'Cygnus X-1' by Rush

From the Canadian power trio's album A Farewell to Kings:

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....

Words by Neil Peart
