Story behind the song

The words were partly inspired by some science fiction stories I'd read which were all set in the same universe but spanned thousands of years.  The stories got me thinking about what our lives mean in the context of the eons that pass before and after we're alive.

Lyrics

This isn't the end
The pattern repeats and the past is forgotten
A brand new life
Made on the fragments of their world

All they desired
All they believed

Ten thousand years
There's just a fragment of a song
Forgotten place
In crumbling stones once full of life

All they desired
All they believed

And so it begins
Shaping our dreams, your hands in mine
We have some time
Before the ages pass us by

All we desire
All we believe
