Hassium, the Hundred-and-Eight

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] Deep in the table, beyond the familiar names A fleeting new number catches in the flame Element one-oh-eight, made where atoms meet Hassium takes its place, rare and incomplete [Pre-Chorus] Heavy at the center, here and gone so fast Born in a collision, never built to last [Chorus] Hassium, the hundred-and-eighth A spark in the lab that outruns its fate Hassium, heavy and brief A trace of the future, a fact we can keep [Verse 2] Named for Hesse, set in the periodic line Its nucleus holds on for a fraction of time No hidden world to mine, no metal to hold Just a signal from the edge of the elements’ fold [Pre-Chorus] Count the fleeting seconds, mark the place it came One more door unlocked in the atomic frame [Chorus] Hassium, the hundred-and-eighth A spark in the lab that outruns its fate Hassium, heavy and brief A trace of the future, a fact we can keep [Bridge] Not a star, not a myth, not a piece of the sky A name in the record as the particles fly We found it, we measured, we gave it a place A short-lived signature at the edge of the chase [Final Chorus] Hassium, the hundred-and-eighth A spark in the lab that outruns its fate Hassium, heavy and brief A trace of the future, a fact we can keep [Outro] One-oh-eight, written into the line Brief in the world, but remembered in time
