Verse
In the sound of the wind she hears a song that’s never ending
Raven tilts her wing, black bird flies on light.
Rides a vision of truth thermal spiral of thinking
From data to meaning lifting to the starry night
Pre-chorus
Evolution’s weaving atoms, helix spins, pattern breaks, begins again
Chorus
She shows it is true, Alpha man shrieks, “you’re wrong, naive, you’re lying!”
She speaks, it is true! Alpha man sneers, “You fool, it’s not alarming”
She proves it is true, then Alpha man struts, “It’s my idea, there’s no denying”
Then he calls it Science and he calls it’s his own.
Verse
Truth unfolds in dreams, moon lights a path to reason,
Dark trail to her study, solitude a prison.
Her love is by her side, world is in their vision
Evolution soars upon dark wing beats of selection.
Pre-chorus
Evolution’s weaving atoms, helix spins, pattern breaks, begins again
Chorus
She shows it is true, Alpha man shrieks, “you’re wrong, naive, you’re lying!”
She speaks, it is true! Alpha man sneers, “You fool, it’s not alarming”
She proves it is true, then Alpha man struts, “It’s my idea, there’s no denying”
Then he calls it Science and he calls it’s his own.
Verse
Wings of Darwin’s idea beat RNA, then stumble
Broken, mend and rise, Spike’s up, a faster tempo.
Wings of Darwin’s idea, AUCG then jumble
Broken, mend and rise Covid’s wave, a growing shadow
Pre-chorus
Evolution’s weaving atoms, helix spins, pattern breaks, begins again
Chorus
She shows it is true, Alpha man shrieks, “you’re wrong, naive, you’re lying!”
She speaks, it is true! Alpha man sneers, “You fool, it’s not alarming”
She proves it is true, then Alpha man struts, “It’s my idea, there’s no denying”
Then he calls it Science and he tweets it’s his own.
Outro
Death knocks at the door, somber Alpha coolly tallies.
All the times he invited Death in.
