Deep within the flesh
Of the world for generations
Awaiting their dormant reactors
To engage
Giving power to the exodus
Of the congregation
Exhuming the last vestiges
Up from their perfect graves
From the oceans
And the scorched earth
The godless shall arise
Lifting to celestial realms
Prepared to testify
The silent tell their secrets as well
Great legacies they remain
The dead messengers of Earth
Escape to the stars
To preserve what they contain
Seven million messengers for humanity
Swearing allegiance
To their grand design
First to discover the fate of the Earth
Never trusting life to a mythical god
Only fact and reason
Clinical suicide
Entombed in the ice
Raptured in the dirt
Until it is time
They will travel alone
From the place of their birth
To the edge of it all
Testament to our time
Each is imbued with the knowledge
Of our race
Some will collide with the stars
Many will perish in flame
Four million turned to dust
When the great destroyer came
Eons have passed 'til now
One thousand still remain
Surpassing all of time
Beyond the galaxies
Pure emptiness
Black silent complete
Negation nothingness
