Chang’e (The Silver Cord)

[Verse 1]
Ten suns explode in the sky
Sea boils and people die
The earth quakes with a cosmic sound
Death walks freely around
If you dare to touch the voids
Ride cerebral asteroids
Swim the vast, cosmic sea
Find the key to set us free

[Chorus]
Be the auteur
Chang’e
The dreamer of dreams
The voyager
Chang’e

[Verse 2]
Journey across scorching sands
Where neon colours do expand
Find the portal glowing jade
In you go, be not afraid
As she sits upon the moon
Her lyre made of flesh and bone
Strings are made of lightning bolts
Twenty-five hundred volts

[Chorus]
Be the auteur
Chang’e
The dreamer of dreams
The voyager
Chang’e
Sailing the moon-sea

[Verse 3]
Sea of tears beneath her feet
Reflects her heart's eternal beat
And as she plays, her mind takes flight
On wings of song, to realms of light
On the astral planes they dance
Traversing through the broad expanse
Transcending mortal coil
To be whole once and for all

[Bridge]
Palace amongst stars
Sweet treats open palmed
Elixir romance
Corpses slow dance
White rabbit beside
Float in the bright night
Furnace now subdued
Eclipse sun and moon

[Chorus]
Be the auteur
Chang’e
The dreamer of dreams
The voyager
Chang’e
Sailing the moon-sea
My girl
Chang’e
Come back to me
Mother of pearl
Chang’e
Riding on moonbeams

[Outro]
Palace amongst stars (Be the auteur)
Sweet treats open palmed (Chang’e)
Elixir romance (The dreamer of dreams)
Corpses slow dance (Lonely moon)
White rabbit beside (The voyager)
Float in the bright night (Chang’e)
Furnace now subdued (Sailing the moon-sea)
Eclipse sun and moon (Lonely moon)
Palace amongst stars (My girl)
Sweet treats open palmed (Chang’e)
Elixir romance (Come back to me)
Corpses slow dance (Lonely moon)
White rabbit beside (Mother of pearl)
Float in the bright night (Chang’e)
Furnace now subdued (Riding on moonbeams)
Eclipse sun and moon (Lonely moon)
