Extremophiles A
[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
Swirling whirlpool of means
To ends out of reach
Developing will to overcome the extreme
The will to overcome the extreme
