The Antikythera Mechanism

Tuomas Holopainen

Unearth a weave of a lost world
Your fathers` voice no more unheard

60 times to the sun and back I return
Just imagine an awake tomorrow

Humankind
Reconciled
Human child
Undefiled
Navigate
Celebrate
History
Mystery
Afterlife
Will arrive

Outermost
Reaches of
Human mind
Labyrinth
Navigate
Animate
Avatar
Of the tides
In the end
To the stars

Tools of mankind
All odds defied
This hour is ours
Dare us dare

From a brave old world, the days of yore
An ancient orrery reading the gods
Aiming for truth, starbound, they saw
The library burns, prophets are crowned

Millenia of darkness for the fallow

From Lucy`s prints
To those on the moon

And from the moon
To the…

Take shelter, skies are humming
Harmageddon, 2nd coming
War of the worlds, the end of history
Take shelter, floods are rising
The Wrath of thunderous drumming
End of days
For mankind, and for your kin
Fill those empty moments, fear more
In this grave new world of `84
Fast death, last breath,
A.I. to kill us all
Horse waste covering London
Martians among us, Y2K
Hoard, all aboard, the end is near
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the due date
Too late, gather up
It`s the day of
Purgatory, same old story
Cower before a caliphate glory
The Big Read of today will gallow you,
Keep you small
