The Guest Songtext

von Aurora Sutra

After centuries of human existence a question arose
They asked themselves:"what is the purpose of everything?
What is the sense of the sun which shines upon us?
What is the sense of their murderous urge for expansion?
What is the sense of love which concilates us all?"
So they built a brain
Its purpose was to find the answer to their question
100000 years passed by without finding the answer
They decided to place it in hyperspace
They improved it so that it became 1000 times more intelligent
The computer mused but the question stayed unanswered
700000 years passed by
The human race had spread out throughout the entire galaxy
Again they asked it to give them the answer
But the disappointment grew as it asked for even more intelligence
To find the answer
They humbled its wish as it was wise
They constructed it anew
Only out of atoms and molecules it existed in the 7th dimension
They hoped for an answer because the frustration about their
Senseless life grew stronger
1000000 years later when only 10000 humans were left
Separated from their bodies
Only wandering through the universe in spirit
The evolution had brought them to the verge of extinction
They asked it without hope if it could tell the last survivors
The sense of living on
The computer yet demanted a bit more time
The humans lost the will to live and commited suicide
Out of the 7th dimension he observed everything
And mused and mused
The universe was near its end
Throughout billions of years it slowly grew darker
As at last the last sun burst apart and everything
Was dark, cold and dead he was near by turning himself off
When out of the last corner of his intergalactical brain
The solution and answer to all arose
And he said:"there shall be light"

...and there was light!
