Stargazers
The album Oceanborn was released in 1998/366, and opened with this track. Oh, what yet another backstory omitted for now, at least already the lyrics.. Mentioning the Almagest on a not too mainstream CD anno MCMXCVIII might have hinted the track was gonna astonish.
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 [chorus] Tragedienne of heavens Watching the eyes of the night Sailing the virgin oceans A planetride for the Mother and Child Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze Ephemereal life touched by a billion-year show Separating the poet from the woe [chorus] Oracle of the Delphian Domine, witness of Adam's frailty Seer of the master prophecy, the stellar world her betrothed Wanderers in cosmic caravan Universal bond, the Starborn A son in the search for the truth Following the pages of Almagest Discovering the origin of dreams Stargazers ride through the ancient realms [chorus]
