lyrics
Slingshot fast forward
Consciousness flung outward
Into the space to which it belongs
Eyes shaded in mirrored visor
Systematic reaches of a bright light
Bright light, bright light
Airlocked, suited floating body
Gravity's child flung fast
Orbiting by ash and the cold
And your thoughts looking for
Bright light, bright light
Below you the blue
Planet you knew
Wrapped in blankets of clouds
And all conventions, systems
Intricacies of thought
Epistemic revolutions
And aesthetic benevolences
All together, all are before you
As the sun rises above it all
Bright light, bright light
And respiration, perspiration
The locked limbs, floating hair
Of this messenger from below
You mutter to yourself
Breath fogging on glass
Only to dissipate
Just like everything you see
In the bright light
Bright light, bright light
What was your message?
Why did they send you
To spaceland above
Following an inspiration
Of bits of the universe
Wound up tight
Oh, we're conscious, conscious
Bright light, bright light
Ghosts murmur in the radiowaves
Cosmic ghouls hoot from space dark
The seraphim of the quaesars
The archangels of the comets
The cold prophets of the astral plains
Let them speak through you
Suited knowledge warrior
Silent scout of the void
Find your way there
Bright light, bright light
