The Visitation lyrics

The Prodigy has been working on the Theory of Everything for months now. He's totally exhausted, but is sure that the final missing piece is just around the corner. Then one evening he gets an unexpected visitor.

[Father:]

I'm down here on my knees

Feeling the weight of shame

How could I have done this

To you, my son?

[Prodigy:]

I can't believe my eyes

Is it really you?

Why should I forgive you

After all you've done?

[Father:]

I was driven and blind

Not so unlike yourself

We can still work together

If you allow me

[Prodigy:]

Why should I give you a chance?

Why should I trust you now?

Ha… I bet you are helpless

Without me

[Father:]

If we join our minds

Then together we can do this

[Father and Prodigy:]

We both want to be the first

We both want to change the world

[Father:]

We can work all night

'Til we find out what the truth is

[Father and Prodigy:]

We'll solve this mystery

Be a part of history

[Prodigy:]

I'm so damn close

[Father:]

I'll fill in the blanks

[Prodigy:]

I could use a hand

[Father:]

Just give me this chance

[Prodigy and Father:]

For we're on the verge of a breakthrough

[Prodigy:]

The meds help me to see

[Father:]

It's too late to stop now

[Prodigy:]

I'll take just a few more

[Father:]

Just 'til the answer is found

[Prodigy and Father:]

We can make it,

We'll find the truth

Let's join our minds

It's our destiny to do this

We're going to be the first

We're going to change the world

We'll work all night

'Til we find out what the truth is

We both know we'll never sleep

'Til we make this quantum leap

We are in this way too deep
