A star is forged from the spacetime rippling rainbow grid. It sends forth light that travels dreamily through the corridors of space. As it touches onto and enlivens dead matter along the way, it becomes aware of its own existence and the sense that it is being drawn, prophetically, by its narrative destiny towards the undying sun of souls, the living dead, to be spilled upon the earth to lead a human life.
lyrics
traveling light
we came from afar
we came from a star
we make light
of dead and dying things
we're traveling light
we brighten the sky
and lift your will
undying sun:
the living dead
the story's done
the book is re(a)d
the garden grows
the soil has bled
he lost his mind
off with his head
we came from the light
rainbow grids of white
we hold tight
to the shaded shore
we're clinging tight
aspiring towards the hellish heights
how desperate
the shadows cling
afraid of what
the light may bring
the sky upon the earth, be-wed
resounding still inside his head
for they who into space were hurled
the psychoNautilus unfurled
but Adaman was left behind
to tend the garden of the mind
