about

When Columbus sailed to America, the system of navigation failed half way across the ocean because the stars no longer lined up the way they did back in Europe. What would it be like to leave the solar system and head into the unknown?

lyrics

We have gone astray. By dead reckoning we’ve sailed
The North Star, our guide, now drifts from the needle’s pull
(Compass in hand, heaving the log)

This tale of a voyage, taken in centuries past
Now slips from my screen, as I turn to the star guide
(We, too, careen beyond measurement’s end)

Toward the unknown, what use now the astrolabe
As the glory we crave meets the terror we find

In his steady hand, the captain spares no detail
Having ventured this far, he knows there’s no turning back
(He alone carries all, I am lost in his thoughts)

Toward the unknown, what use now the astrolabe
As the glory we crave meets the terror we find

They whisper when they think I sleep
We’ll never see home again
He’ll risk our lives to make his fame
The moon will rise in blood tomorrow

The ocean beneath as vast as the sky

Unequal am I to the workings of the cosmos
