into the black hole

Bruce Dickinson

A) the eye of the universe

A dark sphere surrounds us
Surreal...oblivious...
In the centre of the galaxy

A hidden force has found us
Powerful...mysterious...
At the boundary of eternity

Nothing escapes, not even light
Beyond the mystical horizon
We surrender to its might
Gazing into the eye of the universe

A deep roar is sounding
Deafening...thunderous...
As if the universe were crying
My heart is pounding
Frantic...delirious...
My every nerve is dying

Nothing escapes, not even light
Beyond the mystical horizon
We surrender to its might
Gazing into the eye of the universe



B) halo of darkness

I hear screams of fallen souls, sad cries of agony
Within the void of this evil hole, deep inside the black

Could it be my imagination, the mirror of my fantasy?
A fear-induced hallucination
Or is there no way back from the halo of darkness?

Spirits - apparitions - misery - suffering
Horrid dreams and dire visions rising up from the black

Look away in disbelief, this cannot be happening
The end has come, i bow in grief
There is no way back from the halo of darkness



C) the final door

Now silence devours us
Massive...suffocating...
The calm before the storm

Gravity overpowers us
Invincible...dominating...
And leads us through the final door

Nothing escapes, not even light
Beyond the mystical horizon
We surrender to its might
Gazing into the eye of the universe

Feed me light, i'm the halo of darkness
Feel my might, i'm the eye of the universe

"as we continue on our journey, we dive into a black hole -
A spiraling wormhole. as it sucks us in, time slows and
Images become distorted. reality itself twists and bends.
We leave the galaxy where our journey began, headed for the
Unknown. where will it take us?"
