Engine Lyrics


Little wonder humming inside

A spark, that keeps the drama moving

After all around had died

At the core of everything

Working: the engine

Powered by growing entropy

Navigating a way through the dark labyrinth

In a timeless sea

Language, continually open to our gaze

Irreducible presence, the engine driven by fate

Burning and toiling, at every level

Converting energy, the currency of change

Truth encoded in durable moving parts

The truth universal, wherever on this ‘brane

Perfectly fluid and frictionless, supreme mechanism

Driving the very wheelwork, vain chimera pursued like a holy grail

Yet to be unlocked

A secret in gravity
