lyrics

At the centre of our galaxy there is a black hole some call Sagittarius A*, but I know that it's name is Abaddon, I heard when I listened to hard. I have lived so long I have seen the Earth go around the Sun 20 or so times, 20 more for my mother, 20 more for her mother 20 times, 20 times, oh Abaddon. My whole species has lived so long it's seen the Earth go around the Sun 200 000 times, and in all that time the sun has not seen all sides of Abaddon.

Chorus: It's faceless, they named it, so strong that no wave can escape it. Space and Time trade names inside of Abaddon.

Some people say you're not as great as you are, and others still say you're just the corpse of a star.The heathens believe in right handed neutrinos Abaddon, oh Abaddon. I have learned not to believe in much. I'm quick to caution and slow to trust. Lessons learned they're often hard but they're true, like how someone that you care about so much might be better off without you.

Chorus
