Extinction: Swarming the Sun Lyrics


The Swarm

Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind

Fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding

We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence

Before us you are nothing, your extinction is inevitable

We are the end of everything

My kind transcends your very understanding

We are each a nation: Independent, free of all weakness

You cannot even grasp the nature of our existence

We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution

You exist because we allow it

And you will end...

Because we demand it.

Atlas Aetheriel

It all began as he drifted away

Passing by Saturn he saw them all

A massive armada dwarfing our worlds

Treading voids through to Earth

And then a voice, drew his focus

Distant and vague, an alien tongue

The words somehow, he understood

Atlas Rigel

You will soon be the last, the only

Vincent

Alien voices seeped inside

Whispering of impending doom

The universe inhales anxiously

To bate it's breath for the coming storm

The Swarm

You only exist because we allow it

And you will end because we demand it

Atlas Rigel

Follow the stars into dark space

Expand to survive, or conquer and die

Atlas Aetheriel

Hands against the glass he watches on

As Mars is razed by the drifting swarm

Unseen watchers make their presence known

As the third child is soon consumed

Atlas Rigel

Your mind will be shaped to formlessness

To understand the concepts of eternity

You are the spatial architect

The ambassador of baryonic forms

The Swarm

We will end you...

Vincent

Alien voices blast their chords

Shouting of the impending doom

The universe exhaled a mighty wind

It's breath to become infinite storms

The Swarm

You only exist because we allow it

And you will end because we demand it

A feeble attempt from the fleshy machines

Expand to survive, or fight and die

Atlas Rigel

A gaze distant

Shifts...

It's focus

The Swarm

Pulling against their laws and forces

Gravity, Light, Newton and Einstein

Admirable are your feeble attempts

But the Sovereign's eye, cannot allow this

We are infinite, undying

Limitless

You

Mere flesh

Pure bacteria

The insects on the anthill of Earth

Know not the forms, that they attract

Manipulate the laws in place

Shall bring a harbinger of pure destruction

Atlas Rigel

The mind of man is trawled

The knowledge to rebuild

Recreate

Redefine

The cosmic law

Vincent

What do you want with me?

Why have I been brought here?

Tell me now who you are!

Tell me what has happened!

Atlas Rigel

All your worlds are cast to ash

Everything you know, gone!

Vincent

This cannot be happening

What about everything I left?

Atlas Aetheriel

There is nothing that can be done

All that remains is space and them

Vincent / Atlas Rigel

Why all this? Why me?

You are the one who must rebuild

Atlas Aetheriel

Sovereigns unknown swarm the sun

Their vast numbers have darkened our sky

Massive machines dwarf our worlds

And wrap their arms around the shell of Earth

The sky goes black and a shadow is cast

The human race is pushed into dark

Sovereign's arms slowly crush the Earth

Cracks cross continents like erupting veins

Vincent

Alien voices blast their chords

To sanctify our impending doom

Cosmic prophet of galactic law

Declaration of sentient death

The Swarm

You only exist because we allow it

And you will die because we demand it

A feeble attempt from the fleshy machines

leaves a tiny mark on the cosmic time line

Atlas Rigel

Their gaze, distant

Shifts...

It's focus

The Swarm

There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it

I am beyond your comprehension, I am Sovereign.
