For there is a purpose and reason Beyond all human apprehension The shrieking silence in the blackness of space For there is a knowledge more complex Than life on this planet A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars Lunar strain All across the milky way Life suffers defeat Life that once was treasured What once was nothing Has blossomed into form Once it was I that was nothing But now they say I will die All across the galaxy Life suffers defeat Lunar strain From nothingless to reality As we see it From nothingless to life My dismal tears of anguish Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven Loneliness is pain Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain Serenity is might Yet we shall be honoured In the starforsaken night Astral strain All around my silent moon Life suffers defeat Astral strain For there is a purpose and reason Beyond all human apprehension The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
