Black Hole.2 Songtext

von Rasputina

Twelve thousand light years from Earth
At the possible location of [?] outbursts
Ignorant and worn weary, we saw the giant magnetar
This remarkable super-dense object
Was once a giant neutron star

The remnant of a collapsed and molten core
A curious breed of galaxy never seen before
No longer able to support its mass
It's unleashed ten thousand-trillion watts of noxious gas

Aboard the Black Hole Hunter
Gonna make you see
Searching high and under
For lost galaxies
Aboard the Black Hole Hunter

Most of the planets we visit
Are quite cold and extremely distant
Heat from the probe's batteries
Warm the soil beneath it
But it's all right, we're feeling fine
This trip has lasted an entire light year
Easily twice my Earthbound lifetime

Aboard the Black Hole Hunter
Gonna make you see
Searching high and under
For lost galaxies
Aboard the Black Hole Hunter
Aboard the Black Hole Hunter

Speed is crucial to the chase
You wanna catch those first few bursts
The unknown looks you in the face
You always wanted to be the first

Swiftly swiveling, directly at the burst position
The machine has made the wrong decision
But it can't take it back
It turns to point its ocular toward the blast
But that particular action, the protocol says do last

Aboard the Black Hole Hunter
Gonna make you see
Searching high and under
For lost galaxies
Aboard the Black Hole Hunter
