Diane Hine - On Saturn's Moon lyrics

If viewed in black and white, it could be Earth, with river deltas, shores and sculpted rock. But sands in endless dunes round half its girth, are ever- frozen grains of ice which flock, enslaved by Saturn's tidal-driven winds. Revealed in filtered amber twilight haze, the similarity to Earth rescinds. Volcanic slushy ice spreads tar-film glaze, across ice landscapes; ranges, plains and dust. And methane clouds replenish methane lakes, reflecting skies which glow like vapoured rust. Up high, a prebiotic co*ktail shakes, as sunlight strafes an elemental mix and smog drifts down past rainbows infrared. Our dying sun in future will transfix the Earth with bloodshot eye; prognosis- dead. But creeping warmth is outer planet's boon. Ammonia and water oceans form. Exotic life erupts on Saturn's moon, an eon-length methanogenic storm. And maybe refugees from Earth or Mars, will call the orange world of Titan ‘ours'.
