The Double Helix

from Muscae Volitantes by Gyron V

/

lyrics

The city lights lie strewn across the hills
Like the slumbering embers
Of some broken star
That had been cast down from the firmament
The night still swarthy
From the ashes of this great and fallen beast

Many a star will break
As the wheels of the future
Grind their way through the aeons

Dead sun upon dead sun
Will pile up in the abyss of the past

But the big sleep
Is still only a sleep
And the dreams you know
Are only fragments
Of the wonders beheld
By these extinguished giants

And one day
We shall all be likewise
Dead and dreaming
And one day
We shall all rise to a new dawn
Each one of us a fresh star
Outshining even
The splendours of the of the fiery phoenix

An old legend
Which some call the new science
Tells us that the double helix
Once came from the stars
And we know that it will be star again
