Swirling the bottomless space

And seeing the birth of flickering flames

My ark departing from home

I am alone once again



Other life seem so far

As my vessel battles the storms

Like a stranger lost on its way



The further away we get from the Earth

The closer we come to the world beyond



Fragments of earthly landscapes

Dissolve in a fallout haze

Disappearing like the fleeting illusions

From a distant childhood dream

Fleeing from the horrid reality



Now I see what our life has been -

2000 years of consuming agony

Spent in search of an exit

Form the catacombs of our mind



Denying our phobias and fears

We're seeking evidence of our supremacy

Invent the theory of evolution

Avoid acknowledging regress

Self-proclaimed masters of the mind

Yet remain servants of our instincts



The Old Testament has lost its laws

The values of the past are forsaken

Time and space have merged at a breakpoint

What awaits ahead no one knows



We may be able to cheat death

But fate we can't avoid

And those who follow in our footsteps

Will squander the grasp of wisdom



And will be left in charge of the riddles

Whose essence is not meant to be revealed

Our names and faces will be forgotten

Or become icons of the idol gods

Our heirs are doomed to be the servants of the cannon code

As they forget their heretic past



Who knows

If space walk leads into eternity

But what I know for sure

Is I don't wish to be another brick

A brick in a cemetery wall
