The Derelict Lyrics


One pale blue sun rises over the crushed surface

Two moons watch down on the fogswept ground

Three are the glittering lights to reach farther to the maze

To find the unknown in the cold pitch blue darkness

Stranded for eternity on the shore of endlessness

A giant claw in a lifeless nest

On the stone lie doomed visitor - bones bent outward

Over a cave the inside reach out of that world

Aeons pass,storms unabated but the derelict rests

Sleeping, frozen, dreamless while the time stands still

Their bodies have been taken from the shadow of the night

They have been released from darkness and pain

We commit them to the void with a glad heart

For within each seed there's a promise of a flower

Structural perfection matched only by hostility

Admire its purity, its dedication - the perfect being

Aeons broken, the time is running, new sun on the horizon

The second coming of Man sets the stage for a greater act

Their bodies have been taken from the shadow of the night

They have been released from darkness and pain

We commit them to the void with a glad heart

For within each seed there's a promise of a flower

Three are the glittering lights to reach farther to the maze

To find the unknown in the cold pitch blue darkness

Their bodies have been taken from the shadow of the night

They have been released from darkness and pain

We commit them to the void with a glad heart

For within each seed there's a promise of a flower
