lyrics

Some things unknown, a million places unseen
Across the vast wastes of space a thousand tales untold
This crew immortal can tell these tales untold

At the edge of the worlds we saw a planet fall and
Spread its wings, throw itself into the flaming sun
A dwindling spark that blinked in the flaming sun

A planet died, or so we thought at first
But from this star there burst forth bright sheets of feather flames
They wreathed a creature flying on feather flames

A burst of purple red, burning out the sky
The golden orb shifts, streams of gas begin to take new form
We stared in wonder at this strange living form

Reborn, it soars away, stolen sun at its heart
Another star to obtain, bright blazing in the dark
Behind it dying worlds fade far in the dark

Who'll live to see again this drifter through the void?
What life will rise and reside upon its sleeping spine?
What tales will live and die 'til once more it flies?
