|
Twelve thousand light years from Earth |
|
At the possible location of ??? outbursts |
|
Ignorant and worn weary, we saw the giant magnetar |
|
This remarkable super-dense object |
|
Was once a giant neutron star |
|
The remnant of a collapsed and molten core |
|
A curious breed of galaxy never seen before |
|
No longer able to support its mass |
|
It's unleashed ten thousand-trillion watts of noxious gas |
|
Aboard the Black Hole Hunter |
|
In very intense but fleeting flashes |
|
Even stars were turned into ashes |
|
When making the fleeting final appearance |
|
They beg you, please envision massive collisions |
|
Speed is crucial to the chase |
|
You wanna catch those first few bursts |
|
The unknown looks you in the face |
|
You always wanted to be the first |
|
Swiftly swiveling, directly at the burst position |
|
The machine has made the wrong decision |
|
But it can't take it back |
|
It turns to point its ocular toward the blast |
|
But that particular action, the protocol says do last |
|
Aboard the Black Hole Hunter |
