02 Our History Hidden 02:26
"What came before this?
Traces of a past unknown.
How could we be so blind to think,
Our history was written in stone?
Ignorance is bliss?
Hidden from us all this time.
Why were we meant to think like this?
Was this the truth we were destined to find?
Reaching for the stars.
For answers to the timeless mystery of our origin.
What is all this for?
Being on this planet,
Doesn’t seem like an accident.
Our History’s a lie.
Ancient civilizations thrived here before us.
Had they reached an apex point?
Had they been reset?
All wiped out to be forgotten.
Searching
Reaching
Hoping
Believing
Life, that familiar feeling.
Repeating, how many times have we done this before?
What set us in motion?
Who will decide,
When we have reached critical mass?
Why this deception?
The fabricated stories of our past.
What kept us believing?
Pull back the curtain,
And see who’s pulling the strings.
Searching
Reaching
Hoping
Believing
What came before this?
Traces of a past unknown.
How could we be so blind to think,
Our history was written in stone?
Ignorance is bliss?
Hidden from us all this time.
Why were we meant to think like this?
Was this the truth we were destined to find?
I know it’s out there.
The truth beyond stars.
I know it’s out there.
It must be out there"

"Hey! Creator!
Why have you summoned me here?
Why? Deceiver!
Hiding truths from worlds long gone.
I wanna know what came before!
KNEEL BEFORE US INSECT!
HOW DARE YOU MAKE DEMANDS OF GODS!
WE HAVE SUMMONED YOU HERE FOR A PURPOSE.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO BE AN ORACLE FOR YOUR RACE.
YOU ARE ALL BUT WORKER DRONES.
CULTIVATING YOUR PLANET FOR OUR ARRIVAL.
THAT IS THE ONLY SIGNIFICANCE TO YOUR FEEBLE EXISTENCE.
THE CARETAKERS OF OUR NEXT HOME
I, Believer!
Will do your bidding oh great ones.
You, destroyers!
What happened to life before mine?
Why? Confuser!
Did you put an end to our progress?
THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS OF MANKIND WILL ALWAYS HIT A BARRIER.
YOUR RACE WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO FLOURISH BEYOND A FINITE POINT.
ONCE IT IS REACHED CIVILIZATION WILL BE EXTINGUISHED AND RESET.
YOUR EVOLUTION WILL NEVER REACH A HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS.
YOU EXIST FOR US AND BECAUSE OF US,
TO BE USED AS TOOLS AND DISCARDED.
YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A THREAT TO US!
YOUR TIME WITH US IS AT AN END ORACLE.
(fuck)
NOW GO!
NOW GO!
RETURN HOME!
RETURN HOME!"
