Come one, come all
To Evolution's Peak
Revere the design
Of self-sufficiency
A synthetic desert
A paradise
You'll see for yourself
For one small price

As the man of the cave sings...
"Come get everything you need
Right here, I've got a deal indeed
Come get everything you need
Right here, I've got a deal indeed"

He makes me feel like a lower species
Needing others for my necessities
Working and paying and begging, "please"
Surviving with no guarantees

As the legend goes, he started from scratch
Two hands, one mind, and a plan to hatch
Divorce himself from the rest of the globe
So nothing is bought and nothing is owed

The elements, he mechanized
Until the whole earth idolized
Society created in one man's cave
His kingdom throne, his home and grave
His kingdom throne, his home and grave

So we paid the entry fee to get through the door
Unsure what he could need our money for
But still excited to see this legend for ourselves
Once we get past the souvenirs that he sells

The glow of the lights grows dim
As we descend further in
Until we finally reach the towns
Built into these grays and browns
Semblance of society
Smaller, cheaper, crumbling
So proud this is all his
But is this all there is?

As the man of the cave sings
"Come get everything you need
Right here, I've got a deal indeed
Come get everything you need
Right here, I've got a deal indeed"

Mustn't there be more that my ticket buys?
Or were all those legends merely lies?
Is this the place where humanity thrives
Or did he just barely stay alive?

And as we realize our mistake
And the ground beneath us starts to shake
We won't get stuck within this hole
We have got to run to save our souls
We won't get stuck within this hole
We have got to run to save our souls

As we run we see him there
Peering out above the square
Smiling lips, eyes filled with fear
The enigma of knowing that he'd die here
He calls this place Evolution's Peak
As the light escapes and our odds get bleak
Synthetic desert or just desserts
Bracing to learn how much death hurts

He was crazy after all
Now we join him in his fall
He was crazy after all
Now we join him in his fall
He thought he was better off on his own
But no one ever dies alone
His home and grave, his kingdom throne
And no one ever dies
No one ever dies alone
