Why can't you see the lights Flashing every turn so bright I can't take away my sight Permanently lost this mind Following the stars Countless equations of these rotations Still we are not really self aware So gods were invented by confused and stranded In contemplations of their glare The followers of the path Can finally leave it All the lights above Could guide through the oceans But they are not enough To show where do we belong now So stay there Stay where you are Have we ever been following the stars Instead of our own voices I wish you could see that we're not even close Chasing our lost safety I'm drawing the lines in the sky Tracking the motions of stars As I fall back deeper into the void

It seemed so real How could I be wrong How could this deception last for so long No one, no one would believe me They can't they can not conceive the things that I've seen With nothing there behind the eyes Distracted by the smoke we've covered our eyes And turned away from fires that have burnt around Devoured by authorities and straggled by the rule Not much has left of will and strive for anything at all I've seen them moving in this quiet pace With such precision and such grace Maybe I'm too weak to say who's the hunter who's the prey Maybe we don't need to stay away from the dreamers Aberrations of the light, constellations moving out of sight I have seen enough Until the crystal spheres collapse We'll have to let the ages pass Until the crystal spheres collapse We'll have to let it go, the ignorance is blessed This is much more than a man can bear And I've never known that one could even dare To look in the eyes of this endless depth It swallows me and takes away my breath

Satellites 05:20
We've built the cities and the walls to mark the place where we exist We've said that Sun sat down and rose and to this day we still persist But how does it feel to see ourselves on another scale Where all this greatness dies and where we don't prevail I don't think that we could last so long to leave a solid trace From all of our hopes there isn't one that time could not erase And everything moves along these rings as history unfolds And we'll take our rest on solar winds that carry us home That's shifted to the outskirts, cast away from the spotlight We've been holding on to this place like it's firm But it's moving 'round in circles like a satellite We move in circles as ages pass like grains of sand in the ocean waves Being a part of something so vast is to us nothing but a disgrace So we grasp whatever hands can reach trying hard to show That we are the masters of this tiny place that we call home As I reach out for tomorrow I feel today slips right though my fingers
5.
Anxiety is burning me inside I'm staring deeper with eyes opened wide The laws are set, the movements scripted, the variations are dismissed But if the chance has been restricted, then does the choice itself exist Is there a way to live in peace being a part of the machine We never cared to see we are the smallest cogs Rotating endlessly inside this perfect clock We churn each other up in ruthless fights for oil The movement never stops, we kill to get the spoil The gears are turning on not letting us to see That we are not alone, just trying hard to be I'm just a part of the machine, who would confide this world to me We'll never care to see we are the smallest cogs Destroying everything inside this perfect clock
6.
Gravity 05:29
So this is how it feels to breathe in and this is how it feels to be alive We were always safer than we thought until now so Stay with me until the night covers us both Hold your breath, we are imponderable Satellites wander around far from home We can finally lose this burden and heat of day Watching as planets go 'round With a light-speed we crash into every moment of our lives For the first time we can see each other with wide open eyes What if the gravity just stops holding us Would we still be together as one What if I don't believe that I have to stay As close to the ground as I'm now What if the gravity is gone, would you still hold me just as strong Here in the middle of nowhere without all the blinding lights I can see that everything looks different and now we've got nothing to hide Now we can feel what was once imperceptible Now we can fly as fast as we want Now there is nothing left unacceptable, as we're close enough, if we're close enough I thought we could never leave this place but now it seems to fade away Only in the open space we can feel the gravity between you and me
7.
Timescale gets dilated, we move at the speed of light Until all those signals become indistinctable Where do we go from here, do we run away And when the sky is clear, is it safe to stay This power is too much to hold until we measure lives with gold Fearless dreamers set the people free But only winners can write the history Smallest pieces bear the greatest force But what is this, a blessing or a curse Now that we reveal these endless possibilities How much do we value a quantum of humanity Where do we go from here, do we run away And when the sky is clear, is it safe to stay This power is too much to hold, some secrets have to stay untold
8.
Origin Locus 05:14
The greatest secret is kept forever from our eyes So one can just surmise I think it might be the reason we breathe The reason we keep this fire bright I think it might be the reason we fight The reason we lock ourselves inside Moving faster through the space and time Washed away by another tide Catching light from pieces of the past Where the hearts and the minds collide Perfection never was enough Each theory aches to be proven wrong Should I believe or should I doubt Should I submit or should I flout Was I contrived, did I evolve How come this quarrel hasn't yet been solved The time is lost in all of these meaningless fights Couldn't open our eyes to see that everything is Moving faster through the space and time Washed away by another tide Catching light from pieces of the past Where the hearts and the minds collide The mind can't comprehend the meaning of immensity Still wasting lives for these pointless fights There must be something that has started it all out And drowning in the outer space, reflecting light from distant stars We'll shine our way through this and heal those everlasting scars
9.
It started without a reason And now the competition is on Only the strongest survive Taking lives to stay alive Keeping in my chest pieces of the Sun Anxious for success, what have I become From species and to the nations Deliberate extirpation is on Sinking teeth into the bone Trying to reclaim the throne Is this the right way to move on Feeding on the weak Crushing everything on the path How long the world can let it last Spreading like a pest Bringing this world down What will emerge next Fighting for the crown
10.
All the arrogance ceases with a glance from a distant point Indiscernible, everything we've ever known Enemies and friends make their foolish plans sinking in the pride Wasting breath about how much do we think we own Faintly it's shining through the night It's almost out of sight We've made it out this far All of the beacons will subside It gets too dark outside To find out where we are So what the consequences are going to be if The short-time thinking and conceit prevail This is our last stand against the vanity No one could save us from ourselves This is our last stand against the vanity There is no one to save us from ourselves In the end we stare at the skyline where we can't define ourselves Waiting modestly for a sign
11.
How can i seal this void sucking me dry It hurts to breathe growing inside I have never felt so lost without my fears Delusions that made me believe That time won't last forever We fling ourselves away To settle for these deceptive lives But everything we need Was right before our unwilling eyes Bridges beneath did not last enough To lead us further, don't plead we won't go on Something good to live for or something good to die for It's all in your head, how much are you willing to share Do you still believe that everything is as they told you This gleaming void will tell you everything you'd like to hear It whispers silently violently anything to keep you numb But time won't last forever Just like before you stay away from the light There's no meaning in any word Doesn't matter how much you've heard There's no meaning in any word

about

dep·o·si·tion (dp-zshn)
n.
1. The act of deposing someone; removing a powerful person from a position or office
2. The act of depositing, especially the laying down of matter by a natural process.
3. Something deposited; a deposit.
4. Sworn testimony recorded for use in court at a later date.
5. "Deposition" The removal of Jesus from the cross.

This record tells a story of an intelligent civilization that is gradually becoming aware of itself and its place in the universe. Each song represents a step in perceiving the nature of things that increases the scale of known universe, making an individual less and less significant.
It is a message to any other species telling that it is possible to overcome greed, selfishness, ignorance and superstition and to prosper in knowledge, love and peace.
