Here is a new song that got overlooked at the end of 2023. Kind of a food for thought song.

This song was inspired by the Arthur C Clarke short story "The Star"; one of his best.

Traveller
(from a dying star)


the data`s in
recorded in ruin
my supernova mission
to answer the age old question
tomb of time on Cassiopeia Prime
a dying race deep in space
was the stranger a fiction

now we know that celestial beacon
blazing the end the end of all reason
sent to earth for birth death and war
last ditch message we choose to ignore
given to the fire
searching so far
he was a traveller
from a dying star

no panacea
a dying world`s pure idea
save us from ourselves
dreaming heavens making hells
i press send interstellar light bends
read the traveller`s truth in my gravity booth
as fusion drive swells

now we know that celestial beacon
blazing the end the end of all reason
sent to earth for birth death and war
last ditch message we choose to ignore
given to the fire
searching so far
he was a traveller
from a dying star
