DustUp

Lyrics

We've come to witness, traveled for days
High anticipation for a 2-minute gaze
Tin foil hats, solar souvenirs
Nothing like this has happened for years

1st contact is met with applause
Scientists are here to explain the cause
Time slows down as the bodies align
Air becomes still, colors lose their shine

We join to witness this cosmic event
To get a sense of the Universe's extent
Feeling so small after all

A sudden chill, thin cirrus swirl
Tiny slice of sun beams an HD world
Darkness racing toward us faster than sound
Curtain of our world's finale coming down

We join to witness this cosmic event
To get a sense of the Universe's extent
Feeling so small after all

Circle of twilight
A glimpse of light's death
Plunged into darkness
I take a deep breath

CHOIR VOICES

As quick as it came, a sudden beam's glow
Lights up the Earth, returning status quo
But somehow it's different, something's gone on
Somehow we're changed in this new light's dawn

We join to witness this cosmic event
To get a sense of the Universe's extent
Feeling so small
So so small
Do we matter at all
