Ok, I tried to portray the moment where the Universal Migrator is born and divides itself in many Migrators. This is based on the second track of Ayreon’s conceptual album The Universal Migrator Part II: Flight of the Migrator, which is pure unadultered space opera/sci fi madness with keyboards, metal and all that stuff.
Lyrics:
Ayreon – Dawn of a Million Souls
*At the birth of time, the beginning of beginnings One cosmic soul was created A bringer of life, a universal migrator Born to sow its seeds in all the galaxies
Like a cell dividing, it spreads in all directions Creating life among the stars I’m struck with awe as I join the great migrator Now it takes flight to the brightest star of all
On a quest for life, through the sable skies What a show! behold! The dawn of a million souls
On a bold crusade, in the realm of shade What a show! behold! The dawn of a million souls
Through the glowing mist, like a fog of radiation I can see the forming of new planets I’ve been struck by thunder as I witness all the splendor And I realize how small we really are
Oh, I can see forever On the wings of dreams I fly Is this real or is it just a fantasy? What awaits me now at the end of this ride?*
Whoa!!! AS, this is very deep!! I love those lyrics (sorta kinda along the lines of my own beliefs too) and the illustration you have provided goes so well with them!!! Well done :) VBS
Thanks a lot for the comments! Craig, you should try to get that album (and probably the first part too, an ambience/progressive rock space opera) as most lyrics go along those lines (from visiting a Quasar to checking the ‘planet of blue’, ergo, Earth, wormholes, black holes, the beginning of a new universe, etc. Really absorbing and intriguing!
I tried to find some on YouTube but most of it was covers by people (I think). I didn’t have a real good look with limited time tonight, but I will soon. Might even check out Limewire maybe (Shhhhhh) :P
hehehe, good luck on your searchs! You might want to check the composer’s site as there you can download a lot of samples and there is one song that makes a nice use of the digeridoo (if you wonder which one, it’s called “Loser”, some sort of country/folk-metal song). Here is the Link
