Rings of Earth Lyrics

Satellites with empty eyes
Stalk along
The starry countryside
Titanium ghost
Tombstone orbit creeping
Thousands of miles above
The multitude of dead

Crown and constellation
Hang antenna vultures
Tower over the thermosphere
Like omens dead
When earth that fed
Left its relics in a sky
Unobstructed view

Ring of eyes watch without
Shapes and shadows that do not see
Lens reflect trajectory
Blue circle turns and turns
Awake in the day
Asleep in the night
Awake in the day
Asleep in a grave
All sleep on blue grave
All sleep

Rings of Saturn spin away
All these æons spinning
Rings of Earth are grinning
Satellites in array
Spinning as the days unfold
Watching as the nights untold
Bear witness to another light
The ring of satellites
Glinting over no one but the
Skeletons of endeavor
