Marveled as a rare beauty
The black pearl shines upon the heavens
A celestial body of his own construct
Marvel at the resonance of sorrow

Did he rise through the seas to reach the mighty heavens?
Did he escape the darkness of the deep?
How did such beauty mark the realm of gods?

A twinkling contradiction up on the vast unknown
A black pearl shining through the calm oceans of solitude
Kneel before the majesty of uncharted heavens branded

Truth be told however,
He never rose from the deep, never departed from the burning waters beneath
This celestial body didn't brand the land of dreams

Such deep woes are the tears he creates as he looms ever closer
Falling upon the earth and land of man
This beauty is burning bright into collision

Marvel not at the enthralling light
But at the flame that dares defy the gods
Behold the black pearl that denounces immortality
The black pearl that accepts reality
Regard not that which could be,
But that which is
Witness the Falling Star
