[Intro]
In the velvet cloak of night, a silent symphony of light
Stars scattered like diamonds on an endless, cosmic sea
Whispering tales of distant realms, across the vast expanse
Their secrets hidden in the colors they gleam, for those who learn to see.
[Verse]
A lone astronomer, perched atop a lonely peak
Telescope poised, a window to the universe so deep
Capturing starlight, dissecting its ethereal glow
Seeking answers in the spectrum, where hidden truths will flow.
He observes a distant star, a flicker in the night
Its light, a weary traveler, traversing cosmic flight
Through the prism of his instrument, the colors spread and gleam
A rainbow bridge of secrets, revealing a cosmic dream.
[Chorus]
Redshift, a cosmic fingerprint, a tale the starlight tells
Of distant galaxies receding, as the universe swells
Stretching the wavelengths, shifting colors towards the red
A measure of distance, a story of the cosmos, read.
[Verse]
He compares the star's spectrum, to a familiar, earthly flame
The patterns, slightly shifted, whisper a cosmic game
The familiar lines, displaced, towards the crimson end
A subtle stretch, a telltale sign, on which astronomers depend.
Just as a siren's wail, changes pitch as it speeds by
The stretching of light waves, reveals a star's long sigh
The farther it recedes, the more its light is strained
Redshift, a cosmic yardstick, a distance thus ordained.
[Pre-Chorus]
The astronomer ponders, the vastness of the cosmic sea
Each star a distant beacon, in this grand tapestry
Their light, a whispered message, across the endless void
Redshift, the key to decipher, secrets thus enjoyed.
[Chorus]
Redshift, a cosmic fingerprint, a tale the starlight tells
Of distant galaxies receding, as the universe swells
Stretching the wavelengths, shifting colors towards the red
A measure of distance, a story of the cosmos, read.
[Bridge]
From distant quasars, blazing with primordial fire
To galaxies swirling, in a cosmic, grand gyre
Redshift reveals their secrets, their distance and their age
A chronicle of the universe, written on a cosmic page.
[Verse]
The astronomer smiles, a sense of wonder in his gaze
The universe unfolds before him, in a starlit, cosmic maze
Redshift, a guiding light, illuminating the unknown
Revealing the secrets of the cosmos, on his lonely mountain throne.
[Chorus]
Redshift, a cosmic fingerprint, a tale the starlight tells
Of distant galaxies receding, as the universe swells
Stretching the wavelengths, shifting colors towards the red
A measure of distance, a story of the cosmos, read.
[Outro]
In the quiet of the night, under the starlit dome
The astronomer listens, to the whispers of light from home
Redshift, a cosmic echo, resonating through the years
A testament to the universe, and the beauty it endears.
Lonely mountain throne.
