Lyrics
Terminal Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're a beautiful trace
Of time and space
You're a thing that once shone
And you still shine bright
In the darkest night
Though you're already gone
You have traveled so far
My terminal star
In your coat so red
But I still don't know how
I can watch a thing now
When it's already dead
When it's already dead
Just to reach my eyes
You traverse the skies
For a hundred million years
I behold your power
In this waukrife hour
Just before it disappears
All the stories in stones
And in beakers and bones
All the salt in the sea
Are eclipsed by the might
Of your fading light
You're dying so beautifully
So beautifully
You're a beautiful trace
Of time and space
You're a thing that once shone
And you still shine bright
In the darkest night
Though you're already gone
Though you're already gone
