Across the ocean far to the West, the android Norman has landed and begins his final transformation to return to the stars.
lyrics
Falling like a whisper from a darkened summer sky.
I land upon the fields of emerald,
Onto a static high.
I left my world behind me, circuits failing fast.
Left alone with no conception for me,
The boundaries never last.
White pillars stand before me, on this ancient shore
Time's eternal gateway to,
What has passed before.
My thoughts expand around me searching out this place.
Seeking for connections like me,
A soul with no embrace.
My light receptors scan the atmospheric haze.
As I ponder my existence,
This eternity of days.
I feel a new vibration eminating from the ground.
A polyphony of photons,
A kaleidescope of sound.
Other beings now surround me, their infancy is at hand.
Strange travelers just arriving,
Guided towards this land.
Their magic flows about them, the Aether growing strong
The Noldor shape the forests,
Gaining power from their song.
The music passes through me, the program is undone
I start the final movement,
Guided to the Sun.
I trespass across the celebration of vibrant poetry.
Transparent Songs of Wisdom,
To evolve and be free.
And what they were,
And what they lost,
When they began,
From what they are,
All that I know,
All that I feel,
Shall return to the stars........
