Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage Full Lyrics
[00:27.51] In the constellation of Cygnus
[00:35.78] There lurks a mysterious, invisible force:
[00:39.52] The black hole of Cygnus X-1
[00:49.42] Six stars of the northern cross
[00:51.14] In mourning for their sister's loss
[00:55.16] In a final flash of glory
[00:58.57] Nevermore to grace the night
[05:02.99] Invisible to telescopic eye
[05:08.98] Infinity, the star that would not die
[05:16.42] All who dare to cross her course
[05:20.42] Are swallowed by a fearsome force
[05:25.49] Through the void
[05:27.18] To be destroyed
[05:29.60] Or is there something more?
[05:33.90] Atomized at the core,
[05:38.06] Or through the astral door?
[05:42.43] To soar...
[06:00.56] I set a course just east of Lyra
[06:03.92] And northwest of Pegasus
[06:06.95] Flew into the light of Deneb
[06:10.45] Sailed across the Milky Way
[06:13.18] On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
[06:16.37] Wheeling through the galaxies
[06:19.46] Headed for the heart of Cygnus
[06:22.77] Headlong into mystery
[06:30.16] The X-ray is her siren song
[06:32.22] My ship cannot resist her long
[06:34.51] Nearer to my deadly goal
[06:36.65] Until the black hole...
[06:40.24] Gains control...
[08:47.18] Spinning, whirling, still descending
[09:00.95] Like a spiral sea unending!
[09:14.49] Sound and fury drowns my heart
[09:28.63] Every nerve is torn apart!
[09:35.68]
