The wonder of it all was almost too much to bear
When we were Type Zero
Clever monkeys gazing at the magical stars
Primates with a need to achieve
We broke down the atom
We tampered with the FIELDS
Our ephemeral dance with the Devil
We connected the continents and harnessed the sun
We survived to become Type One
We lived beyond war
We lived to explore
Riding the Solar Winds
We had only just begun to imagine
We flung ourselves into the void
Into that unrelenting blackness
A Type Two civilization
Alas, we thrive
Let go our mother Earth
The ties of life we sever
The planet of our birth
Falls behind us forever
Seeds across the light years
We set sail
Riding Galactic Winds
Now Type Three - we cannot die
Breaching the corporeal womb
Extinction denied
We spread across the cosmos
Unified
Riding Universal Winds
Into the void forever and ever and ever
