Out there somewhere
Out there somewhere
The beginning is to be found
Out there somewhere
In the galaxies all around
The mystifying unknown
Stars that are but pin holes in the sky
Flickering to their own heartbeat
So very far away
It's unbelievable to grasp everything
The majestic night sky
All is quiet, all is unknown
Out there somewhere
It came from the beyond
Not from the heat of our sun
Not from evolution
Not from modern understanding of religion
Speeding by in space could change its pace
The many lives that could be lived, lost
The Gods returned this way to their planet
To study what was to be found
A sadness for a failed sacrifice
They gave one the power to achieve
The mind to control other species
But what did they do
Tore the hearts out one another
Lost good knowledge forever in the past
Used good knowledge for their wicked games
They couldn't get along with each other
On such a tiny planet, they needed space
They decayed, diseased themselves through time
Overpopulation, oversight, overnight
They came back to find a horrid find
But so they knew, the path would not be smooth
It was an experiment
On some planets, it went bad
The Gods returned to their planets
To see what has been going on
What a child alone has done
Without an overlooking parent
The myth came back
Waiting and watching
Advancing our thinking
To one day answer all the questions
That has been asked since the beginning
That which has been lost and hidden
That which has been dismissed as absurd
The makers of man have ideas of their own
To question the beginning is in vain
We will never know what happened
Only once we're ready to accept it
Will we be told
Which is probably never
Or a very long time away
Flickering to their own heartbeat
So very far away
It's unbelievable to grasp everything
The majestic night sky
All is quiet, all is unknown
Out there somewhere
It came from the beyond
Not from the heat of our sun
Not from evolution
Not from modern understanding of religion
Speeding by in space could change its pace
The many lives that could be lived, lost
The Gods returned this way to their planet
To study what was to be found
A sadness for a failed sacrifice
They gave one the power to achieve
The mind to control other species
But what did they do
Tore the hearts out one another
