/// Lyrics:
I was only two days old
When the violent, flashing horrors started creeping in
It was an ordinary sin
I just couldn’t sleep
So I dreamed while I was awake
Wet my blankets in a common void
Under faded fresco of shooting stars on the mission floor
I saw what universe was for
It had all just begun
Somehow, I’m 31
And Theia brings me an angel carved from exploding sun
Now, how did I deserve that love?
Was it all too much truth?
So I dreamed while I was awake
Walked for miles through my common void
Toward an ocean, swelled up a rising tide
Through my fading core
By then I was 34
I was not yet done
--- Chapter 6: "The Rise of the Integratron"

/// Lyrics:
We’re sitting here right now on a spaceship that we call the earth
Traveling a thousand miles an hour on its axis
yet we register no sign of movement
We’re riding on this planet, it’s our ship.
We were put on it for a purpose, for a purpose, for a purpose,
These latter days are here.
- George Van Tassel, 1956
