[Verse 1] In a silent orbit, on the edge of night She gazes down on the planet's fading light As the silent orbit rolls along its way Reaching for redemption, she'll find a way [Flourish] [Verse 2] She sailed across the stars before she knew their names She thought that it would never end She'd drain the planets dry before she learned to feel Now it seems her past won't let her heal [Chorus: layered vocals] Oh, they say she would never Be the one who would see They say she would never Stop at Orbit Station Three Oh no… [Verse 3] She made the cosmos quake with fear as she reigned Taking from each corner of the world But now she sees the whispers turning life to dust, (dust) With her friends she'll mend what's left for us [Chorus: layered vocals] Oh, they say she would never Be the one who would see They say she would never Stop at Orbit Station Three Oh! [Instrumental: 12 bars, lead guitar solo] [Bridge] In the silent orbit, on the edge of night They gaze down on Zenith's fading light As the silent orbit rolls from night to day, (day) Reaching for new hope, they'll find a way [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus: layered vocals] Oh, they say she would never Be the one who would see They say she would never Stop at Orbit Station Three Yeah! There's Seven! A festival at his knees! Look out! Is that Avernis shining in the breeze? Look out! I see him, Leviathan there in the brine! Look out! [Narrative Break] Is that - it can't be - Illudor frozen in time? [Outro] Look out! She cries, her body twisted in pain Look out! Look out! I need communion, baptise me now! Watch out The Empress races to her place Watch out! Watch out She needs anointing with some holy grace... Look out! Look out! Watch out Watch out! [end]
