Rush - Cygnus X-1 Lyrics
Book One --- The Voyage
prologue
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...
1
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...
2
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...
3
spinning, Whirling,
still Descending
like A Spiral Sea,
unending
sound And Fury
drowns My Heart
every Nerve
is Torn Apart....
