This is my favorite on the album followed closely by Talisman. Lyrically it is very complex. Bruce has sung similar themes on his solo work. The Sun is a common subject for him which relates to the giver of life and Sun worship historically. The Sun is the source of our life so stars are the source of all life because all elements in the physical universe are derived from hydrogen which is what the Sun burns in a fusion reaction. Without the photons from the Sun we would all be dead. I don't view it as anti-religious or rather I would like to make the distinction between religion and organized religion. If you look at Christmas it is a pagan holiday celebrating the rebirth of the unconquered Sun after the winter solstice. Easter is the same type of holiday. The 12 disciples are the 12 astrological ages of our solar system as it rotates around the galactic center of the milky-way galaxy. The perspective of the song basically explains that there are other dimensions of existence outside our own that intersect with our world. If you look at physics at the sub-atomic level you'd see that reality is inter-dimensional in nature and there is much more to the universe than anyone can imagine.

@jdmorgan This was beautiful to read, man. Thank you. Even 10 years ago, those who see it, see it.
