Adrift between the stars

Expelled from Earth

And its planet-scorching dearth

Our ships of ice

A crude device

Seeds

In despair thrown like dice

To find the one world

That is ours

Forlorn and frozen

Sent to breed

Lost to the lore

But then grace takes us past Pluto’s shores

Whence

A turgid drove descends

Envelops us in spores

Guides our flight

Through the abyss of night

As they claim they have done before

A precision slingshot

From the orbital plane

Towards a boreal bеacon

And we shall live again

Escape to thе Goat Stars

Nourish with hope those who remained

Alpha Aur

Primal light

Save our souls

Take away our pain

Eons pass

When at last

From the void

Emerge two giant double stars

Time starts anew

For polyps long forsaken

In the heart of our icy tomb

Ancient bodies reawaken

The depths of the Northern sky

Yield a blaze

Like a slow explosion

An embrace of rays

Twin bloated suns spiral

Devour the firmament

In their glow, our comet world

Becomes germinant again

Then suddenly, two more suns

Join the dance from afar

And in between, a planet swerves

Awkward and bizarre

Tugged from orbit

Of fiery death

It seeks the smaller twins

And in its wake a satellite

A moon for our kin

Wobbly seasons now ensue

Tempered freeze and thaw

As we swirl about the moon

And ever closer to it draw

Conjoin

Withdraw

Our vessel set to smash

Brace to bore

Into the crater of our crash

Towards this pockmarked ball of ice we fall

Below its crust a liquid ocean calls

No return now

We came so far

In ice encased

To crash and burn now

Our ship must crack the frozen waste

Collision

Catharsis of an arcane vision

Havoc bursts

Into a million shards we shatter

Get submersed

Into gaping faults we spatter

Down we squirm

Escape the flash-freeze of the void

Like undead worms

That refuse to be destroyed

And we're through

A new world

Soon under our control

The Mi-Go’s gifts

Our gospel to extol

A drifting island grows

Feeding on light and freedom

Keeping each other close

Towards our suns we’re seeding

At last, the surface calls

Where billowing stars adorn our reign

Alpha Aur

Primal light

And so we rise again

Here under stars of wonder

Their beauty pulled us under

A freeing force is leading

Towards the heart of meaning

We wander in stars of wonder

Their beauty pulled us under

Joy is seething, life is feeding

Our engine at the heart of Eden
