Youre a beautiful trace
Across time and space
Youre a thing that once shone

And you still shine bright
In the darkest night
Though youre already gone


You have travelled so far
My terminal star

In your coat so red
But I still dont know how
I can watch a thing now

When its already dead
When its 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

Youre dying so beautifully
So beautifully


Youre a beautiful trace
Of time and space
Youre a thing that once shone

And you till shine bright
In the darkest night
Though youre already gone

Though youre already gone
