Prologue:
|
In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force: the black hole of Cygnus X-1....
|
Six Stars of the Northern Cross
|
In mourning for their sister's loss
|
In a final flash of glory
|
Nevermore to grace the night...
|
|
1.
|
Invisible to telescopic eye
|
Infinity, the star that would not die
|
All who dare to cross her course
|
Are swallowed by her fearsome force
|
Through the void
|
To be destroyed
|
Or is there something more?
|
Atomized...at the core?
|
Or through the Astral Door?
|
To soar...
|
|
2.
|
I set a course just east of Lyra
|
And northwest of Pegasus
|
Flew into the light of Deneb
|
Sailed across the Milky Way
|
On my ship, the "Rocinante"
|
Wheeling through the galaxies,
|
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
|
Headlong into mystery
|
The x-ray is her siren song
|
My ship cannot resist her long
|
Nearer to my deadly goal
|
Until the black hole
|
Gains control...
|
|
3.
|
Spinning, whirling,
|
Still descending
|
Like a spiral sea,
|
Unending...
|
Sound and fury
|
Drown my heart
|
Every nerve
|
Is torn apart...
|
To be continued...
