Shores of the Cosmic Ocean [First Demo]

Floating in a Supernova

All guitars.
Music by The Chameleons / Original lyrics by Mark Burgess

I shake my head and shiver
They smile
And stab my back as they shake my hand
Send out an SOS plea
Come quickly
I'm marooned in monkeyland.
Is there anyone there
Who understands me?
Anyone at all?

I'm idly staring at the sky
Did anybody hear me sigh?
A million stars are a moving sight
To all you out there
Hearing me tonight
It's just a trick of the light

I have to know what is real
And what is illusion
Tell me how does it feel
Beyond this confusion?
Is there anyone there?

Do I dismiss this with a sigh?
Suppose I must from time to time
And let the answers pass me by
More questions set to bend the mind
Is my creator a God or a man?
Yes yours too
Does someone somewhere
Care and understand?
It's just a trick of the light

I have to know what is real
And what is illusion
Tell me how does it feel
Beyond this confusion?
Is there anyone there?

God's are optical illusions
Like other optical illusions
Oh beware
Beware

The Universe: Unveiled [Instrumental]

The Demon-Haunted World [Instrumental Demo]

"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

― Carl Sagan, Cosmos


Lyrics:

(Verse)
The universe
Is all there is
Or ever was
Or will ever be

Far beyond our galaxy
Approaching the greatest mystery
When we look up into the night
Filled with 400 billion points of light
Do we even understand why?

(Chorus)
We are a way, we are a way
We are a way, for the universe
To know...

(Verse)
The dust of stars
From which we're formed
Atomic scars
We were adorned

One celestial chemistry
Shaped the course of history
The cosmos within you and I
We're children of the earth and sky
Only because the stars once died
We're alive

[Bridge]

(Chorus)
We are a way, we are a way
We are a way for the universe
We are a way, we are a way
For the universe to know
Itself

We are a way
We are a way
We are the way
To know
