Lyrics[]
I am of the stars. I am called "forever".
Eternity courses through my veins. It is cold
beyond your sun where we come from. We seed
the universe with the milk of a million
moons. You are that seed. Your earth is
our experiment. We vanquished the dinosaurs
with the careless trajectory
of a child's lost meteorite. We
peopled your planet to experience
your emotions - such feelings lost
to us aeons ago. How we envied
you your loves and passions,
your dangerous desires.
The fires of your emotions
gleamed like lost beacons in the
darkened depths of the fathomless
universe. And eight of you,
plucked from Time. Not randomly,
you understand. Representatives of
your world's turbulent history. We
have observed your tribulations from
nameless nebulae.
The experiment is over. I am weary now. So
tired. I too am far from home. Open the gate -
complete the circle. You won't remember - you won't
recall - for I am only the air that you breathe,
after all...
