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
