Skirmish: Outer Space (@amazinglyandrew)Liner Notes
I almost literally slept through this sprint with a cold at home. And so this might be the only song for it. #needsmusic #collaborationswelcome #skirmish #space #filk
Lyrics
Escape into Space
Chorus: Silence and darkness Echoes of luminance And I’m traveling, weightless Soaring on wings of dust The world is endless I made it into space Lost gladly in the distance Away from the race
Verse 1: Tendrils of sunlight A star on my periphery Like comets and asteroids I’m fighting gravity But the galaxy is wide The galaxy is free And brims with peace for me
Chorus:
Verse 2: My planet so far Hidden by chaos and debris Memories the only thing Having a hold on me But the galaxy is wide The galaxy is free And brims with peace for me
Chorus: Silence and darkness Echoes of luminance And I’m traveling, weightless Soaring on wings of dust The world is endless I made it into space Lost gladly in the distance Away from the race
For the galaxy is wide The galaxy is free And brims with peace for me

These lyrics are quite evocative and lovely. They let the imagination and emotion run wild and free, far from the race.
Nice lyrics. I was wanting one of those projectors that shine the galaxy on your bedroom ceiling while reading this.
