The Great Expanse Lyrics

Products of the grand creator Inhabit this universe

In spectral dimensions, unfathomable to the human grasp
But they cannot be here, for the great expanse is much too vast

Across the dead region, none can go

No species will ever transverse the dark
Constructed, insurmountable from the start
Like a firefly lit in the night, its light diminishes and then out of sight

Out of reach before the flicker fades
Civilizations work this way

They rise, they fall, flourish, then become extinct
By the time you know they exist, they won’t

No persuasion can warp spacetime
But for the fallen angelic lifeline

They lurk, they hide like ghosts, indistinct
By the time you know they exist, it's too late

No persuasion can cross the black hole
But under fallen angelic control

They chose not to keep their first estate

Lightyears would take thousands of generations to overcome

Trying to harness power of a billion suns, it cannot be done
so they cannot be here, for the great expanse cannot be undone

Across the dead region, none can go

No species will ever transverse the dark
Constructed, insurmountable from the start
Like a firefly lit in the night, its light diminishes and then out of sight

Out of reach before the flicker fades
Civilizations work this way

They rise, they fall, flourish, then become extinct
By the time you know they exist, they won’t

No persuasion can warp spacetime
But for the fallen angelic lifeline

They lurk, they hide like ghosts, indistinct
By the time you know they exist, it's too late
