Observe the universe
Ask interesting questions
Conduct research
Formulate hypotheses
Design experiments
Analyze the findings
Reject, revise
Repeat and draw conclusions
Describe what patterns can be discerned
Explain what factors dictate behavior
Predict what good or ill might unfold
Control – Yes, let's seize fate by the throat!
Go catalog cosmos
Leave no stone unturned
Cram into a model; all that is seen
Closing the gaps
Shrinking (the) gods
We're bringing to form an age of intellect
Defy dogmas
Liberate inquiry
Transcend paradigms
Go wherever evidence is leading
All will be known by Man alone
Reaching for our own divinity
Humbug!
Hubris!
Your scalpel of reason is laying bare
The dagger of Nemesis
She will come awake – Repent!
Come celebrate
(The) wonders of Man
Hubris!
Wretched ego!
Come celebrate enlightenment
Welcome into a brave new world

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs. gebs
