KARDASHEV LYRICS

1. Potentiality

Mankind has left the Earth.
Readjusted purposes.
Commencing alignment shift.

D.S. Alpha 12389.
The power above now cradled
Below.

Disengaged hybrid systems.
Power runs pure and clean.
Radiant light and heat.
Architecture of energy.

A new solar world
Of flawless design.

A crystalline filigree
Continuous and
Unbroken.
Synthetic rings of
Infinite life.

One of one million
Six hundred thousand
Emitters are powering
A vast network
Of amethyst fluorescence.
A vast network
Of renewability.

A station built
Among the stars
For a global civilization.

2. Multitudes of Life

The power to destroy distinction
Within a single cell.

"Authorization denied."

"You are impeding progress!
Your mind is closed!"

"The risk outweighs the benefits.
We do not know what it
Will create."

"I will nourish the cell and bring
This to completion."

Catalyst of
Self sustaining processes
Introduced
To accelerate
Replication.

This system
Is living.
Contiguous.
Metabolic.
Maintaining homeostasis.
Origin -
Unknown and in question.
A complex network of
Matter and form.

The being that sat before her
Was self aware.
Its eyes held consciousness.
A complex inquiry.

"I was not born into wisdom.
Wisdom was born into me."

This is first contact.
This is rebirth.

3. The Chiliagon

Creation without
A true visualization.
One thousand new worlds.

Internal.
External.

Wisdom was forward.
Confused representation
Centralized.

Spacial concepts had since dissolved.
Walkway to the infinite.
Mankind made humble
At sight of endlessness.

One of one million six hundred thousand
Will multiply exponentially.

Oscillating light -
A speed no longer challenged.
Reality folds.

Cyclic oscillator.
Infinite power source.

Removed causality.
No understanding.
Yet they sought outlying worlds
And never intervening space.
Faith placed in the unknown.
No understanding.

Distance fades away,
A newly flawed conception.
Precipice. A door.

4. Displacement

Immersed in emptiness.
The mass of other bodies pushed aside.
Soft echoing of solitary footsteps.

This hollow station is alienation.
Off world advance
Had trapped her withing.

Where had such wonder gone?
Every hope had been taken for granted.
The fabric of reality torn apart.

Alone and unprepared.
No restitution.
Mortality of flesh
Is realized.

Sphere
Of exotic matter
Folds the fabric of the universe.

"Know us not by our names
But by the dark that created us."

Pale flesh abominations
Brought forth from other worlds.
Initial contact was
Met with aggression.

Each being spoke with ten voices,
Droning words from their sides.
The depths of space had been
Named as their father.

Cold.
Empty.
Void.

Displacement.
To be alone.
Alone.

Cold.
Empty.
Void.
The dark that created us.

5. Continuum

Ignorance
Has collapsed.
Resources are
Redistributed
To the development of
Machinery.
Autonomous self-replication.

"This process will mirror
Natural concepts
While guided by
Pre-written code."

"This process will mirror
Natural concepts
While guided by
Pre-written code."

"Initiate
The synthesis
Of flesh
And technology
With great intent
On finding new life
In our galaxy."

The theory
Of infinite lifelessness
Replaced by the certainty
Of infinite abundance.

No longer
A race of complacency.
They grasp at the powers of
Opportunity.

Systems of exploration
Now have precedence
In light of all evidence
They are not alone.
They are not alone.

They are the programmers
Of their own fate -
Outside the powers of
Evolution.

Pathfinder initiative.
Mastery of bio-robotic engineering.

They have placed themselves
Inside their creations.
Through synthetic eyes
They have gained sight.

In exploring the galaxy
They return to themselves.
