Lyrics:
The beam is starting
The power is on
This is our parting
Goodbye my baryon
Yeah
We counter-rotate
I see you pass by
Till we make argon and lead tungstate
Light up again
Out of the depths of space and time
Even the bosons cannot hide
As the momentum starts to climb
I somehow find
You and I collide
These theories you know
We test their ground
Is there another Higgs
Can SUSY still be found
Out of the depths of space and time
Even the gluons cannot hide
As the momentum starts to climb
I somehow find
You and I collide
Dark Matter
2HDM
And Gravitons
Out in the depths of space and time
Even the sea-quarks cannot hide
Out of the mess we leave behind
What will they find
When you and I collide
What will they find
When you and I collide
What will they find
When you and I collide
