To Face the Rising Sun...lyrics by PanOrpheus
(sung to the tune of The House of the Rising Sun)
There was a place
we called The Earth
It’s star was named the sun
The birthplace of the human race
Our journey’s just begun
We left the Earth
so long ago
as if it were our dream
For destiny
and fate, my friends
are not all what they seem
Our ship, our home was called
The Rose
Of this we knew not why
Amongst the crew
One thing we knew
that we could never die
We found a place
In distant space
We sailed the darkest seas
Our ship, our home,
We never left
our sun was now called Gliese
The stones, the stones,
a million stones
that filled the sky
at night
With Gliese above we shared our love
but Gliese shed little light.
Then we left Gliese
‘midst stormy seas
the proton waves were passed
through ghostly forms,
magnetic storms
but we were built to last!
Our ship, it sailed
through countless bones,
a billion miles of space,
A trillion light years seemed to pass
No rising sun we faced.
The Captain was Pythagoras
Andrea was first mate
The crew, they laughed
And cried my friends
Entrusted to our fate.
Our task was not an easy one
‘twas hard to set the course
the secrets now I’ll share with you
‘twas set up by The Source
“Find The Mage-
In any age
search every where
and when
Through stormy seas
Ye shall not rest
I’ll meet The Mage again”
The Source she was a sailor
The Mage was second Mate
They parted ways
‘twas ages ago
Through destiny and fate
They sailed upon a mighty ship
That roamed the galaxies
The sailors were like Argonauts
From tales of ancient Greece.
The source she launched a thousand ships
the Mage was not on board
for he could bend reality,
he had a magic sword.
I am called Pythagoras
and I have never lied
And she’s Andrea, the Oracle
She stands right by my side
The Mage he was
Our father
That’s why we’re both aboard
He created us
and one more
and then he cut the cord
The Mage he was
An ageless one
he found himself on Earth
In endless
Incarnations of
Death and rebirth
The Council met
In a cave of old
they came upon a plan
It took three times
Before ‘twas done
We finally met our man
He was a Sleeping Prophet
Upon that distant shore
We dreamed for him,
sent visions of light
remembrances and more.
The Mage has now returned again
and joined up with The Source
The Oracle said
‘twas preordained,
She’s always right of course
And what of us, and all the crew
For now our task is done
Perhaps
we may return to Earth
To face the rising sun
The Chorus: (sung at least 3x!)
Our song, our song’s
An Ancient song
For now we all are one
Perhaps
we shall return again
To face the rising sun!
