lyrics

Astronaut, far beyond the clouds
wants to know what's behind this shroud
Tenuous red giant, loneliest among the stars
Astronaut, take me where you are
let's die here, where no one else is crowned
The most glorious sun has no planets around

Come down, back to the earth
where you belong, my bright satellite
Shed light, maybe your own
and move us a step closer to the sun

Inmensity is jail
Did you create all this?
Did you confine yourself?
A maker is never free
Trapped observer, watcher of the
everchanging beauty
in the universe
years far away

Come down, back to the earth
where you belong, my bright satellite
Shed light, maybe your own
and move us a step closer to the sun

Come blind our eyes
Come blind our eyes
Come flood our minds
Come flood our minds
We are now your acolytes
burning in your nebula
