Numen
Alkaloid Lyrics

Of all the worlds
Amidst the vast multitude of universes,

Like space dice hurled
Similar to cosmic dice cast through the cosmos,

Four of us made it to the core
A quartet of beings reached the center of existence,

Hailed our kin to come pouring in
We summoned our kindred to join us in this venture,

And come they did, by the crore
And they arrived in overwhelming numbers, millions strong,

Across eons, craving more
Throughout endless ages, driven by an insatiable desire for expansion.

Never lose momentum
Maintain our progress without faltering,

Dragging clusters with us,
Pulling along numerous cosmic clusters in our wake,

Star by exploding star
From one brilliant star's explosion to another, we advance,

We set the stage to assuage
We create an environment to alleviate hardship,

And fix the half-a-trillion-body problem
To solve the complex issues related to countless entities in motion.

Caustic gas moving fast
Corrosive gases travel at great speeds,

Bending world lines to our delight
Curving the fabric of space-time to our pleasure,

We have amassed, blast by blast,
We gather strength and energy with each explosion,

Let's meet the monster at last
Let us confront the colossal entity that awaits us.

Forging Elysium
Creating a paradise of our own design,

On a frail equilibrium
Set upon a delicate balance of forces,

Of radiation and gravity
Integrating the powers of light and gravitational pull,

We hatch the Dyson galaxy
We develop a new kind of galaxy influenced by Dyson's ideas.

Turn on the light
Illuminate the darkness, revealing the unknown,

Sending spirals to the giant
Projecting swirling patterns towards a colossal entity,

Turn on the light
Bring illumination to our surroundings,

With a swarm of singularities
Utilizing a multitude of black holes concentrated in one place,

Turn on the light
Let there be brightness to guide our path,

And never lose momentum
Continuously propel forward without hesitation,

Feed the monster
Nourish the immense force that drives our journey,

Turn on the light
Once more, bring clarity and vision to our surroundings.

Plasma soars from the poles
Superheated plasma shoots upward from the magnetic poles,

Incandescent spires climb the dark
Bright towers of light reach into the void,

Spacetime roars around black holes
The fabric of space-time resonates near immense gravitational forces,

Strung along prongs of light
Connected by beams of luminous energy,

In arcs of topology reborn
In newly formed geometrical structures that revive our surroundings,

Twining space into a lace of toroid horns
Intertwining dimensions into a complex framework of toroidal shapes.

Gargantuan tree of life
An immense structure symbolizing existence itself,

Colossal lucifer rising high
A towering beacon of light, a symbol of knowledge ascending,

From the starry plane
Emerging from a celestial backdrop filled with stars,

A seething hive, alive again
A vibrant, active entity, buzzing with energy and life.

Behold the mark we carve
Witness the imprint we create in the cosmos,

From raw continuum
Emerging from the fundamental essence of space-time,

Outshine the cosmos
Surpass the brilliance of the universe itself,

Invert the sky
Transform the heavens into something unrecognizable.

Curled into fugal vortices
Twisted into intricate whirling shapes of chaos,

The swarm now mines the ergosphere
The collective now extracts resources from the energy-rich zones around black holes,

Halo-driven sentinels swirl
Guardians powered by luminous halos spin in vigil,

Scatter to outrun expansion
Disperse to evade the relentless expansion of the universe.

Catch a ride to the Great Attractor
Seek the gravitational pull of a massive cosmic entity,

To colonize and breed
To settle and proliferate in new realms of existence,

More monsters throughout the sky
Creating countless new entities dotting the cosmos.

Pulsars and magnetars
Rapidly spinning neutron stars and powerful magnetic stars,

Dance with billowing zombie stars
Move in harmony with decaying stars, reminiscent of the undead,

Weaving fractal phenomena
Creating complex patterns that repeat infinitely through space,

While we wait for Andromeda
As we anticipate the approach of our galactic neighbor.

Turn on the light
Illuminate our surroundings once again,

Turning A* into a quasar
Transforming a black hole into an extraordinary luminous entity,

Turn on the light
Bring forth brightness to mark our progress,

In a shell of singularities
Encased within a layer of densely concentrated black holes,

Turn on the light
Once more, let there be illumination everywhere,

How they ooze momentum
Witness the fluid energy that surged from them,

From turbulent to laminar flow
Transitioning from chaotic energies to smooth, cohesive motion.

Concentric cortices accrete
Layer upon layer of swirling structures accumulate,

Stratum after monumental stratum closes in
Each significant layer presses closer to the core,

The lattice grows
The intricate framework of galactic shapes expands,

The galaxy contracts
The vast galaxy pulls inward, shaping itself.

A world
An entire universe,

Balanced on a pin
Stability maintained at precarious odds,

Lined up to bleed the monster
Aligned to draw energy from the vast dark force,

With its own glow
Utilizing the very light emitted by it.

Horizons mill
Cosmic boundaries shift and churn,

Eerily still
Suspended in unsettling calm,

A ballet in gravity collapse
A delicate dance amidst the crumbling forces of gravity.

As a star is to dirt
Just as a shining star rises from mere dust,

This will be to a star
This creation will transform into a brilliant celestial body,

It's getting dark in the Milky Way
Shadows gather within our own galaxy.

As our first sphere
When our initial structure reached its potential,

Engulfed the sun
It enveloped the sun in its embrace,

Now the galaxy veers
The entire galaxy alters its course,

In luminous display
Creating a spectacle of radiant beauty.

Numen
The divine essence we strive toward,

Clusters boil
Galactic aggregates swirl and churn with energy,

Thrusters toil
Propulsive mechanisms work tirelessly,

Oh how the constellations coil
Marvel at the way celestial patterns entwine.

Numen
The essence of divinity drawing us closer,

Spirals pour
Swirling shapes cascade downwards,

To the core
Journeying towards the very center of existence,

And thus we soar to Kardashev IV
In this way, we ascend towards a cosmic civilization of the highest order.

Numen
Once again, we acknowledge the divinity in our journey,

Thralling space
Captivating the very fabric of the cosmos,

At insane pace
Moving at a dizzying speed unimaginable to most,

The void succumbs to our embrace
The emptiness of space yields to our presence.

Numen
This essence signifies our connection to the divine,

Orbits climb
Paths of celestial bodies ascend higher,

Shrinking time
Compressing the very nature of time itself,

Chime the gravity bells for all to hear
Announce to the universe the significance of our achievements.

Numen
We affirm the sacred energy guiding us on this path,

God, Are you there
A call to the divine presence we seek,

For we come knocking at your door
We approach in search of connection and understanding.

Numen
This essence encapsulates our pursuit of the divine,

Our cage of yore
The limitations of our past,

Rends and roars
Breaks apart with a thunderous sound,

As we come crashing through your door
As we boldly enter this new realm of possibility.

Numen
The presence we revere as we push forward,

Coagulate coordinates
Consolidate our pathways through space and time,

Accelerate our escape
Speed up our journey beyond the confines of our reality.
