Translation
Bilingual
Four million kilometers from the dying sun
Where steel and courage fade to dust and none
The asteroids grow thick like frozen rain
A monument to something we can't name
They say it was Prometheus, god of fire
Now scattered in the void of its own pyre
The chunks glow violet in the endless black
A graveyard with no body, no way back
We chase the shattered planet's light
Through fields of stone that choke the night
Ten thousand kilometers, then ten more
Each one reminds us what we're heading for
The density, it builds with every mile
We knew we'd never reach it all the while
But something in the wreckage calls our name
A world that died but won't release its flame
The promethium burns brighter than the rest
Twice as strong as what we've faced, possessed
With something that the crushers can't destroy
A memory that time cannot deploy
What force could shatter planets into dust?
What hunger, greed, or misplaced holy trust?
The archives hold no answers, only space
And in that space, we see our species' face
We chase the shattered planet's light
Through fields of stone that choke the night
Thirty thousand sixty we persist
Against the storm that shouldn't exist
The deeper that we venture toward the core
The asteroid field swells to something more
A wall of shrapnel, endless and alive
No ship of ours was ever meant to survive
Maybe gods can die, maybe titans fall
Maybe bringing fire costs us all
We thought we'd conquered distance, void, and time
But hubris is the only thing we find
They named it after he who stole the flame
And punished was his everlasting name
Perhaps this world reached too far, flew too high
And learned what happens when Prometheus dies
We'll never reach the shattered planet's heart
The universe designed it torn apart
A lesson written in celestial stone
Some mysteries are safer left unknown
But still we send our platforms through the void
To mine the fragments of what was destroyed
For in the ruins of that distant place
We see the future of the human race
Four million kilometers from the dying sun
We turn our vessels back the way we've come
The violet glow still haunting every screen
The most beautiful wreck we've ever seen
