  • All that is, was and will be
    Universe much too big to see
    Time and space never ending
    Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
    Limitations of human understanding
    Too quick to criticize
    Obligation to survive
    We hunger to be alive yeah

    (Twisting turning through the never)
    All that is, ever, ever was
    Will be ever
    Twisting, turning
    Through the never

    In the dark, see past our eyes
    Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
    Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
    On a quest, meaning, reason
    Came to be, how it begun
    All alone in the family of the sun
    Curiosity teasing everyone
    On our home, third stone from the sun

    (Twisting turning through the never)
    All that is, ever, ever was
    Will be ever
    Twisting, turning
    Through the never

    (On through the never) we must go
    (On through the never)
    Out of the edge of forever
    We must go (on through the never)
    Then ever comes

    (Twisting turning through the never)
    All that is, ever, ever was
    Will be ever
    Twisting, turning
    Who we are
    Ask forever
    Twisting turning
    Through the never

  • Zero from Nowhere, NjThis song is about the never-ending quest for human knowledge. Also, does anyone else hear a resemblance to the Pantera song "Shattered"? (I'm not saying they ripped them off, it just sounds similar)
