Dog Star (Fly On)

Lyrics

So what is the real deal in this world? Once upon a shine, a long time aglow A beautiful bright star, as fine as any Goddess She had long held the dominant position in the sky And had been admired by all for her beauty But lately, she felt unwell Indeed it seemed as though her life was ebbing away Failing and failing, she clung to any companion star she could find Only to discover that they too felt that deathly grip And were weakening Once upon a shine, a long time aglow Starry, starry night A trillion points of lights with one For every living creature on Earth I said she got a slow glow This little light of mine will shine She dreaded, at last devoured her glorious presence entirely The night came and she was no more Once upon a shine, a long time aglow Many nights the mortals had stood in awe of her beauty Once upon a shine, a long time aglow All the stars dissolved in the presence of the mighty sun But then again, on the 7th of the current twelve Once again the presence of her beauty is shown A shepherd had gone out before sunrise Just to be surprised by her shine The shepherd looked toward the east Fire and shimmering red birth of the Goddess It was she, it must be she No other star had the aura such penetrating the sun The shepherd stood transfixed His eyes were scorched by the fresh star drippings It seemed as they watched the light And the flame of her beauty resurging renewed existence As quick as the sun behind her
