You're a beautiful trace 

Across 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


You're a beautiful trace 

Of time and space

You're a thing that once shone

And you till shine bright 

In the darkest night

Though you're already gone

Though you're already gone
