The Captain

Drifting along through a starless vacancy

Confined within these iron walls, a vile technology

All the whispers that would rend the quiet sleep

Confined within these iron walls, a den of secrecy

My fears aligning

It hurts me so, I will not go blindly

A wild, roaming, misled route

Corrosive specter of doubt

On writhing, intertwining pathways in pursuit of sounds

That exist beyond perceived reality

Extrasensory receptors activating to anticipate the faintest and the fleeting Vibrations

Pulses of energy!

Is that the signal that I've been seeking?

My fears aligning

It hurts me so, I will not go blindly

My fears aligning

It hurts me so, I will not go blindly

Cosmic background radiation, Epoch of Recombination

Cosmic background radiation, interspersed through constellations

It's just cosmic background radiation from the Epoch of Recombination

Cosmic background radiation interspersed through constellations

Receptors at maximum capacity

Limitation reached, so close to what I need

But it’s overloading now

Dead set on reaching what I've always sought

Betting all on this, betting all that I have lost

Spaceflight dementia creeps into the mind

Delirium, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Undulating lines, the colors now collide

A ripple bleeding from the ceiling in undulating lines

Kaleidoscopic, mezmeroptic, hallucinogenic trines

Breaths, short and fast

Oxygen consumed at last

Light, it came to me, a gleam in my eye

My fears aligning

It hurts me so, I will not go blindly

My fears aligning

It hurts me so, I will not go
