| 1 | Before man walked the Earth and gods shaped mankind, |
| 2 | Before planets and stars and all races of higher beings, |
| 3 | Nothing existed, than the idea of existence., |
| 4 | A dream, so delicate but one thought, one memory lost might render it void. |
| 5 | A universe so vast, no immortal living being may cross its span. |
| 6 | A journey without end. |
| 7 | Whether awake or asleep, Awareness never dies. |
| 8 | That we are one and many is the eternal paradox. |
| 9 | That we are both ignorant and wise is a unique mystery. |
| 10 | How then the human race came to possess a gift of such value and immeasurable power, |
| 11 | That few but the gods of ancient times hold, is to the heart of our story. |
| 12 | How then humans came to forget this treasure is why there is much to be told; |
| 13 | Of what all men have forgotten. |
| 14 | For even gods may forget, from which we first came |
| 15 | Our first names, the vessels of our first form |
| 16 | Yet nothing is lost upon awakening. |
