Rick Wakeman
The Lost Cycle
[Verse 1]
The spaceman came from time unknown
His knowledge way ahead of man
To seek the cycle starting here
The evolution plan

[Verse 2]
Each day he watched the world evolve
Eternal life for him to prove
Watching man grow powerful
Destroying life with every move

[Verse 3]
The spaceman's world a burning mass
Destroyed by his own kind
A sole survivor lost in space
A growing world must find

[Verse 4]
He saw the birth of hate and war
Of death before our life was born
With human fear, the spaceman saw
And changed from human form

[Verse 5]
His voyage led back to Nemo's world
A peaceful start of human form
He knew one day he'd leave again
To witness other planet's born
[Verse 6]
He watches helpless, tearful
As the world embittered grows
Moving closer to the end of earth
The spaceman only knows

[Outro]
The spaceman only knows the truth
He's seen it from eternal youth
Man will always die
