In the constellation of CygnusThere lurks a mysterious, invisible force The black hole Of Cygnus X - 1Six stars of the northern cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the nigh InvisibleTo telescopic eye InfinityThe star that would not die All who dare To cross her course Are swallowed by A fearsome force Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized at the core Or through the astral door To soarI set a course just east of LyraAnd northwest of PegasusFlew into the light of DenebSailed across the milky way On my ship, the ' Rocinante' Wheeling through the galaxies Headed for the heart of CygnusHeadlong into mystery The X-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the black hole Gains control Spinning, whirling Still descending Like a spiral sea UnendingSound and fury Drowns my heart Every nerve Is torn apart
