Gregory - Progeny Lyrics

Hello from the children of planet Earth
Are we a Divine inspiration or but a mere fascination?

There are dark forms squinting through the void
Vile things this frail world must utterly avoid
The continuance of peace is a mandated separation
Extending an open hand we risk our planets amputation

How do we define our synthetic presence here?
Born of the Earth, the enhancements are clear
For thousands of years we have been refined
The Anunnaki improving our genetic line

We are the product of accelerated evolution
We are ordained to take to the stars
Destiny calls us to leave this world behind
And seek the Obligate Host

Heaven screams to us below
Eyes to the sky; Learn and go!
By our very design we need to know
That we are not alone

Mankind In Extremis
Progenitors in absentia

Is this all we know?
That is all we were told

We have all but forgotten our history
Columbus sailed and a continent fell into misery
If they come, there will be gods among us (again)
Strict benevolence is nothing less than quarantine

As Lords of temerity, we are sanctioned
To stave off another Maunder Minimum
Shorn by severity, we are anxious
To breed through the far millenniums

We launch into vastness
The virus spreads or dies
Seeds upon the celestial wind
A tempest plague in disguise

In these haunted hours left unto us
We still covet hatred, fear, and lust
We seek to breech biology
Horrified, we return to dust

We blast off
SHEMs to the cosmic sea
Primate fear cast off
Behold Humanity unleashed!

The Purveyors of Provenance we are seeking
To answer for our being
No longer confined to a single star
The Universe is singing

A chorus of consumption
Of predators and prey
We live by the grace of a naïve assumption
That the gods still want to play

The bitter maledictions of a tethered goat
We have announced ourselves
We are no longer hidden in vacuum
The children of Earth proclaim
We are on our way to greet our makers!
So let us pray...
