Your camera clicks in the vacuum hush
Lens catches light on titanium brush
Silver needle drinks the frozen stars
You chart the dark with battery sparks
Silver north won't ever lie to you
That compass knows the only way is true
Hangar silence cracks when magnet pulls
Steel walls bend to magnetic rules
You ride the pull toward silver blue
Your boot heels drum on grating floor
Film advances frame by frame you store
Orbital dawn bleeds through bay doors wide
You shoot the compass where shadows hide
Silver north won't ever lie to you
That compass knows the only way is true
Hangar silence cracks when magnet pulls
Steel walls bend to magnetic rules
You ride the pull toward silver blue
Shutter snaps the floating ice crystals
Compass face reflects your restless eye
Mission clocks tick down orbital cycles
You pocket north before the last goodbyes
Silver north won't ever lie to you
That compass knows the only way is true
Hangar silence cracks when magnet pulls
Steel walls bend to magnetic rules
You ride the pull toward silver blue
Air locks cycle pressure seals engage
Compass rests in palm a silver gauge
You board the ship that burns for Kepler rim
North points steady future bright not dim
Silver north won't ever lie to you
That compass knows the only way is true
Hangar silence cracks when magnet pulls
Steel walls bend to magnetic rules
You ride the pull toward silver blue
Compass clicks shut in your coat pocket deep
Silver north is yours to keep
