Anagenesis means "the progressive evolution of a species"

Story Overview[]

The people aboard the ship who haven't succumbed to cryoshock spend decades in orbit as the terraforming process takes place on Acheron. New generations are born aboard the ship. A giant space station is built to accommodate them all. Called the Cepheus Ring, it encircles the entire planet of Acheron. These people watch the slow terraforming process, waiting for the day when they can join Anicetus and walk on the surface of Acheron.

10 humans who were unable to wake from cryosleep have been converted to Titanborn but they still won't wake. The other humans aboard the ship, painfully waiting for time to pass, create a new religion around the Titanborn and begin to worship "those bound by frost".

Lyrics[]

Exiled just above the highest clouds
Endlessly searching for any sound
As decades pass we devour the outer rings
Our lifeline dependent on in-situ utility

Orphans bound by the frozen sea
We sail upon the shadows of this cruel dream
The world below awaiting the human seed
In silence we sleep
Oh titan hear our plea

We shall become planet bound

We only dream within the absence of sleep
Regaling tales of human cruelty
The day we relink with our god machine

We shall become planet bound

In the end
I must amend
I beg of you
Bury my flesh
Beneath the soil of the world below
This is not my home

We shall become planet bound

The elusive search for life
Hidden in the blackness of night

Enduring the cruelty of time

Every moment consumed by loss
This human slate grasping for faith
Hope itself destined to be lost
We kneel before those bound by frost

We shall become planet bound

We only dream within the absence of sleep
Regaling tales of human cruelty
The day we relink with our god machine

We shall become planet bound

In the end
I must amend
I beg of you
Bury my flesh
Beneath the soil of the world below
This is not my home

We shall become planet bound

We only dream within the absence of sleep
Regaling tales of human cruelty
The day we relink with our god machine

We shall become planet bound

In the end
I must amend
I beg of you
Bury my flesh
Beneath the soil of the world below
This is not my home

We shall become planet bound
