BEYOND


Birds no longer fly

The air has become thin and dry

Animals which crossed vast plains

Now forgotten with blowing dust


Oceans and lakes have crept beneath the ground

This world barren and lost

To distant to remember

It is still seen in the sky


Explorers and dreamers alike

Wish to step upon the desolation again

To corrupt what has been destroyed

Then bring back to life, all the possibilities


Where have they gone when they travel

Far away from home

Or returning to the birthplace

Legends and myth combined in genetic memory


We are not of here

Only visitors from lost worlds

How many before and how many to come

A footprint on alien soil, to change history


Look to the stars, the battles that have been fought

They tell us on heaven and earth

What meaning can be derived from simple words

Passed down through hundreds of generations


Understanding ourselves lies within and out there

Codes designed within structures

Revealing the truth of an unlimited past

Structures designed within codes


Humanity divine and pitiful

Blushing and proudly naked

Standing before the universe

The time has come to reach for the future
