The Red Dust of Kepler-186f

© Copyright by RockYourMusic [Soft instrumental intro — distant reverb, slow build] [Instrumental Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] Beneath a red horizon, I wake in silence, Footprints lost to time and wind. Every star a whisper, every pulse a memory — Of a world I left within. I drift through the silence, beyond the last sun, Where gravity whispers and time comes undone. A crimson haze on a distant shore, Kepler breathes secrets I’ve never heard before. [Chorus] The red dust of Kepler stains my skin, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) A memory of places I’ve never been. Galaxies hum in a language unknown, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) I chase the echoes, I chase alone. [Instrumental Guitar Break] [Verse 2] Through the dust, I see their shadows turning, Voices bleed through cosmic rain. We are echoes caught in dying light, Drifting past what we remain. The stars don’t blink, they burn and stare, Ancient eyes in the frozen air. I walk alone on rust-colored stone, A stranger to worlds I’ll never own. [Chorus] The red dust of Kepler stains my skin, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) A memory of places I’ve never been. Galaxies hum in a language unknown, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) I chase the echoes, I chase alone. [Instrumental swell — guitars rising like nebulae] [Bridge] I hear the heartbeat of another sun, Calling from the edge of nothing. All my names have fallen quiet — Only the void remembers them. [Ambient break — spoken or softly sung] “If you listen long enough, you can hear the galaxies breathing.” [Instrumental Guitar Break] [Long Instrumental Guitar Solo] [Music raises the beat. The guitar note sustains, a repeated and cyclic rhythm] [Instrumental Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Guitar Break] [Verse 3] Magnet storms and spectral light, A thousand years in a single night. No gods here, no maps, no fate— Just silence, and the stars that wait. I saw a shadow move through the mist, A shape that time itself dismissed. It called my name in a voice like glass, Then vanished into the cosmic mass. [Chorus] The red dust of Kepler stains my skin, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) A memory of places I’ve never been. Galaxies hum in a language unknown, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) I chase the echoes, I chase alone. [Break] Gravity fades, And I fall into light — The universe folds, And I become night. [Chorus] The red dust of Kepler stains my skin, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!) A memory of places I’ve never been. Galaxies hum in a language unknown, (Ah_____ Ah______!!!), I chase the echoes, I chase alone. [Long instrumental outro — distortion, delay, tremolo picking] [Outro — whispered or distant vocals] The red dust settles… on what never was. The red dust remembers… what we forgot. [Instrumental Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Guitar Break] [The final sounds: A last, soft gurgle of water. A single, clean wind chime] [Silence]
