Fragmente: Black Holes Burn Brightly

[Another pirate song. Sort of.]

Black holes burn brightly in the night
Devouring stars
Devouring space
They speak in bursts of tainted light
Of long forgotten days

Unfurl the sails and cut the rope
Let go of love
Let go of land
As we drift off, abandon hope
Brace for a bitter end

Cast off your pride
Cast off your fear
Let skull and crossbones fly
Nowhere to hide
A storm draws near
Hold fast or you will die
Hold fast or you will die

Our blood must feed the engine now
A drop of you
A drop of me
The price to drive our mighty prow
Across the starlit sea

The void was never meant for man
A biting cold
Like none before
Still we press on until we can
No longer see the shore

Cast off your pride
Cast off your fear
Let skull and crossbones fly
Nowhere to hide
A storm draws near
Hold fast or you will die
Hold fast or you will die

The shapeless chaos sings to us
Leads us ahead
Leads us astray
It speaks of madness glorious
Our course begins to sway

A broken vow, a lover's kiss
Drove us to doom
Drove us to flight
Our journey's end a black abyss
Our eyes still shining bright

So light the torches
Light the deck
And set the sails ablaze
Let fire scorch us
No way back
We'll make it through the haze

And on the other side, a shore
A peaceful beach
A pleasant day
...
(Pause)
...
So plunder, pillage, fight and whore
This is the pirate way

(Repeat: Cast off your pride...)
