Asteroid Songtext

i am an asteroid on its course, holding steady to what appears random
but in the emptiness, the nothingness that dominates
a sun appears, unnamed and before unseen
as i approach i feel myself catch fire
the layers of ice and elements shedding in displays of brilliant light
colors radiate, i shimmer like a star
but as i come close, my angle brings me too near
i'm caught in your gravity, my path becomes unclear
there's no hope for escape, if given the chance
i would not choose to return to the expanse
