Mote of Dust Part 2: The Enveloping Dark Lyrics

Lights litter the sky with each point being a star or a planet with its own set of celestial bodies surrounding it

Why then when you're asked on the potential for life not of this world you're reluctant to consider that we're not the only ones

Ponder the numbers, the infinite galaxies, knowing that there are more of them than what we can see

Disregard those who perpetuate lies that we live on a planet still in its infancy

Your superstitions only get you so far an objective method of obtaining the truth has formed scientific method

Do not stifle progress do not hinder breakthroughs let the scientific method run its course

We must explore the enveloping darkness if we intend to survive in the long term

Make the jump to vacant planets for the long-term success of our species

Lest our lineage end with Earth

Lies of an eternal life litter the minds of the young and old alike causing unwillingness to engage with reality

Lives are not to waste do not let time slip away all in the hope that there's another for you waiting up in the firmament

Ponder the numbers the improbability that you and I are much more than an anomaly

There is nothing that transcends our mortality eternal life nothing but a fantasy

Your superstitions only get you so far an objective method of obtaining the truth has formed scientific method

Do not stifle progress do not hinder breakthroughs let the scientific method run its course

One day we'll make the jump to vacant planets for the long-term success of our species

Lest our lineage end with Earth.
