Through a somber galaxy

on my voyage through vast space
towards the heart of brilliancy,
I must cope with the unknow face of a somber galaxy
this universe, seemingly vacant and dead
shapeless and black as the night,
appears all the same full of life, immensly rich

limited by human sense,
I can only feel the force:
what is near but seems distant
all those eyes behind countless doors,
that observe me, physically present and real
the knights of light don't resist.
I pass untouched through their guard
I've stood their test

the change of an era has come -
a new age is born
as it's been forseen so long
a period of thought and insight -
man must survive
though he's conjured his chances so many a time
and asked for the gift of life more than twice
his final run of luck has come now.
