Supernova ft. Nassim Arastoopour Lyrics

Thank you

For everything you taught me

The knowledge you brought here with you

I am proud that I was your apprentice

And understand all this

Unlike you I was born in this galaxy

Only know of the crash from your tales

Rest assured I'll continue your legacy

And make sure our race prevails

So I stand here today on the precipice

Of a breakthrough discovery

It is time to test a hypothesis

That is truly hard to believe

Measurements show

There's a discrepancy

In your technology

Where the time

Between departure and arrival

Does not align

Laws of the universe defied

To a very small degree

We need high energy

So far results were minuscule

A little more

And we might just bend the rules

This has been quite the journey

A lot of learning

Ever since we arrived

I don't know if there is an afterlife

But if you can see this

I hope you are proud

Of your apprentice

Power

We're using all the power

Rerouted it all from the city

They were hardly appreciative

But in the end they'll agree

This experiment takes priority

I've been restless since your alert

While results supported your theory

The implications are absurd

Put the cores in place

Activate

Let it boot and calibrate

Send the probe on its way

Our eyes survey

There's a negative delay

Oh what does it mean

The data verifies

What your report implies

What we just witnessed here

Did surely break causality

How far can we take this

How far can we go

Well if we had more power

We could aim for a much higher interval

However the requirements

Grow exponentially

The only way to get this energy

Would be a supernova

Well can we make one

Are you mad

Can we make one

On second thought perhaps

We could make a supernova

Let us make one

Let us make one

Let's create one

Let's create

Our very own supernova

Supernova

Supernova

We will make a supernova

I can't wait what we may find

I'll forge the core you set the time

We will define

And bring online

Our design

To cause a supernova

Wait

I am sorry to interrupt

But is this really what we want

Is this really what we do

I'm aware we've always pushed boundaries

And went sometimes beyond

Beyond in the name of science

And technology

I am also intrigued by what we could learn

But there's an ethical concern

This entire system would be lost

Its annihilation for our sake

Is too severe a cost

Reconsider the path we're about to take

We must explore other options

This one is a mistake

My friend, I understand to an extent

As do I

But it is paramount that we find the eye

You don't have to tell me

I'm well aware of our mission

And why our clan came here

However

This isn't just some system devoid of life

This is our home too

Where we grew up and thrived

We came way too far to just blow it all up

Show some gratitude

This place has been good to us

Be that as it may

Remember our purpose

There must be a conventional way

Perhaps one will be found some day

But not in our lifetime

Ah this can't be the case

I've done the calculations over and over

And let me guess

We need a supernova

Supernova

Supernova

We will make a supernova

Is there truly nothing else that's viable

All other options are too unreliable

The data showed

We can take this road

Compel the sun to explode

In a supernova

Well then

It seems I am outnumbered

If this is the will of the majority

I will partake

Although I disagree

May my skills provide assistance in

The construction that must be done

My advice would be to build something

In low orbit of the sun

Let us plan to have it operative

Let's advance to the next stage

A chance to see the apocalypse

And live to tell the tale

This has been quite the journey

A lot of learning

And so much more to come

We don't know what the future holds for us

But let us move on
