Lyrics
A Thousand Years Away
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.
The star is cold and cruel
We don't deserve a sun
Our minds cathedral doors and boarded up
Where once were miracles
The barren last-ditch now
How better to have been more like a cow
To all the saints and scientists
With choir and comet maze
I'm happy to accept my fate
A thousand years away
The void of space is crowded
With populations gone
To never know the past would be too soon
Call this place what you want
Call it a dying sun
We left a trail of pissed-off better ones
