about
The first verse of the song was inspired by an essay entitled "Human Remedies Against the Devil" by Andrei Codrescu.
The song is about viewing the constellations through a telescope.
The song is about viewing the constellations through a telescope.
lyrics
A murder of angels amassed in the sky
Their milky white flesh glowed when their robes came undone
They held glistening flowers
Their hair was on fire
They sang songs in the night to honor the sun
Gathering Light to Discover the Universe
Gathering Light to Discover the Universe
Creatures and Gods aligned in the sky
Guiding the way for those left below
Stories of heroes their armor agleam
Infinity filled with galaxies' glow
Their milky white flesh glowed when their robes came undone
They held glistening flowers
Their hair was on fire
They sang songs in the night to honor the sun
Gathering Light to Discover the Universe
Gathering Light to Discover the Universe
Creatures and Gods aligned in the sky
Guiding the way for those left below
Stories of heroes their armor agleam
Infinity filled with galaxies' glow
