"The Coalescence Of Nine Stars In The System Once Known As Markarian-231" lyrics
For countless aeons we have crossed the nighted void of the astral firmament, in search of the non-euclidean hypercrystal of Xantar'ax... and now, our voyage will finally end, in Markarian-231!
A quasar in a distant Seyfert galaxy
(A crystal at its dying heart)
3-D projection, of a quintic manifold
(Dimensions unknown to mankind)
Eight white dwarfs orbiting the stellar core
(Nine body problem - trivial to me!)
Accelerating towards its cosmic doom
Eternal Doom!
This ancient craft has been my tomb for all my life
(A tomb for time immemorial)
In stasis I have travelled, waiting...
(Waiting for the system to align)
No longer tangible as human in my form
(Solar flares tearing at my flesh)
Accelerating toward my cosmic doom
My Doom!
Wreathed in macrocosmic starfire
Subharmonic strands ablaze
Behold celestial convergence
Of nine stars in Markarian-231
Though my home world lies dead, shrouded in impenetrable ice
And though the twin orbs of Thyraxia illuminate the heavens no longer
My heart burns with absolute force of will
I shall wield the crystal, bring swift justice to the rogue gods, and hold dominion over the entire cosmos...
I shall reign over all existence as it's ineffable God... forever!
ASTRAIOS! I call you to life!
From endless inertia, beyond infinite night (rejoin the stars)
All potentiality at once, phase-space paths complete
The ennead of giants aflame forge gates through all consuming heat
Predominance is imminent, my matchless grandeur burning for all time
Wreathed in macrocosmic starfire
Subharmonic strands ablaze
Behold celestial convergence
Of nine stars in Markarian-231
Behold, the ephemeral dance of cosmic infinity, painted across the endless canvas of the multiverse! It is finally mine! I wield the non-euclidean hypercrystal of Xantar'ax!
A quasar in a distant Seyfert galaxy
(A crystal at its dying heart)
3-D projection, of a quintic manifold
(Dimensions unknown to mankind)
Eight white dwarfs orbiting the stellar core
(Nine body problem - trivial to me!)
Accelerating towards its cosmic doom
Eternal Doom!
This ancient craft has been my tomb for all my life
(A tomb for time immemorial)
In stasis I have travelled, waiting...
(Waiting for the system to align)
No longer tangible as human in my form
(Solar flares tearing at my flesh)
Accelerating toward my cosmic doom
My Doom!
Wreathed in macrocosmic starfire
Subharmonic strands ablaze
Behold celestial convergence
Of nine stars in Markarian-231
Though my home world lies dead, shrouded in impenetrable ice
And though the twin orbs of Thyraxia illuminate the heavens no longer
My heart burns with absolute force of will
I shall wield the crystal, bring swift justice to the rogue gods, and hold dominion over the entire cosmos...
I shall reign over all existence as it's ineffable God... forever!
ASTRAIOS! I call you to life!
From endless inertia, beyond infinite night (rejoin the stars)
All potentiality at once, phase-space paths complete
The ennead of giants aflame forge gates through all consuming heat
Predominance is imminent, my matchless grandeur burning for all time
