For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
For there is a knowledge more complex
Than life on this planet
A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars
Lunar Strain
All across the milky way
Life suffers defeat
Life that once was treasured
What once was nothing
Has blossomed into form
Once it was I that was nothing
But they say I will die
All across the galaxy
Life suffers defeat
Lunar strain
From nothingless to reality
As we see it
From nothingless into life
My dismal tears of anguish
Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven
Loneliness is pain
Emptiness his power, loneliness his pain
Serenity his might
Yet we shall be honoured
In the starforsaken night
Astral strain
All around my silent moon
Life suffers defeat
Astral strain
For there is a purpose and reason
Beyond all human apprehension
The shrieking silence in the blackness of space.
