Alpha Aur

Lyrics for Alpha Aur

Adrift between the stars Expelled from Earth And its planet-scorching dearth Our ships of ice A crude device Seeds In despair thrown like dice To find the one world That is ours Forlorn and frozen Sent to breed Lost to the lore But then grace takes us past Pluto's shores Whence A turgid drove descends Envelops us in spores Guides our flight Through the abyss of night As they claim they have done before A precision slingshot From the orbital plane Towards a boreal beacon And we shall live again Escape to the Goat Stars Nourish with hope those who remained Alpha Aur Primal light Save our souls Take away our pain Aeons pass When at last From the void Emerge two giant double stars Time starts anew For polyps long forsaken In the heart of our icy tomb Ancient bodies reawaken The depths of the Northern sky Yield a blaze Like a slow explosion An embrace of rays Twin bloated suns spiral Devour the firmament In their glow, our comet world Becomes germinant again Then suddenly, two more suns Join the dance from afar And in between, a planet swerves Awkward and bizarre Tugged from orbit Of fiery death It seeks the smaller twins And in its wake a satellite A moon for our kin Wobbly seasons now ensue Tempered freeze and thaw As we swirl about the moon And ever closer to it draw Conjoin Withdraw Our vessel set to smash Brace to bore Into the crater of our crash Towards this pockmarked ball of ice we fall Below its crust a liquid ocean calls No return now We came so far In ice encased To crash and burn now Our ship must crack the frozen waste Collision Catharsis of an arcane vision Havoc bursts Into a million shards we shatter Get submersed Into gaping faults we spatter Down we squirm Escape the flash-freeze of the void Like undead worms That refuse to be destroyed And we're through! A new world Soon under our control The Mi-Go's gifts Our gospel to extol A drifting island grows Feeding on light and freedom Keeping each other close Towards our suns we're seeding At last, the surface calls Where billowing stars adorn our reign Alpha Aur Primal light And so we rise again Here under stars of wonder Their beauty pulled us under A freeing force is leading Towards the heart of meaning We wander in stars of wonder Their beauty pulled us under Joy is seething, life is feeding Our engine at the heart of Eden
