Astronomy Domine was the first song of the first studio album by Pink Floyd, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Voivod decided to cover that song due to its “space rock” and progressive nature, elements that fit perfectly on the most progressive studio album produced by the Canadian band, Nothingface.
[Chorus]
Lime and limpid green, the second scene
The fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy water underground
Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan
Stars get frightened
[Chorus]
Lime and limpid green, the second scene
The fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy water underground
Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan
Stars get frightened
Winding signs flap
Flicker, flicker, flicker, flap, pow
Stairways scared
And death rules there
[Chorus]
Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy water under...
Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground
