Lyrics
Remember as this earth you roam
Reflecting on one's journey on Earth
Behind the clouds, above our world
Acknowledging a celestial realm beyond Earth's clouds
Beyond the terrestrial gloom
Exploring beyond the darkness of the Earth
Distant starlight radiates eternal
Noting the perpetual nature of distant starlight
The stars, the Sun
Referencing celestial bodies like stars and the Sun
The myriads of distant orbs
Highlighting numerous distant celestial objects
The gorgeous islands of cosmic sand
Describing cosmic entities as beautiful islands
They all are subject to time
Emphasizing that even celestial entities are subject to time
Archipelagos of asterisms
Referring to groups of stars as archipelagos
Looking so endless and immense
Impressions of vastness, but acknowledging their temporality
But they are subject to time
Reiterating that celestial entities are subject to time
They all have a birth and a death
Acknowledging the birth and death of celestial bodies
Time erodes all worlds into dust
Stating that time gradually diminishes all worlds to dust
But the infinite great light
Highlighting the enduring nature of a vast, infinite light
Travels for eons to find us
Describing the great light's eternal journey to reach us
Hiding within the endless night
Suggesting that the great light hides within the endless night
Everything that exists
Contemplating the vulnerability of everything in existence
Can be destroyed by time
Asserting that time has the power to destroy all things
The tragedy of death pervades
Expressing the pervasive sorrow of death in all existence
Everything that exists
Reiterating the vulnerability of everything in existence
This is always the way for us
Reflecting on the inevitability of facing challenges in life
A bitter and terrible cup
Describing life's difficulties as a bitter and terrible experience
A difficult path
Acknowledging life as a challenging journey for everyone
That all shall tread…
Expressing the universality of facing life's hardships
