lyrics

Unfathomable coagulate matter
torrents of aether breach the gulf

emulsion strands, life and fall
roiling vigor, birthing stars

immemorial! consume and condense
what beauty we see in the arc of gas giants

Full beyond measure of elegant truths
Awesome machinery of nature

stride in fecund steps across stellar tides
stare at the corona, radiate light!

spectrum penumbra, invert incandescent
the glorious blackness of entropy

eyes stripped until nothing and yet we bare witness
400 billion suns! 400 billion suns!

from this vantage, periphery of vision
event horizon eyes! we absorb all!

We are able to glimpse the awesome beauty of the universe – to see the nebula from which stars are born, to watch the very light drawn towards black holes – it is possible to understand the awesome expanses and mindblowing endlessness of the universe. It is this that we must embrace to learn a little modesty, to be humbled by what lies beyond this place we call home. As Carl Sagan once said,


“The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every hero and coward,
every creator and destroyer of civilization, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light, and underscores our responsibility and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot.”
