Born inside a vault The sky's been dead too long All our energy's expended for survival In a twist of fate We have learned to tame The force of gravity to bring a brand new era The Sun will nourish us again The dark will never bring the end Lifted cities high Above the darkened sky To form a ring around the source of all our power Centuries after dark We've enclosed the Sun In a Dyson sphere the system is devoured The Sun will nourish us again The dark will never bring the end We bury the Sun to stay alive Sustained by its white undying light And as the Sun turns red We salute its end As we now traverse the universal circle The Sun will nourish us again The dark will never bring the end We bury the Sun to stay alive Sustained by its white undying light Millennia will pass as we ascend The earth is not where we'll meet our end Let the building of this structure Be a warning to you all You may bury all your systems But may never build a wall In the dead of space unfolding Darker than the blackest hole Swallowing light and yielding power Our tale's yet to be told The Sun will nourish us again The dark will never bring the end We bury the Sun to stay alive Sustained by its white undying light Millennia will pass as we ascend The earth is not where we'll meet our end
