Gregory - 6equj5 Lyrics

Ad Portas
Something alive in the distant sky
Reaching down to me
From the deepest expanse a signal cries
On the Hydrogen Line

Exuberantly we derive the inscrutable
Equivocally we acquiesce to the logical
Excitedly we catalog the impossible
Gradually we integrate the tangible

Alas we are forced to reconcile
With fables cut in stone
Science relearns forgotten edicts
We are not alone

We are in the presence of something far beyond us
Revise an ancient lesson - feel the change

We've forgotten more than we believe
In twelve thousand years
Edit history - Do not retrieve
Ecclesiastic fears

Every culture believes in visitation
So does archeology
Megaliths inscribed with synthetic creation
Foundations of the Promised Land

If envoys from Heaven converse in mathematics
Then science and religion are plays of old semantics

The scariest finding is not the signal's
Incomprehensibility
But the ominous local cosmic silence
The muting of the stars

The trappings of science stoke the primitive imagination
But the scrutiny of Giants could herald our devastation

Apocryphal texts full of hoary gods
Falling from the sky
Do not conform to the encouraged belief system
And neither will I
Not under silent skies

Our transgression will be to disbelieve undeniable signs
By sympathetic decree, we initiate the final paradigm
