Cygnus X1 Book Onethe Voyage lyrics

In the constellation of Cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The Black Hole
of Cygnus X-1
Six Stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister`s loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night...

1
Invisible
To telescopic eye
Infinity
The star that would not die
All who dare
To cross her curse
Are swallowed by
A fearsome force
Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized-at the core
Or throough the Astral Door-
To soar....

2
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northeast of Pegasus
Flew into the nilky light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the `Rocinante`
Wheeling through the galaxies,
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery

The x-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the Black Hole-
Gains control...

3
Spinning, Whirling,
Still descending
Like a spiral sea,
Unending
Sound and Fury
Drowns my heart
Every nerve
Is torn apart...
