[Verse 1]
Growing, years of reforming
Reshaping the ways
Capable of responding to change
Flowing in between spaces
In which only few dare to venture
And fewer return
[Refrain]
Slowly morphing
Into something more
[Chorus]
To live, they must learn to adapt
Entering stasis, replacing water with glass
Showing traces of traits
Remaining in places
Inhospitable and dangerous
[Refrain]
Slowly morphing
Into something more
[Verse 2]
Swirling whirlpool of genes
Primordial stewing
Developing skills to survive the extreme
Stowing deep and away
Freezing or searing
Or ejected into the vacuum of space
[Refrain]
Slowly morphing
Into something more
[Chorus]
To live, they must learn to adapt
Entering stasis, replacing water with glass
[Guitar solo 1: Greg Burgess]
[Post-Chorus]
They will adapt
[Guitar solo 2: Greg Burgess]
[Guitar solo 3: Michael Stancel]
[Bridge]
Thrown
Into the open
Shores
From where is born
Hope
For long-surviving hosts
[Outro]
Swirling whirlpool of means
To ends out of reach
Developing will to overcome the extreme
The will to overcome the extreme
