lyrics

Space

Pinpricks of blinding light mark
The location of the faraway stars,
Millions blinking, dazzlingly bright,
All show how insignificant we are.

The Blackness,
The Dark,
The Cold and the Breeze:
Solar flares erupt and slay thee quickly.
The Hugeness,
The Sight,
Incomprehensible:
Indescribably wondrous to all.

Supernovae, tachyons, nebula clouds:
Full of ceaseless wonders to behold,
Pulsars, quasars, et Luciferi Shroud:
Space – too young, too old, too cold?
Comets, planets, stars and asteroids:
Full of things beauteous and bright,
Black holes, cosmic rings, interstellar typhoid:
Ugly buggers that are invisible at night.

Time

Creeping slowly over the horizon,
Shadows chased astray by the beams
Of light radiating from the direction
Of the newly risen sun.

Slowly, wearily, the day draws on,
Taking its time to dwindle into dusk.
Striving to persecute all night dwellers,
The sun sets without a sound.

Time, infinite, eternal,
Ticks away slowly.
Ever slower.
Slower.
Slow.
Until it finally stops.

All Lights go out…

And never turn on again.
