INTRO:

                                  I the only one? No others dare to seek
                                                               Answers within the world, signs showing what this world means

VERSE I:

I ground a set of lenses and trained them on the stars
I quantified the evening skies, examined every part
                                                               I analysed the glory of a thousand cosmic shapes
                              And watched the glory fade
                                     I searched across the face of God
                            And found just empty space

CHORUS I:

                          Look clo - ser, look clo - ser
                                 And surely you'll find your goal
                          You'll surely find the way

VERSE II:

I built my new laboratory to shelter from the world
I turned my gaze from moons and suns to particles of dirt
                                                                              But soon surmised my lenses weren't sufficient to display 
                      The truths I sorely craved
                                          I ground more glass, aligned the parts
                               And recommenced the chase

CHORUS II:

                          Look clo - ser, look clo - ser
                                  And one day the world will know 
                                   The world will know your name

VERSE III:

I'm sure I'm getting nearer, I haven't slept in days
The answers are in front of me, but hidden form my gaze
                                                                      My lenses won't illuminate the questions that I face
                                Some truths won't be betrayed
                            While I fight to reach the light
                    The silent dark pervades

CHORUS III:

                          Look clo - ser, look clo - ser
                 I'll never hide my eyes
              I'll never look away
