Cygnus X-1 Lyrics - Different Stages (live) - Rush

In the constellation of Cygnus 

There lurks a mysterious, invisible force 

The black hole 

Of Cygnus X - 1 

Six stars of the northern cross 

In mourning for their sister's loss 

In a final flash of glory 

Nevermore to grace the nigh 

Invisible 

To telescopic eye 

Infinity 

The star that would not die

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 soar 

I set a course just east of Lyra 

And northwest of Pegasus 

Flew into the light of Deneb 

Sailed across the milky way 

On my ship, the 'Rocinante' 

Wheeling through the galaxies 

Headed for the heart of Cygnus 

Headlong into mystery 

Photos 

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 

Unending 

Sound and fury 

Drowns my heart 

Every nerve 

Is torn apart
