For there is a purpose and reason   Beyond all human apprehension   The shrieking silence in the blackness of space      For there is a knowledge more complex   Than life on this planet   A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars      Lunar strain      All across the milky way   Life suffers defeat   Life that once was treasured      What once was nothing   Has blossomed into form   Once it was I that was nothing   But now they say I will die      All across the galaxy   Life suffers defeat      Lunar strain      From nothing less to reality as we see it   From nothing less to life, my dismal tears of anguish   Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven   Loneliness is pain      Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain   Serenity is might   Yet we shall be honored   In the star forsaken night      Astral strain   All around my silent moon   Life suffers defeat      Astral strain      For there is a purpose and reason   Beyond all human apprehension   The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
