Traveller's Last Candle - Sky Architect

Hey!

What’s this?

The starless and silent

Evening, full of joy

My last, I fear

'cause later there won’t be

Nothing left for me

Hey!

What’s this?

The starless and silent

Evening, full of joy

My last, I fear

For I hold our future in my hands

My life, restored and set in stone

My head, I fear, later is no more

The outer regions of our galaxy

My destination, mankind’s hope.

What will I find?

Is there only mindless matter?

What will I find?

Is there anything?

The stars will guide my way

Speed acquired by the sun

Flying into space

On a mission without prospects

A candle in my hand

A memory in my head

In space, still alone

(Not for my own sake)

(Of human’s blind desire)

(Not for one’s mind to grasp)

(A ripple on the ocean)

(What forces are there out there)

What’s my purpose

If not for my own sake

Am I a puppet

Of human’s blind desire

Do we have a purpose

Not for one’s mind to grasp

A feather on my skin

A ripple on the ocean

What will we find

What forces are there out there

How can space-time be bent

So I can remember again…

Down to the very last candle

Already fading

Getting unstable

I don’t even know

What I’m looking for

Out here, passing a quasar

No one to guide me

Traveling the wind of a solar tornado

Nothing to stop me

Nothing to block me

But the light of another white giant

Now I’m red-shifting like a volcano

I am nearing terminal velocity
