Boundless? Lyrics by Blake Hodgetts

Blindsight

2003

Soft in the corridors, light as a cat
I prowl in the night
Seeking the long-hidden portal to gaze at the sight
Cold as a liquid crystal they burn
As round their circle they turn
Full of their mysteries no-one can learn
Indifferent pinpoints of light
(CHORUS:)
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
I am in school and it's here with my class
My future is made
Physics, electromechanics, the tools of my trade
We have no doubts of our destiny
A Core Technician I'll be
To work for the Ship and for what she grants me
But some tenets must be obeyed
(CHORUS:)
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Uncounted times I have heard it explained
The Ship is our place
Here we were born, here we die, it's the home of our race
Who made the Ship? That's not ours to know
So many ages ago
Thus I've been taught, I suppose that it's so
But sometimes there's doubt in a face
(CHORUS:)
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
I am a seeker by nature, it seems
I yearn to explore
I have found secrets that challenge my soul to ignore
Pinpoints of light--the least of my fears
This puzzle far stranger appears
A plate bearing numbers and labeled as "years"
Reads one hundred seventy-four
(CHORUS:)
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Why this discovery shook my foundations
I must here relate
When I first found it its import did not seem so great
Imagine my thoughts the day I arrived
Having been one year longer alive
To find the last digit was no longer "five"...
What is our implacable fate?
(CHORUS:)
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Here is my struggle: how can I continue
To bear this alone?
There must be reason and meaning in what I've been shown
Though I have gone to places taboo
Soon I must guide others there too
We may never learn what we're counting down to
But some truths have got to be known
(CHORUS:)
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
Hear me oh, hear me oh
There's a hundred and seventy-four years to go
