The Scientist’s Lament

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] In the dim-lit lab, where equations dance, I unravel time’s threads, seeking cosmic chance. My hands, ink-stained and trembling, trace the rift, For I am the architect of this temporal gift. [Pre-Chorus] The chronometer pulses, a heartbeat of fate, Its gears whisper secrets, both wondrous and weight. I’ve glimpsed the future’s ruin, the past’s lost glow, Yet knowledge bears a burden—a heavy undertow. [Chorus] Etched in starlight, I unravel the night. But what price for wisdom? What's the cost to win this fight? [Catchy Hook] That's why I cry That's why I cry That's why I cry [Verse 2] In quantum reverie, I’ve glimpsed the Omega’s maw, Its mechanical hunger, its insatiable draw. The pilots, their eyes aflame, heed my desperate plea, “Defend Earth’s fragile flame, rewrite our history.” [Pre-Chorus] The Nexus hums, a bridge across eons, I send them forth, my creations, my pawns. Their youth, a beacon against entropy’s tide, Yet I, too, am bound—a scientist’s lament, worldwide. [Chorus] Etched in starlight, I unravel the night. But what price for wisdom? What's the cost to win this fight? [Catchy Hook] That's why I cry That's why I cry That's why I cry [Catchy Hook] That's why I cry That's why I cry That's why I cry [Bridge] In sleepless nights, I wrestle with paradox, For every salvation sown, a sacrifice clocks. Their footsteps echo through time’s corridors, And I, the silent architect, bear the weight of wars. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Etched in starlight, I unravel the night. But what price for wisdom? What's the cost to win this fight? [Catchy Hook] That's why I cry That's why I cry That's why I cry [Catchy Hook] That's why I cry That's why I cry That's why I cry [Fast Guitar Solo] [Big Finale]
