Lyrics
Into the whirlpool where matter vanishes
Degenerate star, arm of Orion
An iron sun, the forbidden circle
Anti-matter is the black horizon
Heavy metal, black and silver
Fallen matter of the sun
Pours itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
By starlight, the heaviest will rise up
Magnetic mirrors, scattered bodies slow
All chaos of matter, river of fire
A night sea crossing, the cosmic fluid flows
Heavy metal, black and silver
Fallen matter of the sun
Pours itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
Fallen matter from the cross
Freedom that was never lost
Beyond being, will be coming
Beyond time, space, and control
Direction (Starlight)
Creation (Starbright)
Foundation (We forged the Einstein bridge tonight)
Spans a river (Starlight)
We call time (Starbright)
World without end (Light of darkness, light of light)
Heavy metal, black and silver
Fallen matter of the sun
Pours itself into a place
Where there was never, never, never, never one
