[Intro | cosmic synth | rising Shepard tone | 4 bars] [Verse 1] |Rising arpeggio loop | octave-layered risers | never-resolving tension| Born in the turning of violet skies Green rivers burning beneath alien eyes Mountains are reaching with fingers of stone Toward wandering worlds where the black sun has grown Flowers awaken The atmosphere screams Nothing around here Behaves like it seems [Chorus | huge stacked harmonies] |Rising arpeggio loop | octave-layered risers | never-resolving tension| BLACK SUN! Over the luminous sea BLACK SUN! Whatever you are Don’t notice me Green waters rising Black mountains grow One world above us Ten thousand below [Instrumental | technical bass | guitar/synth exchange | 8 bars] |Rising arpeggio loop | octave-layered risers | never-resolving tension| [Verse 2] |Rising arpeggio loop | octave-layered risers | never-resolving tension| Purple vines whisper the planets by name Bubbles rise glowing like poisonous rain Are we the travelers? Are we the dream? Or only reflections inside of the stream? [Bridge | Shepard tone intensifies] Higher Higher The heavens bend The rivers run Everything falls Into the sun [GONG] [Final Chorus] |Rising arpeggio loop | octave-layered risers | never-resolving tension| BLACK SUN! Over the luminous sea BLACK SUN! Opening endlessly Green waters dreaming Beneath violet skies The last flower opens The first planet rises [Outro | unresolved chord | Shepard tone continues upward] |Rising arpeggio loop | octave-layered risers | never-resolving tension|
