Terminal Star lyrics

You'’re a beautiful trace

Of time and space

You’'re a thing that once shone

And you still shine bright

In the darkest night

Though you'’re already gone

You have travelled so far

My terminal star

In your coat so red

But I still don'’t know how

I can watch a thing now

When it'’s already dead

When it’'s 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

You’'re dying so beautifully

So beautifully (so beautifully)

So beautifully

So beautifully

You’'re a beautiful trace

Of time and space

You'’re a thing that once shone

And you still shine bright

In the darkest night

Though you’'re already gone

Though you'’re already gone

Though you'’re already gone
