๐ Lyrics
In the constellation of Cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force:
The black hole of Cygnus X-1
Six stars of the northern cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night
Invisible to telescopic eye
Infinity, the star that would not die
All who dare to cross her course
Are swallowed by a fearsome force
Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized at the core,
Or through the astral door?
To soar...
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
The X-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole...
Gains control...
Spinning, whirling, still descending
Like a spiral sea unending!
Sound and fury drowns my heart
Every nerve is torn apart!
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force:
The black hole of Cygnus X-1
Six stars of the northern cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night
Invisible to telescopic eye
Infinity, the star that would not die
All who dare to cross her course
Are swallowed by a fearsome force
Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized at the core,
Or through the astral door?
To soar...
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
The X-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole...
Gains control...
Spinning, whirling, still descending
Like a spiral sea unending!
Sound and fury drowns my heart
Every nerve is torn apart!
