Lee Spitzer - Nebulas lyrics

In the constellation of Orion In the middle of the sword he wears There appears to the eye a fuzzy star Telescopes display what is really there A ma**ive nebula of gas and dust Illuminated by four shining stars The stellar winds disturb the gas and dust New stars surrounded by ecresian disks On a planet in this stellar system All the wildlife lives underground Because the heat from The Trapezium Would blind their eyes and desicate their mouths But one of the creatures dreams of brighter days He gradually begins to dig upwards Up towards the heat, up towards the light To get a glimpse of the blazing red sky Over one milenia in the past A supernova explosion in space Illuminates the night sky on earth The new star in the sky lasted three days It left an elegant field of debris Like a crab for those who can see A light blinks like a strobe in the night It is a swiftly spinning pulsar A dangerous radioactive dance Perpetually spinning disco light The neutron star turns impossibly fast Flying through space incredibly bright On a planet that somehow survived The radiation should k** all the life But a few microbes learned to adapt And use the radiation to survive Light years from our stellar system On a planet near a star like our sun There lives a peaceful civilization Every individual lives as one There is no war for they do not fight No one is above another And they persevere to do what is right And never question the ancient writings For thousands of years it has been this way The priests endeavor to help every soul And the less than fortunate are helped by Those that can give a little more And every night all the planet prays For rejuvenation the next day And they never question the hows or whys Of the giant eye that crosses the sky
