Third verse picks up the tempo; "interconnected orbits" is staccato and bridges into an instrumental section; "goodbye satellite" begins the resolution completed with the last half verse...

"Gazing at the stars leads to galactic aspirations
Howling at the moon became our lunar inspiration
But all within the solar system’s slightly out of tune
When we consider earth without the moon

Ancient lore and relics buried deep within the ground
Illuminate and demonstrate the wisdom we have found
A message from the ancients carved in stone in mystic runes
Never live on earth without the moon

Geopolitical altercations are a hyperactive display
Pessimists always predicting radioactive decay
Looking back I’ll have to say it ended all too soon
If we end up on earth without the moon

Interconnected orbits
Tides of history
Growing concentric circles
Escape velocity

Good bye Satellite
We will miss your light
Sanctify the night
God, it felt so right

Someday in the future we’ll emerge from our cocoon
And recreate our earth within the moon"

Cool Jim, those lyrics would make a good AM tune, I might suggest a few changes if allowed, for example maybe:

Gazing at the stars leads to galactic aspirations
Howling at the moon became our lunar inspiration
But all within the solar system’s slightly out of tune
When we consider Earth without the Moon

Ancient lore and relics buried deep within the ground
Illuminate and demonstrate the wisdom we have found
A message from the ancients carved in stone in mystic runes
They never lived on Earth without the Moon

Political manipulation provides a distracting display
Opportunists demanding orbital decay
Had they succeeded it would have ended all too soon
Alas to live upon the Earth without the Moon

Interconnected orbits
Tides of history
Growing in concentric circles
We reach escape velocity

Hello Satellite
We all love your light
It sanctifies our nights
God, it feels so right

Someday in the future we’ll emerge from our cocoon
And recreate our Earth within the Moon


Since the Moon is not going anywhere soon (I hope, say it ain't so!) Not that my edits are any better, but they kinda tie it into the recent RIAA threat, of course I don't know what was in your head when you wrote it. Got any music to go with the lyrics yet?
