A blink in the eye in the passage of time
Our existence on this planet has been short
Though now we change the face of the Earth
Eons before us our species was naught
From the formation of the sun
We were born from the stars
Our brother and sister planets
Share the same story as ours
Yet fate aligned just right
Life's ingredients converged
Through billions of years
Life emerged
The evolutionary tree
Still diverse beyond belief
The resilience of life through catastrophes
Lives on in our biological memories
And today we advance exponentially
Ever searching to explain how we came to be
We scan the skies for a sign
That we're not the only ones
Lost in this vast expanse of space and time
But we're finding water on the moons of Saturn
And if water is vital for life
Could there be a repeat to the pattern?
A blink in the eye in the passage of time
Our existence in this universe has been naught
Though somewhere out there life may exist
The answer to this question must be sought
The next step forward in the evolution of the human race
Lies in our ability to colonise outer space
To explore the endless cosmos expanding so fast
Countless possibilities await us in this universe infinitely vast
From beginning to end the cosmos will take us all
Night and day
Life and death
In this universe we float away
And nothing is the same
...isn't it obvious?

The tension is slowly building
Do you feel it floating within the air?
Because we are a hive of agitated bees
Do you hear the buzzing getting louder?
So what does the future hold for us?
Will the hive erupt in anger?
Or will we be cut down off the tree
When it's too late for action?
A worldwide society
Yet still we run rampant with inequality
Inequality has always plagued mankind
So is that just the way that things are meant to be?
In a worldwide society
We can make this become our reality
But the borders they stay up
And the powerful sow discord between neighbours
They don't care twice about the pain
For all they focus on is their gain
They don't care for the lives of the masses
To them we're all just collateral damage
To what lengths will they go to to keep this inequality?
They poison our oceans and cut down all the forests
Not sharing resources and never giving back
Rampant inequality in a global society
Now say it after me "We are free, we are free"
This is our society, a world filled with brutality
This is our reality, a world filled with mortality
When are we going to break this sick mentality?
Where money is more important than morality
Rampant inequality in a global society
Now, say it after me
"We are free"
We aren't fucking free

The Final Transcendence

Embrace the light that comes at death
Drawing ever closer to the final breath
We all leave this life in the same way
And we all have our final day
Fading in, fading out
What is this all about?
The final journey is within the mind
Daunting it may seem
Leave all known things behind
Do not fear
For everyone shall someday die
Like the countless before us
There's just one last thing
One last thing to complete the circle of life
Falling...
Falling faster
Falling into the stream of swirling light
There we stand alone
Trancendence done on our own
Embrace the light that comes at death
Drawing ever closer to the final breath
We all leave this life in the same way
And we all have our final day
Now as the last shreds of existence drains out from our bodies
And we draw our terminal breath
Voices resonate all around, words of untold wisdom
Speaking in tongues, but the message is clear
|||||| DO NOT FEAR YOUR DEATH ||||||
As we float through the valley of shadows
By souls of peoples past
Gone from Earth, gone from body
Our final resting place at last
Now the journey is at its end
After all the trials in life
We realise that death is nothing to fear;
The one true peace of mind
