""We're nothing more than shadows Light scatter of the dying sun Just particle beams in passing Waves riding the eternal dark We're nothing more than shadows Mere remnants of the distant past Animated sparks of energy Bursting flames of the end And far upon the skies Lies the truth within We are shadows of the dying sun Children of infinity Always gazing to our past We are the dust of the stars And I feel it in my heart And I know it in my mind That's all that we'll be We're nothing more than shadows We grow tall then fade away We're vessels for a surging power With solar fire in our veins We're nothing more than shadows Flares blazing in a blink of an eye We're nothing more than shadows Glimmers of hope against the black sky And far upon the skies Lies the truth within We are shadows of the dying sun Children of infinity Always gazing to our past We are the dust of the stars And I feel it in my heart And I know it in my mind That's all that we'll be We're the dust of the stars""

This was written in the booklet: And this is how it all ends. One of the first songs I got finished pretty much by accident. The first demo had only these couple of riffs and I as not really sure what to make of it. I think it was Niilo who suggested that maybe it could become this long hypnotic song that repeats the same basic pattern throughout the song. And after couple of tweaks and small adjustments it was pretty much there. The song title also became the album title bit later. The story of the song is firmly rooted to science but dressed in a form of a poem. Lyrics say it all. V. Friman
