Helios Orbit from Astronaut Song by Starcruisers

HELIOS ORBIT

The god who dared blaze a wandering trail,
Whose chariot rose in the east without fail
A turning of worlds that began with the dawn
Nighttime retreating, the light coming on
Rays of the sun from the crowned diadem
Piercing the red and gold clouds with a hymn
Come the morning, his sister Eos alone
Paving the way for the star on her own

Helios traveled the sky like a prince
He's warmed the whole earth from the past ever since
The light he gave freely so nature could grow
His life-giving legacy more than we know

Phaeton his son drove quadriga one day,
Could not restrain all the four horses at bay
Zeus struck him down with a bolt from the blue
To keep him from burning the world as he flew
Hyperion his father looked down from above,
He had nothing to give to his son but his love
A boat took him down to the river at night,
The journey through darkness to the first rays of light

Helios traveled the sky like a prince
He's warmed the whole earth from the past ever since
The light he gave freely so nature could grow
His life-giving legacy more than we know

All-seeing being the eye of the powers
He witnesses the truth that transpires at all hours
His sister Selene is the night's holy queen,
Who travels to counter his command of the scene
She gathers the stars as her inherited crown
But he rules in the day till his transport goes down
The colossus astride on the island of Rhodes,
His beautiful face for the world to behold

Helios traveled the sky like a prince
He's warmed the whole earth from the past ever since
The light he gave freely so nature could grow
His life-giving legacy more than we know
