The Astroverse

Cydonia

Some places are discovered.Others are remembered.Why does a silent city on a dead world continue to appear in our dreams?

The Echo

Signals we receive that seem strangely familiar... are they calling us home?Perhaps that is why certain places feel less like discoveries... and more like memories?

CYDONIA
Music: J. Drenning, J. Lords | Lyrics: B. Martinez, J. Drenning

God whispered out to me from outer space
His voice echoed then disappeared without a trace...

Beyond the light of the sun...
Beyond the edge of forever...
I hear the angels sing...

Chorus:

Cydonia - city I see in dreams
City I see in dreams
Cydonia - shrouded in mystery
You stare out in space all alone

God's eyes stare down at me from outer space
He looked deep inside of me... a lonely place...

Beyond the light of the sun...
Beyond the edge of forever...
I hear the angels sing...

Chorus:

Cydonia - City I see in dreams
City I see in dreams
Cydonia - Shrouded in mystery
Cydonia - City I see in dreams
Starlight's majesty
Cydonia - Shrouded in mystery
You stare out in space all alone

— Lead I —

Chorus:

Cydonia - City I see in dreams
City I see in dreams
Cydonia - Shrouded in mystery
Cydonia - City I see in dreams
Starlight's majesty
Cydonia - Shrouded in mystery
You stare out in space all alone

— Lead II —

Starlight's majesty!

"Despite our shortness of breath and beating of our hearts, the Martian sphinx (Cydonia) looks natural - not artificial, not a dead ringer for a humanface... But I might be wrong." - Carl Sagan, from A Demon-Haunted World
