lyrics

[VERSE]
Waking to the dawn
Sands as black as nights of old
Strands of golden hair
Flicker on the ground below
Flowing through her veins
Burning wrath of ancient ways
Giving, loving, taking life
As her ashes rise to outer space

[PRE-CHORUS]
Looking up
Webs of clusters overhead
Looking up
Speaking to the stars she said

[CHORUS]
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure

[VERSE]
Chanting voices near
Waking dormant fauna
He sails on kiawe seas
With glowing, flowing mana
He's drawn towards the summit
With light approaching supernova
Scaling, mounting fiery heights
Of glowing, flowing lava

[PRE-CHORUS]
Looking down
Beauty strikes him through the chest
Looking down
Tension on the highest West

[CHORUS]
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure

[BRIDGE]
Forever matched in lover's grasp
We drift away in endless mass
Orbiting stars growing gamma bright
Spin before us with infinite might
Matched in ancient lover's grasp
We drift away in an endless mass
Entropy swells the ground below
And bursts throughout a cosmic legato
Gaze affixed, our lives transfixed
Tidally locked in eternal bliss

[CHORUS]
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
Pele Honua
Heavenly attractor
Pele Honua
Heaven without measure
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
