Lyrics:
Cataclysmic pole shift and I walk through all time.
There's no time on this organic spinning sphere.
And now the rock formed fossil of ancient time.
The human blue print left footprints.
Continental plate drift over hot magma planes
With a belly full of babies.
A beauty bearing fruit.
She's sailing the cosmic sea.
Birth and nourish us, traveling passengers.
Flipping, pole shifting.
She used to play her drums with,
starlight and flower breathe.
He tried to take it all away.
We're aware of the pagan ways.
I'm not getting caught up in that illusion game.
He tried to strip her beauty away.
He tried to burn her to a stake.
He thinks she still serves as a slave.
Can his power really take it all away?
Melt down, break down,
Sentenced and accused as a witch.
Yet he worships the goddess.
He is the goddess and the god.
There is no duality,
If there is "the one"
and only "the one"
Infinite!
Infinite!
Melt down, break down!
Melt down, break down!
Out of control
Organic spinning sphere
Micro of the massive
Chaos spinning sphere.
On her way to see her seven sisters.
Chaos spinning sphere.
Burning to fizz out.
One quick shiver to melt down.
Melt down, break down!
