lyrics

Upon request
the scientific council
issues you
to research the magnetic field residing
on Erebus 2

As I approach the site,
I feel a static current
running up and down my spine.
When I see what lays ahead,
I know the reason why.

This dark slab before me stands towards the sky.
No light reflected.
Commanding. Imposing.
Pure silence emitted.
Yet, it speaks to me;
The monolith.

Electronic implants
just below my skin
pick up a signal.
My hair stands on edge.

Yet, no one is here except me.

What makes up this creature?
Not skin nor steel nor stone.
This pure dark mass invites me.
I present my hand.

The second I make contact, the monolith uploads
the history of its people to my skull.

A type V civilization
mortal as you or I,
found an eternal way to survive

Their bodies long turned dust
Their consciousness still lives
implanted deep within the monolith.

Colonizing planets
then self-replicating;
Eternal masters from another time.

Now I see our fate before me.
We become machine.
