A THOUSAND STAR SYSTEMS AWAY

Roses grow out of the dry bones

in one of the many rooms of the night

After securing iron and wine men

we launch trans-Atlantic flight

-------------------

CHORUS

A thousand star systems away

A baby nova blooms

Slanted and enchanted

Seeds are merely odd shaped moons

-------------------

Slow is the burning tide

far and away is the colony

It's calling me

I over the ocean

It's calling me

tonight...

The ships take to water as strong

and faithful steeds

The harsh , salt-corrosive waters bathe

the crew of their kind and evil deeds

-------------------

CHORUS

A thousand star systems away

A baby nova blooms

Slanted and enchanted

Seeds are merely odd shaped moons

-------------------

37 days and 37 nights

the captain and crew will wrestle

The colony...the destination

with hope in the sky gripped tight

hoping safe will arrive the vessel

The men will debark a dark horse ark

unshaven and weather beaten

To the colony they will go before all

by the sea are eaten

-------------------

CHORUS

A thousand star systems away

A baby nova blooms

Slanted and enchanted

Seeds are merely odd shaped moons

-------------------

Slow is the burning tide

far and away is the colony

Its calling me

I over the ocean

Its calling me

tonight...

-------------------

FADE

To the colony they will go

before all by the

sea are eaten
