Rush – Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Lyrics 16 years ago
one explanation of "Cygnus" is that the black hole itself was the one talking

I have memory and awareness
But I have no shape or form
As a disembodied spirit
I am dead and yet unborn
I have passed into olympus
As was told in tales of old
To the city of immortals
Marble white and purest gold

this always struck me as Cygnus the Black Hole describing himself. Also i think that the force of a black hole could stop all of the fighting on earth, and the existence and pure power of one could possibly baffle a greek god?

explanations aside, this song is absolutely awesome, beautiful lyrics, in my opinion better than 2112.

I love this song (if you couldn't tell by my scree name)
I know that the ship is called the Rocinate, which is the name of Don Quixote's horse. if anyone else hasn't caught that yet...
