A fault in time and place A black drop at the edge of the Sun The stars all clouded out Starlight never breaking through Here be dragons taking flight And demons through the long nights The sky all fallen in Nothing ever was the same again Set a course for the stars Reaching out for the far things Taking flight to the distance Never meaning to return Low on the horizon The setting of the evening star
The light that guides him home Is fading once again Set a course for the stars Reaching out for the far things Taking flight to the distance Never meaning to return So many words left unsaid So many deeds left undone The transit of Venus across the Sun So many words left unsaid So many deeds left undone So many tales without an end The transit of Venus across the Sun
