Procession Lyrics
A Cradle Earth, horizons unseen
New world in thirst for the arcane
We are singers of the gone
We remember as along came life
A Cradle Earth, horizons unseen
Earth of one and a zillion sideshows
We are, we were and we’ll not be
We remember as along came acorn
Another birth, another moss green
New world in thirst for the unseen
An empty zoo, a starlight vigil
We’ll have a visit as along came heartbeat
Another birth, another monster
Endless forms towards the stronger
Menagerie of a new world order
We held our breath as along came suffering
We remember farther the Pikaia
Who gave the way, as along came sapien
A Cradle Earth, welcoming its newborn
Aeons since that very first acorn
Together now, in this timeless parade
The living lie, dead afraid
Then they saw the moon and found caring
We remember as along came writing
Such worlds were there, zoos dead again
After all, we should’ve never appeared
Spaceship earth through the fields of time
They understood as along came wisdom
We have been here a while
At the end of ...as along -came harvest
We will remember all the suffering
We wrote this in a tongue you will understand
Words and melodies with a
Touch of colouring
We were there and will remember mankind
Our kin
Aeons ago
New world in thirst for the arcane
We are singers of the gone
We remember as along came life
Earth of one and a zillion sideshows
We are, we were and we’ll not be
We remember as along came acorn
New world in thirst for the unseen
An empty zoo, a starlight vigil
We’ll have a visit as along came heartbeat
Endless forms towards the stronger
Menagerie of a new world order
We held our breath as along came suffering
Who gave the way, as along came sapien
A Cradle Earth, welcoming its newborn
Aeons since that very first acorn
The living lie, dead afraid
Then they saw the moon and found caring
We remember as along came writing
After all, we should’ve never appeared
Spaceship earth through the fields of time
They understood as along came wisdom
At the end of ...as along -came harvest
We will remember all the suffering
We wrote this in a tongue you will understand
Touch of colouring
We were there and will remember mankind
Our kin
Aeons ago

I think this is a song about DNA. Our DNA are the singers of the gone, that remembers when life formed, remembers all the suffering. In a way, our "winning" DNA is the direct result of suffering of "zillion sideshows". "Winning" life forms developed into monsters, but at some point, we have started to take steps away from it as well, with more understanding and wisdom. The species that eventually proceeds us will understand the language of our DNA. The DNA of the species that will proceed us will remember humans and all the suffering that was needed for it to be formed.
@drwn You over-complicated the entire meaning of the song. It's about life forming on Cradle Earth then continuing up to and including the Sapiens. The "monsters" are dinosaurs, the zillion sideshows are the different species who formed during the different Periods of history. Nothing more, nothing less. Suffering in this song is referring to the various mass extinctions that have occurred on Earth

While I tend to agree that looking at DNA gives the song some meaning that I can understanding, it fails in that the song is clearly talking about sentient life
