lyrics

A great expanse
Of blackened ground, pestilence, and decay
Has conquered all we ever knew
As tendrils of ice
Grip our burning hearts

The aether opens now to us
We have been thrust
To a celestial age
For we beheld death
And its eyes showed reflections of our home

As we breathe in
The wonders of stars we’ve always seen
The void before us is now gone
Replaced by the beauty of Saturn
We are approaching
What has been our dream for centuries
Titan brings us promise
Though what have we left behind?

Hope!
A remnant of our past
Now returned to us at last.

Light!
From a more distant sun,
Though it remains one we have always known

O, witness the sky
Unseen by mortal eyes
A giant on the horizon
And grandeur above

Can we truly hope for a life as we’ve known it?
Or have we been cursed to live on in insanity?
From Huygens to apocalypse, the torches now lit.
11 AU from all we held as reality.

Everything we are is gathered here
On a cold and distant moon
I fear that chaos beckons
I see the shadow of despair

Time is slipping swiftly
15 days of cold, 15 of frost
We must endure
We cannot fall, there is already too much lost

The aether opens now to us
We have been thrust
To a celestial age
For we beheld death
And its eyes showed reflections of our home

The aether opens now to us
We have been thrust
To a celestial age
For we beheld death
And its eyes showed reflections of our home
