Draconian - Pale Tortured Blue

Made this Draconian edit to commemorate the flyby of Apophis today on March 5th 2021. Though it zipped by safely km away (44 times the distance of the moon) the 370m asteroid will come within 31,200km of Earth on 2029, which in astronomical scale, a hair’s breadth. It will be the closest approach for an asteroid of its size in recorded history, even closer than geosynchronous communication satellites. We should be alright, bar miscalculations or unanticipated gravitational correction. On my naked back A dance of the nocturnal sun The tall grass crawls around me In adoration bowing Can I find you in your dark? Can you find me in your heart? There’s a fallen statue in the wilderness It has found its way to your dreams Haunting the waking hours In nights’ color With eyes like rain The shades beseech you My love increases you And summer freezes you into me The cold fire suits you A pale tortured blue blistering through A lifeless lover was The high mountains where we tried To reach the stars, the moon, the ways beyond It was the purest love of all It was the purest love of all I will raise a statue in the wilderness It will find its way to your dreams This will haunt you forever In nights’ color With eyes like rain Yet I collect the stars you wept Keeping them as my own To be lost in your eyes For all the sadness that we kept And I fail to realize it’s you The cold fire suits you A pale tortured blue blistering through (blistering through) When there’s peace within myself and everything else A pale tortured blue blistering through Music videos are from Draconian live performances. Movie clips are from the Lars von Trier’s Melancholia
