Lyrics

The very maxim of the universe

The fundamental principle of the universe

Portrayed by the greatness the stars rehearse

Displayed through the grandeur enacted by the stars

Premeditated by nature's sense

Preconceived by the innate understanding of nature

A modest exuberance so intense

A humble enthusiasm of profound intensity

That every mind has failed to grase it

So profound that every intellect has failed to comprehend it


Forged by time on the last of eternity

Shaped by the passage of time at the conclusion of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity

Intricate structures forming a celestial brotherhood

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

Scattered on a canvas of profound darkness

The white glowing softness a fierce attack

The luminous whiteness aggressively assaults

On every space still to be filled by matter

Every space yet to be occupied by matter


A pursuance of that very first creation

A pursuit of the initial act of creation

Expansion and a constant alteration

Expansion and continual transformation

The fringes of the canvas always stir

The edges of the canvas are in constant motion

The boundary is bathing in a blur

The boundary is immersed in a haze


Forged by time on the last of eternity

Shaped by the passage of time at the conclusion of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity

Complex structures forming a stellar brotherhood

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

Scattered on a canvas of profound darkness

The white glowing softness a fierce attack

The luminous whiteness aggressively assaults


That odious draught: insufficiency

The repugnant deficiency: inadequacy

Touched man as he climbed himself mentally

Touched humanity as it ascended mentally

Alone with his newborn dexterity

Isolated with his newfound skill

Came death to his fear - a corollary

Death came as a consequence to his fear - a natural outcome

Of the fact that the stars never sensed his presence

The stars remained unaware of his existence


The very maxim of the universe

The fundamental principle of the universe

Portrayed by the greatness the stars rehearse

Displayed through the grandeur enacted by the stars


Even Narcissus would drown in the sky

Even Narcissus would be overwhelmed in the sky

If his eyes ever rose from the mirror ponds

If his gaze ever lifted from the mirrored ponds

This radiant image, a stellar high

This radiant image, a celestial height

Eternally feeding the gnostions: "why"

Perpetually nourishing the inquiries of "why"

To which every nightsky's a vast response

To which every night sky provides an extensive response


A pursuance of that very first creation

A pursuit of the initial act of creation

Expansion and a constant alteration

Expansion and continual transformation

The fringos of the canvas always stir

The edges of the canvas are in constant motion

The boundary is bathing in a blur

The boundary is immersed in a haze


Forged by time on the last of eternity

Shaped by the passage of time at the conclusion of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity

Complex structures forming a stellar brotherhood

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

Scattered on a canvas of profound darkness

The white glowing softness a fierce attack

The luminous whiteness aggressively assaults
