For there is a purpose and reason

Beyond all human apprehension

The shrieking silence in the blackness of space



For there is a knowledge more complex

Than life on this planet

A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars



Lunar strain



All across the milky way

Life suffers defeat

Life that once was treasured



What once was nothing

Has blossomed into form

Once it was I that was nothing

But now they say I will die



All across the galaxy

Life suffers defeat



Lunar strain



From nothingless to reality

As we see it

From nothingless to life

My dismal tears of anguish

Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven

Loneliness is pain



Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain

Serenity is might

Yet we shall be honoured

In the starforsaken night



Astral strain

All around my silent moon

Life suffers defeat



Astral strain



For there is a purpose and reason

Beyond all human apprehension

The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
