Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom
Child of dew-spangled cobweb, mother to the moon
Constellations beholders of the third vagrant
Theater for the play of life
[Verse 2]
Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A planet ride for mother and child
[Verse 3]
Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes
Is this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze
Ephemeral life touched by a billion year show
Separating the poet from the woe
[Verse 4]
Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A planet ride for mother and child
[Verse 5]
Oracle of the Delfian Domine
Witness of Adam's frailty
Seer of the master prophecy
The stellar world her betrothed
[Verse 6]
Wanderers in cosmic caravan
Universal bond, the Starborn
[Verse 7]
A son in search for the truth
Following the pages of Almagest
Discovering the origin of dreams
Stargazers ride through the ancient realms
[Verse 8]
Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A planet ride for mother and child
