The Greatest Show on Earth

歌词

1.) Four Point Six

Archaean horizon

The first sunrise

On a pristine Gaea

Opus perfectum 

Somewhere there, us sleeping

2.) Life

The cosmic law of gravity 

Pulled the newborns around a fire

A careless, cold infinity in every vast direction

Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone

She has a tale to tell 

From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast

Enter LUCA

*The tapestry of chemistry

There’s a writing in the garden

Leading us to the Mother of all

#We are one

We are a universe

Forbears of what will be

Scions of the Devonian sea

Aeons pass 

Writing the tale of us all

A day-to-day new opening

For the greatest show on Earth#*

Ion channels welcoming the outside world 

To the stuff of stars 

Bedding the tree of a biological holy 

Enter life

REPEAT *

We are here to care for the garden

The wonder of birth

Of every form most beautiful

Every form most beautiful

REPEAT #

3.) The Toolmaker

After a billion years

The show is still here

Not a single one of your fathers died young

The handy travelers

Out of Africa

Little Lucy of the Afar 

Gave birth to fantasy

To idolatry

To self-destructive weaponry

Enter the god of gaps

Deep within the past

Atavistic dread of the hunted

Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought

The architecture of understanding

The human lust to feel so exceptional

To rule the Earth

Hunger for shiny rocks

For giant mushroom clouds

The will to do just as you’d be done by

Enter history, the grand finale

Enter Ratkind

^Man, he took his time in the sun

Had a dream to understand

A single grain of sand

He gave birth to poetry

But one day’ll cease to be

Greet the last light of the library^

REPEAT ^

We were here!

We were here!

We were here!

We were here!

4.) The Understanding

5.) Sea-Worn Driftwood
