When the Universe Spoke - Soilwork

Megalithic and ancient

Of unknown origin

The long dead disciples

Their bones now dust

And scattered in the wind

These fragments of a soul

Like specks of sentient will

Black matter fills the void

Of all that can be killed

Blank-faced enigma

Nurturing stars

Residual carbon

Is all that we are

At first there is nothing

And then it unfolds

Evolves into something

No one can control

The ones who forgot us

When the dam finally broke

Were longing for silence

When the universe spoke

The eloquence in sadness

Of uncompromised loss

From a temporal riptide

To a cancerous growth

As all the lines are crossed

Time is the immortal continuum

Death is this subconscious design

The relentless scavenger of galaxies

Will not cease or devolve

Blank-faced enigma

Nurturing stars

Residual carbon

Is all that we are

At first there is nothing

And then it unfolds

Evolves into something

No one can control

The ones who forgot us

When the dam finally broke

Were longing for silence

When the universe spoke

Deflect to the warship

Cease and desist

The ones that we fought for

Are no longer missed

No

At first there is nothing

And then it unfolds (Then it unfolds)

Evolves into something

No one can control

The ones who forgot us

When the dam finally broke (Dam finally broke)

Were longing for silence

When the universe, universe spoke
