lyrics

Flash of light refracting through the churning waves, crackling as it hits the volcanic pool. Bubbles burst releasing particles into the volatile mixture of primordial brew.

Elements mingling, writhing, and migrating. Constantly colliding into one another.
Patterns forming within the random reactions. Stable substances latching onto each other.

Shielding each other from the barrage. Cycling through the primeval collage.
Patterns form within the cycles of hydration, forming a repeating chemical reaction.

Atomic energies must be exchanged, as the molecules are rearranged.

Procedures form within this new construct, to keep the debts of creation paid.
To resist the fade that time exacts and build upon that which it lacks.
Honing the balance within. Building more complexity.
Breaking the rigidity, adopting flexibility.

The proteins have now synthesized. Integrating willfully.
Membranes protracting to adhere. Dividing methodically.

Cellular. Emergence. Find a way in the disarray. Mitigating the decaying-

Of, intrinsic decomposition. Defying universal machinations.
Biochemical processes automating. An elemental incarnation rising.

Atomic energies must be exchanged, as the molecules are rearranged.

Procedures form within this new construct, to keep the debts of creation paid.
To resist the fade that time exacts and build upon that which it lacks.

Flash of light refracting through the churning waves, crackling as it hits the volcanic pool. Bubbles burst releasing particles into the volatile mixture of primordial brew.
