lyrics

Expanding celestial body
Majestic glowing sphere
Its scale is mesmerizing
It gonna grow year after year

Procession of centuries
But a jiff in colossal lifespan
Eras succeeded each other
However its life has just begun

Dazzling radiance
Terrawatts of pure power
Seething ocean of lucent plasma
Alluring and terrifying

The prohibitive power
Of luminescence
Concentrated in a hypergiant
Many parsecs away

When expansion ceases
Gravitational collapse sets in
Eventually this moment comes
The power bursts out from within

Thermonuclear fusion products
Spread across the space
They give life to new stars
In molecular cloud’s embrace

Conversion of hypergiant
Into clouds of gas and dust
Will be rapid and charming
Now the star is the thing of the past

An explosion marking the death
Of a once majestic star
Will light up the entire galaxy
With a super-bright flash

But even this colossal
Illumination
Will look like a faint glare
In the endless space

When expansion ceases
Gravitational collapse sets in
Eventually this moment comes
The power bursts out from within

Agony does not mean oblivion
Star will be reborn
Millions of years will pass
It will just be transformed
