In bewildering silence In aphelion Frozen in time (Out of nowhere) A spark of ultraviolet Brings her back to life Reignite and reawaken Echo and spin Generate more momentum Only then A bright acceleration The force within A final destination Now she moves faster than the speed of light Her star-woven mantle of black velvet That shimmers in the shadow of night She burns green and white like a comet This diatomic carbon in flight Only here for a cosmic moment Until she wanes out of sight A bright emerald coma Vivid in its magnificence Translucent like the eyes of Asteria Veiled in the faintest haze Cloaked in cerulean grace That trails like fleeting tears Across her timeless face Now she moves faster than the speed of light Her star-woven mantle of black velvet That shimmers in the shadow of night Now she burns neon-bright like a comet This diatomic carbon in flight Only here for a cosmic moment Until she wanes out of sight Give one last gaze at the night sky She burns brighter than ever before She waves her last goodbye and she knows She has to Give in to the gravity Falling in motion A slingshot journey Through the endless ocean Of nothing but gas and dust So wear your disguise Of stardust threads No one will see you Where no-one ever treads You're safe in your cloak of stars
