Dark Star Lyrics

Dark Star
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Garcia, Kreutzmann, Lesh, McKernan, and Weir

Dark star crashes
Pouring its light
Into ashes

Reason tatters
The forces tear loose
From the axis

Searchlight casting
For faults in the
Clouds of delusion

Shall we go,
You and I
While we can?
Through
The transitive nightfall
Of diaomnds

Mirror shatters
In formless reflections
Of matter

Glass hand dissolving
To ice petal flowers
Revolving

Lady in velvet
Recedes
In the nights of goodbye

Shall we go,
You and I
While we can?
Through
The transitive nightfall
Of diamonds

Spinning a set the stars through which the tattered tales of axis roll about the waxen wind of never set to motion in the unbecoming round about the reason hardly matters nor the wise through which the stars were set in spin
