A cradle Earth, horizons unseen

New world in thirst, for the arcane

We are, singers of the gone

We remember, as along came life

A cradle Earth, horizons unseen

Birth of one, and a zillion sideshows

We are, we were, and will not be

We remember, as along came acorn

Another birth, another moss green

New world in thirst, for the unseen

An empty zoo, a starlight vigil

Will have a visit, as along came heartbeat

Another birth, another monster

Endless forms, towards the stronger

Menagerie, of a new world order

We held our breath, as along came suffering

We remember, father Pikaia

Gave the way, as along came Sapien

The cradle Earth, welcoming its newborn

Aeons since that very first acorn

Together now, in this timeless parade

The living lie, dead afraid

Then they saw the moon, and found caring

We remember, as along came writing

Such worlds were there, zoos dead again

After all, we should`ve never appeared

Spaceship Earth, through the fields of time

They understood, as along came wisdom

We have been here a while

At the end of Pi, as along came harvest

We will remember all the suffering

We wrote this in a tongue you will understand

Words and melodies with a touch of coloring

We were there and will remember mankind

Our kin

Aeons ag
