Procession

A cradle Earth, horizons unseen New world in thirst for the arcane We are singers of the gone We remember, as along came life A cradle Earth, horizons unseen Birth of one and a zillion sideshows We are, we were and will not be We remember, as along came acorn Another birth, another moss green New world in thirst for the unseen An empty zoo, a starlight vigil Will have a visit, as along came heartbeat Another birth, another monster Endless forms towards the stronger Menagerie of a new world order We held our breath, as along came suffering We remember Father Pikaia Gave the way, as along came Sapien The cradle Earth, welcoming its newborn Aeons since that very first acorn Together now, in this timeless parade The living lie, dead afraid Then they saw the moon and found caring We remember, as along came writing Such worlds were there, zoos dead again After all, we should've never appeared Spaceship Earth through the fields of time They understood, as along came wisdom We have been here, here a while At the end of Pi, as along came harvest We will remember all the suffering We wrote this in a tongue you will understand Words and melodies with a touch of colouring We were there and will remember mankind Our kin Aeons ago --- Procession - Nightwish
