lyrics

Unknowable truths
are looming in the future
like spirits in observatory halls

Unthinkable truths
are looming in the future
like spirits in the hall

When we let them in
Through the door and then we begin
To reveal what once was unseen

The greatest minds
Well their work will shine a light
Yeah there's people out there and some day they're gonna get it right

And on the day of the dead
Three skeletons painted red
And the paint drips off, by the heat of the fire

Well I was hiding behind the tree alone
Watching the skeletons dancing
In a stop-motion technique
Like puppets with out strings

And the fire shined so brightly
Like a mirror on the wall
And I was hoping they didn't see me
But I was already invited

Open up the windows
In our souls and in our minds
And in the genius of our species
Surely there must be a means to
Our survival

The greatest minds
Well their work will shine a light
Yeah, there's people out there
someday they're gonna get it right
