Paradise On The Run

It's a long way from Dijtriokn, for the dead men see no truth.
Searching for the planet green where no man knows the pain...

Watching the stars go by,
counting every one,
swimming in a flowing sky,
it's paradise on the run.

Thirty-six million light years away, in a distant place and time,
orbiting a star in the milkyway is the planet we're to find,

Watching the stars go by,
counting every one,
swimming in a flowing sky,
it's paradise on the run.

Waves of energy pound the shore of the endless emptiness,
and then the sands of time are born, and matter takes it's form,

Watching the stars go by,
counting every one,
swimming in a flowing sky,
it's a paradise on the run.

Sarkohniel's children filled the void, then Aldechain spun suns,
Then Torsphilexon shed his light for life on Dijtriokn.

Watching the stars go by,
many timeless years we've come,
my path has always been the sky,
and my journey will soon be done.

Brothers of the galaxies, our love is all we've got,
the life of Earth needs Dijtriokn, and everyone needs God.

Watching the stars go by,
looking for the lonely sun,
I'm bidding my home goodbye,
it was paradise but now it's gone.

(Sarkohniel is the name of the proto-galaxis, or quasar, that
eventually expanded to form the galactic cluster that includes
both our galaxy, the "Milky-way", and Dijtriokn's galaxy, Aldechane.
Torsphilexon is the name of Dijtriokn's solar system, and of it's sun.)
