Orion's Eyes Lyrics
My eyes rise
Toward the large dark
And toward the long light
Just in time
I think I
Can see the infinite sword
Of wide-eyed Orion
Silent, shimmering, lonesome
He's stuck in the sky
Toward the large dark
And toward the long light
Just in time
Can see the infinite sword
Of wide-eyed Orion
Silent, shimmering, lonesome

It's gorgeous. I'm pretty sure it's about the point of view of the star/constellation Orion. You know, looking down on Earth and shimmering alone and brightly up in space.
"The large dark" and "the long light" are references to Gwendolyn MacEwen's poem Let Me Make This Perfectly Clear.
