Remnants of a Fiery Start

[Hook] Dust motes dance in the observatory dome Centuries old, now I'm finally home Saxophone sighs a forgotten tune Beneath the ghost of a broken moon [Verse] Cracked lens lies where giants used to gaze Through a fractured roof, starlight ablaze Fingers trace the charts along the wall Each star that marked my rise, now dim and small [Pre-Chorus] This old horn feels heavy in my hand A silent witness to the shifting sand The cosmos laughs, a dissonant chord Yet in its vastness, something is adored [Chorus] Oh, the cold, cold universe, it spins and sighs Mocking dreams beneath these ancient skies But every atom, every burning spark We're born from the same explosion in the dark Yes, we're remnants of a cosmic, fiery start [Verse] My breath escapes, a whisper pale and thin As memories of youth begin to spin City lights, a distant fading gleam Lost in the echoes of a broken dream [Pre-Chorus] This worn-out case holds a lifetime's sound No audience, just dust on hallowed ground The universe, a joke it seems to play But I still find a melody to say [Chorus] Oh, the cold, cold universe, it spins and sighs Mocking dreams beneath these ancient skies But every atom, every burning spark We're born from the same explosion in the dark Yes, we're remnants of a cosmic, fiery start [Bridge] The piano plays a wrong note, sweet and low A broken promise, a gentle fading glow From nebulae we came, a scattered dust In this grand theater built on starlight trust [Verse] I wipe the mouthpiece, feel the metal chill Another solo, standing perfectly still Each faded map, a story left untold More precious now than fortunes made of gold [Chorus] Oh, the cold, cold universe, it spins and sighs Mocking dreams beneath these ancient skies But every atom, every burning spark We're born from the same explosion in the dark Yes, we're remnants of a cosmic, fiery start [Outro]
