[Verse 1] Before the breath, before the eye There was only the heat and the violent sky Ammonia waves on a sulfur shore A planet waiting for something more Just atoms dancing in a chaotic trance Waiting for the lightning, waiting for the chance No purpose here, just the spin and the crash Carbon and water in the volcanic ash Silent rock hurtling through the black Time moves forward, there is no turning back It wasn't a plan. It was a collision. [Pre-Chorus] A random arrangement! A spark in the glue! One strand twists and turns into two! The geometry locks! The spiral begins! The battle with entropy finally wins! [Chorus] WE ARE THE ERROR THAT REFUSED TO FADE! THE ACCIDENT OF CHEMISTRY, THE MESS WE MADE! FROM THE INANIMATE! TO THE INSATIABLE! THE ODDS WERE ZERO BUT THE SPARK WAS CAPABLE! WE ARE THE SALT WATER TRAPPED IN THE SKIN! SCREAMING AT THE SILENCE, LET THE HUNGER BEGIN! (Let the hunger begin!) [Verse 2] Replicate! Copy the code! Carry the weight of the genetic load! It’s not a soul, it’s a chemical bond Rippling out across the scum of the pond The first cage wasn't a prison of bone It was a membrane wall to call our own! Separating "Me" from the "Everything Else" The very first instance of the concept of "Self"! Kill to survive! Absorb and consume! Life flowers out like a mold in the gloom! [Pre-Chorus] A random arrangement! A spark in the glue! One strand twists and turns into two! The geometry locks! The spiral begins! The battle with entropy finally wins! [Chorus] WE ARE THE ERROR THAT REFUSED TO FADE! THE ACCIDENT OF CHEMISTRY, THE MESS WE MADE! FROM THE INANIMATE! TO THE INSATIABLE! THE ODDS WERE ZERO BUT THE SPARK WAS CAPABLE! WE ARE THE SALT WATER TRAPPED IN THE SKIN! SCREAMING AT THE SILENCE, LET THE HUNGER BEGIN! [Bridge] We never left the ocean. We just took it with us. Blood is the seawater. Bone is the reef. We are the apex predator... Of a lonely rock. LUCKY! WE! GOT! LUCKY! [Guitar Solo] [Outro] One in a trillion... A dynamic accumulation... We are the universe... Waking up to the devastation.
