Cygnus - Scape One & Tau Sagittarii

Through the black, the hull is stacked Taking in the haul from Alshain Growing cracks, but still intact Encroaching on the Cygnus domain Beacon light within my sight The terminal is glowing in space Symbol for the free, but not for me I'm preparing to plead my case Like the moon is silent, consumed by the void All screams from inside are destroyed I was served an injustice as head of the Guard Unbalanced and covetous was my charge I have returned With malice that can't be unlearned I have arrived Like the rise of a massive tide Cygnus Terminal Iso Subject 5, where were you? Gone for 13 years and only aged 2 We deal with the terminal, we deal with death We are the bringers of balance; we are the lungs of the cosmic breath Iso Subject 5, your tracker was damaged at take-off How could you survive? We thought you were gone Cygnus Terminal Iso Subject 5, you say that's not your name? Isolation must have twisted your brain We deal with the terminal, we deal with death We are the bringers of balance, we are the lungs of the cosmic breath Iso Subject 5, you've strayed from your tests You must have lost your mind Why don't we just kill you now and put this all to rest? I crossed the Great Divide I now have command over time It's futile to object Now grant my parole from the Isolation Project All the years trapped in silence All there was to confide in Was my waning sense of worth Now reprieved of the tests My soul is battered at best But I've lived to see my rebirth Policies of my decree Once again, are enforced by me Epsilon, Pteropticon Failing now because of my leave LCD, at full capacity This is where I'll restart my work Take the names of those who caused me shame Be silent, swift, and deft on your search Like the moon is silent, consumed by the void All screams from inside are destroyed I have returned With malice that can't be unlearned I have arrived Like the rise of a massive tide

In the constellation of Cygnus There lurks a mysterious, invisible force: The black hole of Cygnus X-1 Six stars of the northern cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night Invisible to telescopic eye Infinity, the star that would not die All who dare to cross her course Are swallowed by a fearsome force Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized at the core, Or through the astral door? To soar... I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the 'Rocinante' Wheeling through the galaxies Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery The X-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the black hole... Gains control... Spinning, whirling, still descending Like a spiral sea unending! Sound and fury drowns my heart Every nerve is torn apart!
