Impossible Universe Songtext
von Journey Into Darkness

Infinitely dense, no dimension
No surroundings, no extension
After nothing, before something
Expansion started, energy gushing

What was before
Was it eternally dark
Or is time cyclic
Without a start

In an instant the universe started
Did it happen before? Or was this uncharted
Many years later particles condensed
Out of nothing matter was dispensed

What was before
Was it eternally dark
Or is time cyclic
Without a start


A canvas of infinity
With particle affinity
Fields of force pervade all space
Pushing matter at a hastened pace

Each atom each particle
From the beginning
Has existed in our world
Where did it exist before

How is there space
How is there matter
How does anything exist at all
We cannot comprehend nothing

A single point to a giant sphere
14 billion years to make it here

What was before
Was it eternally dark
Or is time cyclic
Without a start

Astronomical nomenclature
Try to define forces of nature
Try to explain by formula
Mysterious phenomena


Everything we experience
Everything we see
Is nothing more
Than our perception

A limited narrow view
Of an infinite universe
Incomprehensible
To our minds

But it does not stop me
From wondering how it came to be
To look into the eyes of eternity
Let my mind wander to be free
