Eyes glazed with madness fixed on the sky
Drunk on blood from the cosmic sea
The Astronomer lives in me
Corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities
Older than man, older than time
Before the Earth formed from dust, the lifeless void
Dominated, conquered by gods from other dimensions
Suspended in primordial ooze by the starstrings
Drunk on radioactive blood from the sores of dead worlds
Astronomy, necromancy: A universe sterilized of all organic life
Brought back from the brink of rot
By the hands of the Astronomer
To catch a glimpse of bleak infinity
To witness madness in the heart of violent stars
Long dead before their light finds our corner of the galaxy
Madness in ecstasy, salvation in destruction
To drink old blood from the cosmic sea
And let the Astronomer devour me
