Candlelight for Dead Astronomers

[Verse 1] They measured heaven And died alone Leaving equations Carved into stone They named the planets Mapped the sky But never learned The reasons why ⸻ [Chorus] Candlelight for dead astronomers Who chased impossible dreams Still their voices echo softly Inside our sleeping schemes Candlelight for dead astronomers Whose names the stars recall Teaching us that wonder Outlives us all ⸻ [Bridge] Massive cathedral reverb. Maybe heaven isn’t distant Maybe heaven’s what we seek Maybe every dying star Still has songs to speak ⸻ [Extended Guitar Solo] ⸻ [Final Chorus] Candlelight for dead astronomers Shining through the dark Leaving little pieces Of forever in our hearts
