Betelgeuse
Size beyond one petameter
Ten to the power of 15
Stingray Nebula, Ring Nebula
Helix Nebula, The Spire
Hourglass Nebula

Ten to the power of 18
Omega Centurai, Messier 54
Tarantula Nebula
Size beyond one zettameter

Super Cluster Complex
Snow is falling, but it can′t be seen from here
And back on Earth, my loving wife's been dead for years
I see myself in relation to it all
What seemed important now like dust inside the squall
Each moment for me is a lifetime for you
The clouds have no history
And the sea feels no sorrow
The oxygen recycled
And the atoms are just borrowed
The painless and fragility
Of this cycle, oh
I′m already gone
Is there self?
Is this real? Is this a dream?
There's no reason for anything
Just a beautiful infinity (ooh)
No design and no one at the wheel
Just an existential mystery
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
The light that radiates from here could shade the sun
But in a billion years, its journey's just begun (do-do)
Size beyond one megameter
Ten to the power of six
Ganymede, Callisto
Wolf 359
Size beyond one gigameter
Ten to the power of nine
Sirius, Altair
Vega, Polaris
Size beyond one terameter
Ten to the power of 12
Antares, Pistol Star
Betelgeuse
From the air, from the dust
From the sea, from the blood
In the capsule falling millions of years
Prison
All we were, all destroyed
Drifting on through the void
As the permanence of matter disappears
Taken
From the air, from the dust
From the sea, from the blood
In the capsule falling millions of years
Prison
All we were, all destroyed
Drifting on through the void
As the permanence of matter disappears
Size beyond one zettameter
Ten to the power of 21
