Lyrics
Time Cube
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The planet was molded from great clouds of dust
Then molten eruptions would burst through the crust
A new sun was shining and covered the earth
The heavens all knowing acknowledged the birth
The seas were forming before life began
It would take a long time to crawl on the land
The rivers were waiting for the arrival
The lowlands provided a place of survival
Man cam from the mud and the ooze and the slime
An integral part of a master design
He gazed at the stars and the moon in the sky
Some knew they were going and some wondered why
Man made a beginning and went to the moon
A few fellow creatures predicted earth's doom
His colonisation out into space is more than
A great leap for the whole human race
Some dream of a journey to the neighboring star
And some will not listen, they say it's too far
He'll create a machine and launch it someday
To reach Alpha Centauri four light years away
Then evolve to the stars of our galaxy
And write a new chapter of man's destiny
Man came from the mude and the ooze and the slime
An integral part of a master design
