The Paradox (Cataclysm 3b) Lyrics


setting down right next to ours, an identical ship

every dimension matching my design in every way

as the hatch opens, figures start to walk out

in shock we gaze as familiar faces emerge

what is this, a mirror image?

can't believe what's before our eyes

must be trickery, deception

who could trick us here, now, why?

the faces we see right before us are our own

each of us staring into the face of older versions

my older self begins to explain

we're billions of years in the past where life begins on earth

striking the beast triggered time-flux

threw us back to this point in time

and we took the beast as well

but it's trapped in the time-stream

suddenly we're somewhere else, another place another time

it all begins to change so fast, different points throughout history

even our older selves are shocked, saying this did not happen before

we fear this is not the time-stream, it seems we've caused a paradox

Robert solo

Dan solo

Vin solo

Faster and faster, changing, spinning images

sickness engulfs us as we spew out our guts

hoping it stops soon, where and when will it end?

will we be dead or imprisoned in this hell?

striking the beast triggered time-flux

threw us back to this point in time

and we took the beast as well

but it's trapped in the time-stream

faster, faster, spinning visions

imprisoned in this nightmare

but now it all fades to black

I see nothing but darkness
