An Ember's Arc lyrics

It began, as these things do From clouds in the aether With untold time, they coalesced Their will apart grew weaker This cascade of embers Fused into a star's ignition A crucible for their collapse Seething crux of its ambition The axiom of this expanse Unrelenting pressure Every moment, in each place Collisions beyond measure An ordinary pair that met Whilst merging into one Heaved and spat a mote of light Adrift within the Sun Without a bind, it cut away Against all else it stood As swift as anything that was And had, or could, that would The axiom when it began Unable to elude Every moment, in each place Destroyed, exchanged, renewed At the surface once emerged Radiant in birth Free at last, its final form The photon dashed for Earth
