The one that started it all erupts in a new beginning

Just like leaves upon a tree each spring, they are anew
We are too just like those leaves endlessly existing and renewed

Did you live for a reason? Or was it all for nothing?
As you ponder this question, don't forget to look up.
