Procession

Lyrics by：Tuomas Holopainen

Composed by：Tuomas Holopainen

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

We'll 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 farther the 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 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
