Track Insight / Lyrics
I hang where vacuum drinks the sound
My filament sings without a ground
The pilot sleeps in cobalt blue
His logbook closed, his watch is through
Steady beam on hull plates bright
I mark the hours he cycles in
No storm to chase, no rock to fear
Just quiet light year after year
Thruster frost coats the deck plates white
Oxygen hisses through the night
He dreams of Neptune's methane seas
I count the pulses, slow and freeze
The nav beacon blinks a lazy code
No warhead tracks, no heavy load
His hands are folded on his chest
I give the dark its needed rest
Steady beam on hull plates bright
I mark the hours he cycles in
No storm to chase, no rock to fear
Just quiet light year after year
Solar flare paints the bulkhead gold
Stories of the deep untold
I've burned through decades, dim and clean
The longest watch this station's seen
Morning cycle lifts the blast doors wide
He rises slow, no place to hide
A final cup, a final sigh
I hold the beam until I die
Steady beam on hull plates bright
I mark the hours he cycles in
No storm to chase, no rock to fear
Just quiet light year after year
Steady beam, the dark aligns
Steady beam, the dark aligns
