Axial Precession by Mirah

Oh Polaris, star of the sea

As constant as our love for thee

Oh Polaris, your ship star loyalty

Our hope rises when we see you there
(ba-da-da-bum-bum-bum ba-da-da-bum-bada-bum-bum-bum)

Ceph, our shepherd, Ceph our friend

Oh solid body, the light you lend

Your orbit in the nighttime sky

Is only slightly eccentric
(ba-da-da-bum…)

Iota, you lovely solitaire

Red clump we see you there

Exceeding the heating of our sun by far

But you are such a cool star, such a very cool star

Axial, One by one by one

Turn the circle ‘round

The universe is emptiness
But we express such life in it

Alderamin, magnetic, the right arm of the king
Stars of the flock, and the magnitude you bring

You spin with vigor, so swift and fair

Orbiting, evolving, we see you there
(ba-da-da-bum…)

Deneb, my beautiful star

You never set for some, near far

Deneb, brightest of the swan

Whose tail you mark, whose tail you mark
(ba-da-da-bum…)

Al you are a giant blue

The riders, the riders we call you

And we can see, we can see you

Gazing at the nighttime sky with naked eyes

Axial, One by one by one

Turn the circle ‘round

The universe is emptiness
But we express such life in it

Vega, so bright, vega so strong

Celestial goddess, the year star shines on
Saphire blue, oooh, the harp star is landing
Conspicuous overhead understanding
(ba-da-da-bum…)

Thuban, light of the dragons tail

Golden apples, pyramids, you’ve been there

Not the first and not the last

There are portals to your light, portals to your light
(ba-da-da-bum…)

KD, circumpolar, turning on a pin

Hot star, cooling down, a small light let in
Ever more powerful you will become

As the ages go, as the ages go

Axial, One by one by one

Turn the circle ‘round

The universe is emptiness
But we express such life in it

Oh, Indestructibles

Oh guardians of the pole

Oh two calves, two parts of a whole
The brightest star in the bowl
(ba-da-da-bum…)

Ruk my hero, Ruk my love

The northern knee of Hercules

The strength of your luminosity

You come with seven excellencies
(ba-da-da-bum…)

Boots, boots, boots

You shine with charm and zeal
Thrust with your celestial spear
Boots, Boots, Boots, Boots

Axial, One by one by one

Turn the circle ‘round

The universe is emptiness
But we express such life in it (X2)
