Red Shift

Once, all the stars in the sky were bright
Now they're red and fading
And all the colours we wore, the shades that we bore have moved
And the gold turns to red with no time for changes
Red Shift, all moving away from we.

Once, constellations were holy, now darkness pervades
All the older ones
And in the brunt of implosion, all yesterday's golden
Now reddened suns ....
And hope is a word with no space for blame in
Red Shift, displaced now in time and relativity
Red Shift, all moving away from we.

So here I am, though I might well be with me
I'm falling down deep to the rim of the wheel
Is it sham?
Does the world have a meaning?
The more that we know, the greater confusion grows
Stars are like atoms, and atoms are patterns
And probably in the end
'Maybe its all been a dream ....'

Time locked in negative matter, all theories shatter
Beneath the weight
Happy is the man who believes that the world
Is a dream and all reason, fate
Time moves on with no time
The eye moves on with no rhyme
And I'm a song in the depth of the galaxies
Red Shift is taking away my sanity
Red Shift, all moving away from we.
