"Dog Star" lyrics

So what is the real deal in this world?
Once upon a shine, a long time aglow
A beautiful bright star, as fine as any Goddess
She had long held the dominant position in the sky
And had been admired by all for her beauty
But lately, she felt unwell
Indeed it seemed as her life was ebbing away
Falling and falling, she clung to any companion star she could find
Only to discover that they felt too that deathly grip
And were weakening
Once upon a shine, a long time aglow

Starry, starry night
A trillion points of lights with one
For every living creature on Earth
I said she got a slow glow
This little light mine will shine

She dreaded, at last devoured her glorious presence entirely
The night came and she was no more
Once upon a shine, a long time aglow
Many mights the mortals had stood in awe of her beauty

Once upon a shine, a long time aglow
All the stars dissolved in the presence of the mighty sun
But then again, on the 7th of the current twelve
Once again the presence of her beauty is shown

A shepherd had gone out before sunrise
Just to be surprised by her shine
The shepherd looked toward the east
Fire and shimmering red birth of the Goddess
It was she, it must be she
No other star had the aura such penetrating the sun
The shepherd stood transfixed
His eyes were scorched by the fresh star drippings
It seemed as they watched the light
And the flame of her beautyresurging renewed existence
As the sun behind her
