I am exposed to elements known
To, in excess, destroy and dethrone
Total envelopment of
The system, resistant, suspended as stone
From mountain heights to oceans of ice
Searing heat to arctic freeze, replacement of hydration is
Essential to life and so I thrive
Disordered proteins crystallize, converted cells now vitrified
Superimposed on top of my own
Regenesis, a genetic restructuring not ever seen
Before. I stand alone
A monument to obstruent adaptation
Cryptobiotic response
From mountain heights to oceans of ice
Searing heat to arctic freeze, replacement of hydration is
Essential to life and so I thrive
Disordered proteins crystallize, converted cells now vitrified
I survive
Immortality realized
I survive
Moving ever forward
To the precipice of time
Holding the key to eternal life
Dueling shadows of mystery gone
Congruent solutions, set the stage
A glimpse of what's to come
Will we decide? Be rid of this blight
Fear of death, sorrow, disease, escape or face the weakening
Our fading timeline to face genocide
A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi
Repair our structure or die
I survive
Immortality realized
I survive
Moving ever forward
To the precipice of time
Holding the key to eternal life
Encroaching our own hopelessness
We drift away toward
I stare and burn my eyes out
Fate calls, do we answer or not?
Chance to learn from life smaller yet
More resilient than ours
[Guitar solo 1: Greg Burgess]
[Guitar solo 2: Michael Stancel]
I stare and burn my eyes out
Fate calls, do we answer or not?
Chance to learn from life smaller yet
More resilient than ours
Immortality realized
I survive
Moving ever forward
To the precipice of time
Holding the key to eternal life
I survive
Immortality realized
Metamorphosis impedes on new horizons
Holding the key to eternal life
