Cygnus X‐1 (London, UK, June 1980) Songtext
von Rush

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

Sound and fury drown my heart
Every nerve is torn apart
