lyrics

The shapes - the hulls fall where they may
Crater impact lines will stay
You never reached the event horizon we all sought for you to seek
It waits- the structures stand in shame
Sullen casks now bathed with flames
It’s over now, forever it sleeps

We watched your chest expand until it popped
Wishing we could make it all stop
Now we live with the guilt
You were never ready
You should have never flew
The thought of exploration misconstrued our views

In vain- the threads they come undone
They reach towards distant suns
A once rival of fear, festooned here, now dead planets they will feed
I hope the path you chose to be
Lit the course for dreams obscene
But it’s over now, forever it sleeps.

We watched your chest expand until it popped
Wishing we could make it all stop
Now we live with the guilt
You were never ready
You should have never flew
The thought of exploration misconstrued our views
