Cygnus X1 Full Lyrics
[00:31.67] "In the constellation of Cygnus
[00:34.79] There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
[00:39.10] The black hole of Cygnus X-1
[00:47.89] Six stars of the Northern Cross
[00:50.62] In mourning for their sister's loss
[00:53.93] In a final flash of glory
[00:56.78] Nevermore to grace the night"
[01:00.46]
[05:01.95] Invisible to telescopic eye
[05:06.74] Infinity, the star that would not die
[05:13.91] All who dare to cross her course
[05:18.19] Are swallowed by a fearsome force
[05:23.12] Through the void, to be destroyed
[05:27.28] Or is there something more?
[05:31.85] Atomized at the core
[05:36.22] Or through the astral door
[05:40.51] To soar
[05:43.31]
[05:58.22] I set a course just east of Lyra
[06:02.29] And northwest of Pegasus
[06:04.87] Flew into the light of Deneb
[06:08.25] Sailed across the Milky Way
[06:11.14] On my ship, the Rocinante
[06:14.11] Wheeling through the galaxies
[06:17.25] Headed for the heart of Cygnus
[06:20.60] Headlong into mystery
[06:24.13]
[06:27.68] The X-ray is her siren song, my ship cannot resist her long
[06:32.16] Nearer to my deadly goal, until the black hole
[06:37.68] Gains control
[06:45.63]
[08:55.05] Spinning, whirling, still descending
[08:57.98] Like a spiral sea, unending!
[09:00.95]
[09:22.22] Sound and fury drowns my heart
[09:25.16] Every nerve is torn apart!
[09:30.26]
